Jeff, I am not sure where to put this since I can't find an email for you. Since the GB thread is dead it seems, I wanted to email you my remarks regarding our convo on Turretin's maxim and the Filioque if you're up for it.

Drop me an email and feel free to delete this comment.

Hi Perry,

I sent you an e-mail. I hope it didn't get thrown into spam purgatory.
