Each of us can say to the tempter, "Unlike you, I have not yet become an outcast from heaven through my pride. By my baptism I have become one with him.
It is you that should fall prostrate before me." --- St. Gregory Nazianzen
(A.D. 329 - A.D. 390)

Sadly he too thought his baby bath saved him, instead of realizing salvation came via faith and trusting in Jesus Christ as His Lord and Savior. Also tempting
the devil that way, telling the devil he needs to bow before him, is just prideful nonsense. When one rebukes evil spirits, it is to be done in the name of
Jesus Christ, not done as HEY LOOK AT ME, I am more powerful then you {a person like that will LOSE} and it shows a pomposity.

You know what is so sad? These Catholics that continually rely on the writings of the so-called ecf's etc, do not realize that most of them and I mean
most of them were NEVER, EVER Christians. They speak from unbelief!!! Their writings and
heretical meanderings are a DEAD give away.

While there could have been a few good ECFS {really it is just dime a dozen opinions of men} most of them I have read, have creeped me out, just bishop slobbering weirdos into religious rites and the Eucharist, showing no real love, or fruits of Christianity. I used to quote and study ECFs more on these boards, but it was just spiral of confusion, evne their writings are different from website to website. You can see the Alexandrian cult influence on most of them and their love of vain philosophies. I mean look at this guy, that Mike posted on, wanting to FIGHT the DEVIL, acting like he is so TOUGH and wanting people including the devil to KNEEL before him. Some of these ECFs [like their Pope masters] love to have people slobbering over them and kissing their feet when one of the real apostles told people GET UP, I am ONLY A MAN. |
