The problem that still captivates the Greek and [sic] latin Churches is that [sic] it's doctrines of Holy Tradition [sic] keeps it imprisoned within the Greek system...The devil has devised an ingenious system that prevents repentance, at least in the natural sense So, according to you, the Church has been in apostasy for 1,500 years? The Church is a "devil's system?"
In contradistinction to this veiw came the Reformers who looked at the biblical data with the Hebrew glasses of covenant...
That much is clear.
Rejecting the Greek speculation regarding metaphysical sameness and processes they saw instead the *ethical* nature of the covenant
In other words, being righteous (as in Judaism), and thefore "acceptable to God?"

Actually many such posters seem to think that the Church has been in apostasy since the 300s

[Qua to Agrarian as quoted by Kosta:] "The problem that still captivates the Greek and [sic] latin Churches is that [sic] it's doctrines of Holy Tradition [sic] keeps it imprisoned within the Greek system..." I know I'm not part of this line, but when you start attacking the form of a post, rather than its substance, then I'm forced to say something. If you would like to know the proper use of the word "sic", then I suggest you start here: AskOxford . I am certain there are others on this thread who could back me up that your use is improper.
In addition, out of courtesy, I have corrected well more than 25 of your spelling errors when I have quoted back to you. I am certain that others have done the same for me. Come on, Kosta, we all make typos and grammar errors. :)
