Protestantism, Pelagianism, and Eastern Orthodoxy


Protestantism:
John 15:5 Ye can do nothing.


Pelagianism:
Philippians 4:13 I can do all things.


Eastern Orthodoxy:
John 15:5 For without Me ye can do nothing.

Philippians 4:13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Actually Lvka Protestantism also says for "Without Me ye can do nothing". and again I use to be told by my Pastor "i CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST JESUS WHO STRENGTHENETH ME" . So you need to drop the Orthodox critical mindset when it comes to all proddys- some of them have issues with both Calvinists and Pelagianists. But love yuor blog .
Just remember what Metropolitan Hilarion of the ROC said that the issue is not between Prthodox and Catholics or Protestants but between those Christians who believe that God is the Lord of All and those Christians who seek to accomodate with the surrounding culture.
