1 | Debate Arminian/Calvinist views? | 2 Pet 3:9 | Morant61 | 81958 | ||
Greetings EdB! Maybe your just a halfism! ;-) Or, you could be one of those rarer critters, a hybridism! :-) On the serious side, I have refrained from this particular topic, but I would like to make one point. No one is totally defined by a label. Labels are simply descriptive terms which help others to understand from where someone is coming. So, I have no problem with labels per say. Having said that though, no one label can really describe anyone. If you have 100 people in a room, you don't just have C or A, you really have 100 'isms', because each will differ from the other at some point or another. I commend you for your desire for unity, but I don't really ever see doctrinal solidarity as being possible in this life. You mentioned the early catechisms and creeds. Each of them was an attempt to deal with false teachings which had begun to creep into the church. As each new error was dealt with, the unified church become more and more splintered. If we had a world of perfect people, with perfect understanding, we could probably all agree. :-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim Did it splinter or did the true beleivers address the issue decide if it were heresy and if it were threw it out. Only in the last 500 or less years has the church allowed "ism's" to florish unchallenged. EdB |
