[QUOTE="SaintThomas, post: 1557067, member: 24194"] Respectfully, as a Reformed person, and a brother in Christ, I believe it's appropriate to say something here. I am very open to Orthodoxy, if it is the correct view. I want to be convinced, but your post here makes it clear you are arguing against something we Reformed don't believe. You have some of the terms correct, but are off on the theology. For example, to say we think faith is worthless... brother, Sola Fide is one of our top beliefs! We also affirm the Hypostatic Union. This statement isn't a defense of Reformed theology, as that would be against forum rules, but rather a constructive criticism to have a better conversation about the OP. Again, respectfully, I suggest if you want to convince the non-Eastern Orthodox the superiority of your position on predestination over theirs, and you venture to criticize their position, at least get their position right. Perhaps a Reformed thread in the other forum space is warranted, as an attempt to convince you of the superiority of our position, for one, [I]and[/I] at least help you argue with us better by getting our theology correct, if you choose to criticize it.
