Just browsi...Hi Turretinfan,<br /> Just browsing some old articles. Did you realise the 7th Ecumenical Council took place in 787 not 783? A simple factual mistake at the start does not bode well.<br /><br />To be honest the reason why no iconoclastic works survive is that Iconoclasm did not survive as a movement to preserve them. You can hardly expect Orthodox Christians to do that job!

Turretin is not Christ.<BR/><BR/>I don't have a problem with people making alleged representations of the creation in general, as long as the purpose of such representations is not worship. Turretin is not to be worshiped, and as much as I admire his work I don't worship him.<BR/><BR/>-TurretinFanTurretinfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802277110253897379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21597890.post-17566494480020072292008-10-19T10:34:00.000+01:002008-10-19T10:34:00.000+01:00Can you explain to me why, if you are opposed to i...Can you explain to me why, if you are opposed to icons, that this blog has an icon of Turretin?orthodoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09445301151975209564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21597890.post-55533720054665096752008-09-27T03:17:00.000+01:002008-09-27T03:17:00.000+01:00Lucian,Your comments about councils not defining d...Lucian,<BR/><BR/>Your comments about councils not defining dogmas is mostly directed to the papists, not to me. I hold an orthodox Christology not because of the testimony of 300-some-odd bishops at Nicea, but because Scripture declares the doctrine.<BR/><BR/>But unlike the Christology of Nicea, the Iconophilia of Nicea 2 is not a defense of Scriptural doctrine, but the definition of an Turretinfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01802277110253897379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21597890.post-10904669771910551452008-09-27T00:45:00.000+01:002008-09-27T00:45:00.000+01:00Councils don't define dogmas.

What is their opinion regading this event? <BR/><BR/>This historical fact simply shows that Scripture is still and should always be our final authority, not tradition.
