Alex, the above mentioned individual writes "But it’s not surprising that a reliance upon the distorted views of marital relations that some the so-called “church fathers” held..."

It never ceases to amaze me that 21st century Protestants claim to know the scriptures better, and have superior understanding of Middle Eastern marital relations than the 2nd and 3rd century Middle Eastern Christian apologists.

The Church bases its understanding of what those people wrote in their own cultural milieu and language they actually spoke, which is the same language and cultural milieu that produced the scriptures.

Protestantism is silly for a reason. This is how the divine plan of salvation is supposed to work.
