1 | "Here I stand; I can do no other." | 2 Thess 2:15 | Morant61 | 170927 | ||
Greetings Robin! I can't speak for anyone else my friend, but my practice is simple. If a church father or ancient writer says something that is Biblical, he or she can be an illustration of truth. If a church father or ancient writer says something that is not Biblical, he or she can be an illustration of error. Dr. MacArthur once said that preachers are the only peole who can use anything - it is either an illustration of truth or an illustration of error. :-) But, to your point, there is much in the teachings of Luther that I admire, but there is also much with which I disagree. I don't have to agree with his every point to be able to use him as a source in some areas. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | "Here I stand; I can do no other." | 2 Thess 2:15 | Robin Hass | 170933 | ||
Dear Tim, I have to say you are coming across with a good Christlike attitude and are not getting rattled. IMHO the problem you have is that the aforesaid Evangelicalism is a system of interpretation and you people in general are often forced to deny the plain, face value, literal meaning of the text because you are a-sacramentalist. The Nicene Creed states 'We acknowlege one baptism for the forgiveness of sins' , the Scripture says the same in Acts 2:38 yet your theological suppositions forced you to contort and deny the Scripture. You have so many 'difficult verses' that need the theological mallet! I see this all over the place in Evangelical dogma, denial of the literal meaning of James 2:24, denial of the literal meaning of John 6, denial of the plain words of Scripture, left, right and centre. I feel you fundamentalists have made a deep cardinal error regarding faith, that it is the channel through which God operates and never mere matter and then you have to deny a lot of the plain meanings. The full meaning of a bodily-incarnational theology has not been assimulated into your exegetical system. I don't know of any widely held doctrines of the Church Fathers that I think are not utterly Scriptural. Robin |

Greetings Robin! I am not good at general topics, since I can't speak for anyone else. :-) Would you care to demonstrate one of my doctrinal positions that denies the plain meaning of the text, then we could discuss it and determine if your feeling upon fundamentalists is accurate or not. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

I will in due course. It's approaching midnight here and I shall soon retire for the night. Also, I rarely get the opportunity to use the PC for as long as I have tonight in the midst of my busy life. Thanks for your input and your patient manner. Robin |
