1 | where do animals go when they expire? | Eccl 3:21 | Hank | 191598 | ||
Rabban - Are you saying essentially that each generation of individual Christians are to throw out the corpus of centuries-old teachings, confessions, and creeds (what we call orthodoxy, for want of a better name) and each in his own way proceed to re-invent the theological wheel? If not, what are you driving at? ...... By the way, now that you have amassed more than 50 posts on SBF, thus creating a certain interest in your ideas, would you mind going to the user profile page and tell us something about yourself, your core beliefs, your denominational connection, etc.? It always helps others on the Forum to understand where you stand and where you're going by learning where you're coming from. --Hank | ||||||

To Hank. (This will be my last post on this subject. I feel it is taking us away from more important things. I am not really an important enough bull to take up so much space). You ask 'Are you saying essentially that each generation of individual Christians are to throw out the corpus of centuries-old teachings, confessions, and creeds (what we call orthodoxy, for want of a better name) and each in his own way proceed to re-invent the theological wheel? If not, what are you driving at? ...... No we need not throw out the wheels but we have contantly to check the tyres. Every church in ever generation would be very wise to examine its teaching and creeds against the Scriptures and throw out what is unscriptural. All churches are unscriptural in some ways. We need constantly to review our teaching in the light of Scripture. That indeed was the basis of the great Protestant confessions. But even they have to be tested by each person in so far as they can in order to ensure that they are Scriptural. After all which one are we to follow? In other words we have to make our decision as to which one we should take to heart as demonstrating the truth. Obviously it helps if we know that great Bible teachers have declared one to be Scriptural. But even they can go wrong. |
