@versoaltohobbit@ErickYbarra3@OpStCyprian How are they not de fide? You must believe so-and-so is a saint because such is taught. Veneration and so forth only follows from this.
@OpStCyprian@ErickYbarra3 Well, their own 8th ecumenical council says they hold to something "like a second Scripture." Hard for me to understand how any RC could claim to consistently hold to Scripture's material sufficiency.
@ApostolicOrtho That guy was lost, but relatedly, do you think God's non-necessary knowledge is eternal? If so, how can that be if it is contingent on us (who, obviously, are not eternal)?
@TheOtherPaul2 My friend and I were just talking about how useful a local model AI would be: a database of all your resources, beliefs, plans, and experiences that future generations could reference, interact with, and get simulated responses that you might give to certain questions they have.
@subdeacondaniel@orthoalexandria@ApostolicOrtho@awmanspider True. Nevertheless, the resolution seems to suggest there used to be diversity within the Syriac rite that no longer exists. Is that right? If so, is there not a "parity of reasoning" argument here?
Thanks for bearing with me. I'm not EO, and your streams have been informative.
@subdeacondaniel@orthoalexandria@ApostolicOrtho@awmanspider Sure - I recall you saying (I could be wrong) the Byzantine service looks the same no matter where one goes. There's homogeneity, not diversity. Is that right? But resolution 4 appears to suggest there are advantages to homogeneity, even in spite of the ancientness of diversity.
