Live your theology.

Cool. Too bad all my non-shared-with-you, formerly Reformed friends online are going Orthodox on me (no, not OP), so I can’t rack up the referral points. But I guess the winner has been preordained from eternity, despite the odds, eh?

(You know, if we were hyper-Calvinists, we wouldn’t even have to enter the running…)

If we were antinomian we could just steal the books and then rejoice in the abounding grace that follows from our forgiveness!

What’s with all your friends going Greek?

Federal Vision.

I was waiting for them to, honestly. It’s the only logically honest, consistant place to go; it just took ‘em a while to see it. (Well, I was guessing Rome, but the Eastern church is paedocommunionistic, so there ya go.)

Funny thing, but though we disagree on many things, it’s easier to deal with now that they’re not trying to redefine Presbyterianism. And we don’t really talk about it. Girls can get by talking babies and dinner, to a great extent. And, we still serve the same God.

But I understand why He let this Reformed girl wrestle so mightily with Romanism, now. It was terrifying, even at the time! But it made me more gracious, I hope.

Still. :(

LOL, you know, the biggest thing I feared when I was being pulled toward Rome was admitting the FVists might have it right. :P

Federal Vision, eh? I think the real reason they joined the Greek church was because of a secret passion for My Big, Fat, Greek Wedding. That movie was hilarious. I almost became Orthodox Greek after I saw it. And though I’ve never met these friends of yours, I’m confident my assessment is correct.

That’s not uncommon. In fact, that’s the reason I make it a point never to be wrong. Even when I am wrong, I refuse to admit it. Could this be the reason I have no friends? No, it’s got to be something else.

I could buy the books and say the same thing, so :P

Good guess, except that they aren’t going to Greek parishes. Lots of Arabs in their respective congregations, actually (which, if you ask me, is even cooler). But it’s not like that makes it a different denomination, just a diff cultural tradish within Orthodoxy. So… getting their foot in the door for the free gyros? Maybe. Hmm.

Still, if it was all about the food, surely they’d be joining the BPC, where we have cottage cheese jello “salads” in every color of the rainbow, all-you-can-eat broccoli salad and spaghetti, and plenty of summer squash casserole for all. Fo’ real, yo. Buncha fat white guys (and girls) with *real* orthodox (little O) theology–how could you go wrong?

Those potlucks will be the death of us all.
