"Christ came to heal the world not to judge the world. He came to heal humanity not to judge humanity." Jesus said, "I came not to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through me."

[Pilgrim1411]

Jesus' death was expiatory.

@Pilgrim1411 some thinkers in the east are as judgmental and intolerant as those in the west. Why focus on putting others down for their interpretation of the how of Christ's redemption when the important thing is the Redemption. For many today the expiatory, juridical explanation is a stumbling block so I sympathize w those who use other models but it seems prideful to scorn others to whom it is still a powerful symbol.

@graypj, I think your statement assumes truth cannot be known. What you say would only have validity if no one indeed was in possession of the full truth. Since Orthodoxy is the criterion of truth, she has the right to make these kind of judgments.
