1 | What are Calvins and Arminians? | Bible general Archive 1 | Rob Aronson | 68361 | ||
Hey Joe, Your words certainly hold merit, and in truth, one of the reasons I came to such a forum is to increase my historical knowledge of the church (as you know, this is a path that most have to seek independantly). I know well enough the differences between demoninations, and I certainly do regard myself as "Protestant" by nature (and moreover because I still protest Catholicism). I also look forward to learning more about the early great Christian thinkers and writers. I have a wood working knowledge of the Bible and I know what I believe; but I need to supplement that knowledge with the historical and lateral works of the early greats (I have Eusbius' Early Church History on the way, any other recommendation would be great). But you're right: "Christian" is a term that does not hold much relevance anymore. For example, when I tell people that I won't engage in certain activities because I'm Christian, they'll respond confusingly, "well so am I!" Thanks for your clarification Take care, Joe. -Rob |
