I trust that people have minds of their own and can research history. I do not feel the need to tell people what they must think and do.
Quote (Tim2 @ June 13 2007,06:01) It is not constructive to accuse the English translation of Chalcedon of error and then not offer any supporting evidence whatsoever.
Hi Tim2,
Who wrote the definition?
Spirit filled apostles alive and active in the power of God?
Or dried up theologians in love with their derived intellectual concepts?
We know Who wrote the scriptures and they can be trusted. But these men?nick
you have been on this site for a while now, i have seen you write the same things over and over again, you are a godly man with much patience, bless your heart, you don't give up to bring ones to Christ.
much love
reneChalcedon was an ancient maritime town of Bithynia, in Asia Minor, almost directly opposite Byzantium, south of Scutari.
It was a Megarian colony founded on a site so obviously inferior to that which was within view on the opposite shore, that it received from the oracle the name of “the City of the Blind.”In its early history it shared the fortunes of Byzantium, was taken by the satrap Otanes, vacillated long between the Lacedaemonian and the Athenian interests, and was at last bequeathed to the Romans by Attalus III of Pergamum (133 b.c).
It was partly destroyed by Mithradates, but recovered during the Empire, and in AD. 451 was the location of the Council of Chalcedon.
It fell under the repeated attacks of the barbarian hordes who crossed over after having ravaged Byzantium, and furnished an encampment to the Persians under Chosroes, c. 616-626. The Turks used it as a quarry for building materials for Constantinople.
To the south are the ruins of Panteichion (mod. Pendik), where Belisarius is said to have lived in retirement.
