I seem to have touched a nerve. What do you have against confessional theology anyway? The fact that there is, oh, some kind of standard for what you are allowed to believe? If you will not mine the riches in your own tradition, so be it. But don't expect me to impoverish myself of the wisdom of saints gone before. I will make reference to historic creeds as I see fit, and I encourage you to do the same. You may cut yourself off from the past if you wish; such is nothing of my concern. But let it never be said of me. |

Dear orthodoxy, Subtlety and tact never hurt anyone. Jesus was straightforward and firm, and spoke with absolute authority, but he also was compassionate and full of grace. Tradition is fine, but bear in mind that our true roots are recorded in the Bible, in the actions and hearts of the saints in places such as Jerusalem and Antioch. This tradition is the holy Word of God, which is living and active, while subsequent tradition cannot share this quality. Yes, we must learn from the past, but often tradition is a history of mistakes and foolishness of man (which can be a great tutor). Please, please! This is a Bible study forum of saints from many backgrounds, pursuing unity of faith in Christ Jesus. Denominational or traditional bent is out of place, and courtesy will be rewarded by our Lord. Trust, friend, we all have more thoughts than we portray here, but hold back for the sake of fellowship. Blessings in Jesus' name, charis |
