Then, what we have here is FormerLib's admission that the Celtic Orthodox taught Calvinist-Presbyterian sacramental theology. ~~ And here we have OrthodoxPresbyterian bearing false witness and misrepresenting the words of others. Apparently, this is the only way that he can win an argument.

Well, if you're going to accuse me of False Witness, prove your charges.

You have accused me of falsely respresenting the words of the Celtic Orthodox Fathers. Here are the words of one example:
That is a DIRECT QUOTATION from Erigena. How have I "twisted" it in any way? If I have done so, provide evidence that I have done so.

On the other hand, if you ADMIT that Calvinists teach that "The Sacraments of the Altar are not the real Body and Blood of Christ, but only the commemoration of his Body and Blood", and we have seen above that Erigena teaches this, then it is unavoidably true that Erigena is preaching the same Eucharistic Doctrine as the Calvinists.

Ok, so you poke your nose into an Orthodox thread, vomit forth this Calvinist rah-rah nonsense, and misrepresent everyone foolish enough to converse with you. I hope you are proud of yourself but I do wish the moderators would delete your "contributions" to this thread.

I poked my nose into a Scottish thread, posting DIRECT QUOTATIONS from the Scottish Fathers as to what they actually believed.

If you just don't LIKE what they believed, that's one thing. But if you accuse me of having "twisted" their words, then you must provide evidence that I have done so -- or else you are Bearing False Witness and Slander.

You accuse others of that which you know yourself to be guilty. The meditation ball is in your court, sir.

MORE Accusations of Dishonesty from you with ZERO evidence.

IF you can bear to see the Beliefs of the Celtic Fathers posted, why do you accuse me of Dishonesty in posting their directly stated beliefs?

And having Accused me of Dishonesty, why are you unable to provide any evidence that I have misrepresented their beliefs in any way? I have simply DIRECTLY QUOTED the beliefs of the Scottish Fathers in their own words.

You have provided NO evidence that I have mis-represented their beliefs in any way whatsoever -- you have only provided evidence of your own willingness to level accusations of dishonesty, without a shred of proof.

If you accuse me of Dishonesty in simply posting DIRECT QUOTATIONS from the Scottish Fathers, and yet you have provided ZERO evidence that I have quoted them dishonestly in any fashion, what does that make you?

Dishonest, perhaps?

So, again, let's test your accusations of "Dishonesty" --

"The Sacraments of the Altar are not the real Body and Blood of Christ, but only the commemoration of his Body and Blood."

Is it not TRUE, that a Calvinist Presbyterian would affirm this very statement as being True; whereas a Roman Catholic or a Greek Orthodox would deny it as being False?

Well?
