Subject: Theological Term: Orthodoxy |
Bible Note: Hi Doc, I'm sorry, let me try again. This is one of the benefits of reflecting back to someone what we understand that they mean by their communication. People are generally quick to tell us where we get it wrong. I understand from what you said where it seems I read into your words more than you intended. I apologize, and hopefully I will be able to demonstrate a better understanding. You have defined "orthodox theology" as the theology expressed in the creeds, confessions, and writings by those groups and people you have named. You have stated that these creeds and confessions are all rooted in the Scriptures. By this, then, when you say of a certain doctrine, teaching, understanding, or etc., that it is orthodox, you are saying that it agrees with the creeds, confessions, and the writings of aforementioned men, and when you say that something is unorthodox, you are saying that it disagrees with the creeds, confessions, and the writings of aforementioned men. Is this an accurate understanding? Love in Christ, Mark |
