ICHABOD, THE GLORY HAS DEPARTED - explores the Age of Apostasy, predicted in 2 Thessalonians 2:3, to attack Objective Faithless Justification, Church Growth Clowns, and their ringmasters. The antidote to these poisons is trusting the efficacious Word in the Means of Grace. John 16:8. Isaiah 55:8ff. Romans 10. Most readers are WELS, LCMS, ELS, or ELCA. This blog also covers the Roman Catholic Church, Eastern Orthodoxy, and the Left-wing, National Council of Churches denominations.

Eastern Orthodoxy - The Modernist Cure
churchmousec (http://churchmousec.wordpress.com/) has left a new comment on your post "Roman Catholics Not Happy with New Liturgical Lang...":
Yes, Eastern Orthodoxy ticks all the boxes as a 21st century theology. It will probably become more popular because:
1/ It is ancient and mystical.
2/ You can make of it what you wish (e.g. Luther was wrong).
3/ It looks good and photographs nicely (elaborate, aesthetically pleasing).
4/ You can pretty much call the shots on your own 'island of righteousness', since Christ did not come to redeem but to pass on part of His divinity.
Sorry, had to unload these thoughts as we were on topic.
No one who considers himself to be a Protestant should flirt with EO.
BTW, I'll have some posts coming up for you this week, Dr Jackson, on Calvinism and Universalism.
