Yikes. So this is the profound theological thinker I keep hearing about..

Latin west no longer needed Greek as the world spirit had moved to the Romans.

>>18094723
the eastern romans spoke greek and most relevant church fathers wrote in greek

>>18094755
World spirit was already gone anon. They were then a stagnant oriental civilization like India or China.

Sure, Ivan. Whatever you say.

wait until you find out he fucked everything that moved, had a bastard child and cheated on his wife

Reminder that his lack of greek caused him to misinterpret Romans 5:12 and the west has never recovered.

Just because Calvin latched onto a few of his theological positions, due to his own perverse shallowness and lack of understanding, doesn't make him a "proto-Calvinist".

It makes Calvinists thieves or parasites, extreme heretics who would have been denounced by Augustine in no uncertain terms.

Augustine would have had more respect for Arians and Donatists. He had more in common with Arians in terms of sacramentology than Calvinists, that is not an exaggeration.
Because their denial of the body of Christ physically present in the Eucharist is just a modern reskin of Gnosticism. Plenty of aristocrats in the middle ages held onto gnostic heresies, many were wealthy and influential. It's this strain that morphed into Calvinism.
Gnostics didn't believe Jesus ever had a body, and Calvinists believe his body is not present in the Eucharist.

He held to the real presence of living flesh and blood in the Eucharist, the monarchical episcopate and ordination as a sacrament along with marriage and confirmation (he affirms all seven known to the eastern and western church), the use of altars in worship, etc.

The cope from protestant apologists like White that he was closer to them than to Catholics is complete fantasy at best but more likely bluster and mere pretense, they know better and are openly lying in order to claim any kind of pre-modern tradition whatsoever. It's sad, they are simply blatantly dishonest.

Augustine is not a proto calvanist, calvan is a post augustinian, just how luther is also a post augustinian. It means nothing because Catholicism is the Augustinian religion. Source: Pope Leo QED

Was that before or after his conversion?

Jerome was arguably worse, a cunning, vehement, violent man who came up with twisted interpretations

>>18094723
The Greeks were part of the Roman Empire you faggot

>>18094873
ok but why post a picture of GAFCON?

>>18094710 (OP)
Oh wow! ANOTHER pedantic pedo priest. Many such cases. Also, AFRICAN! Catholics worship a Jew and an African every Sunday. Literally SAD.

>>18094957
I assume he was mad at me for Hegel posting and posted it to insult Protestants because he doesn't know the difference between Lutheranism and Anglicanism with Rwandan Characteristics.

I don't get it
Isn't Augustine just some guy? Why would he be better at figuring out the Bible than Pastor Billy-Bob?

Classist snobbery.

explain

He misunderstood the Greek phrase ἐφ᾽ ᾧ (eph' hō), which translates to "because," as meaning "in whom," leading him to conclude that humanity sinned "in Adam" and developed the doctrine of original sin as inherited guilt.

Yeah and Julius Caesar was a proto-Hitlerist
