It was a term used to "distinguish." With the exception of the bold, the source was stated exactly as it appeared in the source verbatim. There is no requirement for me to look for bits and pieces to mine to make you happy, and the statement quoted was the opening in the reference establishing the overall work. I have no requirement to quote the entire work, and the linked citation is sufficient to generate further discussion if you have questions or concerns. That is not cherry picking. Unless you are suggesting the overall reference was cherry picked to create bias. Is that what you're doing? If so, I would be happy to delve into it further with you
Seriously, wake up dude. I expect people to disagree on certain things here, but what you do is beyond that. You constantly jump to nonsensical conclusions about things. Once again...
Derp!
I showed that it WAS important to state what period you're talking about, (which you didn't) because the meaning CHANGED.
You're inane little tactic of bullying (the same as Drisch), isn't really working for you.
BTW "in saecula saeculorum" means "forever" (as in countless Latin liturgies) ... so what it means is entirely contextual.
It was used to "distinguish." I wasn't bullying you. You just randomly start spouting nonsense about things. If you feel I haven't stated something sufficiently to your understanding of said topic, you are welcome to ask. I wasn't "cherry picking" anything and never stated it was exhaustive. That's how you have dialogue with someone. I'm more than happy to expand on something, and I don't intentionally go out of my way to "cherry pick."
