So, the likelihood of my redemption is directly linked to the degree of liberality? I thought you said you took scripture seriously, Evensong. ![[Confused]](confused.gif)
The liberal scholar takes scripture far more seriously than others do because they attempt to ascertain what the scriptures meant in their time.
And that's the only way we can really attempt to understand what Jesus really meant.
Are you really suggesting that liberal theology is the only branch of theology that takes the original context and meaning seriously, Evensong? That's truly incredible.

Without wanting to speak for Evensong, it seems pretty clear that she is talking about a spectrum, not a binary state.

Oh for fuck's sake. Anyone who thinks that God's official representatives never need correcting has just thrown out the entire need for prophesy. That's a massive chunk of the Bible denied right there.
I mean, who needs all those awkward, wild and sometimes literally woolly prophets turning up and making things difficult when The Establishment is perfect?

Much as I'm on your side of this argument, orfeo, I think you've misrepresented the other side slightly here. It's not that God's official representatives never need correcting, rather that everything coming out of the ancient Church councils and so on is fully reliable and inspired by God. Not my view at all, but I think it's closer to what Ad Orientem et al are arguing.

It's not something the Episcopal Church is very big on, not having a reliable seat of teaching authority, but this "and so on" is called Tradition. Scripture is part of this Tradition.

In which case 'and so on' is a vague field with a circular definition. Want something to be a rule people can't argue against? Hey presto, it's Tradition. Want something to be overturned? Hey presto, it's not.

What you say is, of course, unkind and unflattering, but stripped to a cartoon, it is largely the case.
A more generous—and useful—way of dealing with things is to make a reasoned consideration of what is, and what is not, authentic Tradition. There is really not anything presto about it—except in the hands of certain posters on this thread.
The Orthodox speak of the Canon of the Church, which incorporates much of the Church's life, the Scriptures, the writings of the Fathers, the writings of synods and councils, the manner of celebrating the liturgy and office, and more.
But wait. We are here to bash the godless Episcopalians.

Lewis J. Patsavos, ++Bart's North American go-to guy on canon law has written this useful tract, The Canonical Tradition of the Orthodox Church. Being a canon lawyer, he naturally focuses his canon more on Law than on custom. It was Alkiviadis Calivas from whom I heard the expansive sense of Canon to include the entire Church life.

I think I can safely agree that the way Ad Orientem throws Tradition around is not a method I would attribute to the Orthodox church generally.

It might help if we understood what each other means when we refer to tradition. I'm not entirely convinced that we're referring to the same thing. When I refer to it I do so in the context of the Apostolic faith and everything which it encompasses and I take a maximalist view, that is, I tend not to categorise things into non-essentials and essentials: either there is the whole faith or no faith.

I'm thinking Orfeo is trying to say that wielding Holy Tradition without charity or an awareness of what it's like to be a gay believer in 2013 is not Tradition.

I have a lot of sympathy with people who hold to a maximalist position. It makes a lot of sense. Except when it's taken to a binary extreme - 'either the whole faith or no faith.'
That's not maximalism, it's just being a maximum arsehole.

Ok. I'm willing to admit that "no faith" goes a bit too far and am therefore willing to retract that part, but it's certainly not the same faith which is why, for instance, we insist that Filioque must go.

It's a bit of a DH but if you do insist thus do you do so from a position defined by scripture or one defined by tradition?

Why make a distinction? I wouldn't. Tradition isn't something separate or parallel to the scriptures.

You're doing it again, Ad Orientem.
I wish the filioque would go too. I wish that the Pope, Archbishop of Canterbury, all the various Free Church leaders and so on would suddenly decide to ditch it.
The fact that it exists, though, doesn't mean that the West as a whole believes in the double-processin of the Spirit or has a defective view of the Trinity. I agree that things could be clearer if that wretched clause we excised from the Western creeds. Bring it on.
It is capable of being misunderstood and it has been misunderstood and for whatever reason - pride, negligence, I dunno-what-else, none of us on the Western side of the Schism has yet revoked it. We should.
But that doesn't mean that we are practising a completely different faith. We are practising a variation on the Christian faith that we all share. We aren't practising an entirely different religion.
For goodness sake, man ...

To be fair, people used to believe the earth stood at the centre because that is what it sort of looks like to a casual simian observation. The mention in the bible was probably just an assumed touchpoint, and likely was not intended to represent divine revelation.
The main point revealed is, obviously, is that religion is about making near-random assertions about reality and then fighting over them. All that stuff about benefitting humanity is pretty fucking marginal in comparison, objectively.

I disagree, in that the earth being at the centre becomes an important theological basis for establishing that it's all about us and we're terribly important. It's used to underpin the idea that the universe is for our benefit, rather than having us be located near a very ordinary sun in the outer suburbs of its galaxy.

Geocentricism was never held to be part of the faith. It was merely, as RooK rightly points out, and observation of the physical universe. I know that you will bring up Galileo, as everyone does, but as I said before, as an Eastern Christian it's completely irrelevant, a red herring.

This statement make you an ignoramus. You may not like the premises—they do seem preposterous—but the fruit of working rationally with these premises is anything but random.

Notice how you translate "religion" as "your specific religion", and feel obliged to defend the careful rationality of it all. But step back and look at everything asserted by every religion, in all its contradictory splendour, and tell me that it might not look amusingly random from the outside.
Especially the bits about shellfish, fabric, and hair. Seriously, what the fuck.

Not at all. I was calling you an ignorant nickelodeon, stuffed full of predictable assholery.
Notice how you insert your comments into a thread about a specific religion and then translate the field to "every religion" to assert amusing randomness.

Let's consider the alleged predictable assholery.
Assholery: Presumably referring to it being not particularly well-meaning of the other participants.
How do you differentiate my commentary as being fundamentally less appropriate for the thread than all those chiming in and saying "I'm glad X is not a part of religion Y"? Especially when their reasons for doing so are, seemingly, for the exact type of things I was commenting about?
Predictable: Assuming that it refers to how you could guess what I might post given the context.
It seems to me like my philosophical/spiritual mien is no more consistent than any of the other well-established entities hereabouts. As such, it seems reasonable to assume that my level of predictability is fairly unremarkable. This troubles you why, exactly?
Perhaps what you are trying to imply is that I don't post about anything else, which would be a real problem. But you probably know that's not true; most of my posts are boringly meta (posting about posting/Hosting/chocorrit), and precious little about my own nasty, mean-spirited thoughts. Even when said nastiness is merely an appendix to a post mostly about grinding away at the weakest aspect of orfeo's argument (whom I cruelly hold to a higher standard even when I agree with him).
TL;DR - Stop pretending that you're new, you fishy-smelling queefstain.
