Jesus is Lord!

[Note by me: Contrary to the authors assertion, we never engaged in debates. There are no old debates. I simply asked him some questions, and he wrote these long and detailed responses. At the beginning of his presentation, he questioned my motives, which is a fallacy (Appeal to Motive).   "Greeting in Jesus Christ our Savior. I hope you are well. I already answered your question, but you apparently read right past it. Read it again carefully and you will see there is no '' true orthodox'' group to which I could belong, but only the really *one* undivided communion of Orthodox churches.
