No, I didn’t forget. Salvation, would you be so kind as to post the links to the previous two threads? Thank you!
“The English translation is from the Greek text, which is the more authoritative version.”
But of course! :)
Isn’t this just magnificent:
“For scripture does not say that the Word united the person of a man to himself, but that he became flesh. The Word’s becoming flesh means nothing else than that he partook of flesh and blood like us; he made our body his own, and came forth a man from woman without casting aside his deity, or his generation from God the Father, but rather in his assumption of flesh remaining what he was.”
Our priest started last Sunday on a series of sermons about each of the 7 Ecumenical Councils.
Orthodox ping!
Reading about this Council really depresses me. It was after this that our churches went their separate ways for the next 1500 years. We’re in communion now though.
