→And above all these things put on LOVE, which is the bond of perfectness
:::Also, while much about nature of God remains an ineffable mystery, that does not give anyone license to ignore or discount what God has chosen to reveal about the Incarnation by way of the Holy Spirit and the Holy Ecumenical Councils, including Chalcedon and Constantinople III. If you disagree with what those councils said, it's fine by me, I don't make it my business to force my beliefs on others. But as long as you fail to accept those councils, DON'T claim your belief is the same as mine. --[[User:Matrona|Matrona]] 15:54, November 6, 2005 (CST)

::::Dcn Peter Theodore has beautifully expressed it, "So as for the Tome. I believe it says A, B and C and that C is error. Yet I need not say that the Tome is explicitly heretical, I may, as I do, suggest that it is ambiguous and badly written in places. EO theologians such as Father John Romanides of blessed memory have said the same. Now if Constantine believes it says A, B and D then he may quite happily confess it as Orthodox. And I might talk to him and agree that if it did say A, B and D then it would be free from error. So I then discover that Constantine and I, who both believe A, B and D, find no substantial difference in our own faith. We disagree however in whether the Tome teaches C or D. It is the same with Chalcedon. Our bishops have agreed in Synod that both our Church and the Eastern Orthodox do indeed teach A, B and D while we may still disagree as to whether any historical events or synods taught C, D or indeed E."
::::I believe it's better now to stop this discussion. --[[User:Arbible|Arbible]] 16:06, November 6, 2005 (CST)
