I said the same thing to an Orthodox believer.
boy, that was like stepping in Shit.
NOT a small matter to them.
that small doctrinal change leads to all the sorts of things I mentioned.
but I can't really argue that in depth, its just that I've been the one saying what you just wrote, and I had to hear about it for a LONG time and in much depth. Jordon here was a witness, and it was a loaded, difficult discussion indeed.
It may be telling that the discussion was with a convert to Orthodoxy. ha!
