Bible Note: The council of orange dealt with THE COUNCIL OF ORANGE (529) The Council of Orange was an outgrowth of the controversy between Augustine and Pelagius. This controversy had to do with degree to which a human being is responsible for his or her own salvation, and the role of the grace of God in bringing about salvation. The Pelagians held that human beings are born in a state of innocence, i.e., that there is no such thing as a sinful nature or original sin. As a result of this view, they held that a state of sinless perfection was achievable in this life. The Council of Orange dealt with the Semi-Pelagian doctrine that the human race, though fallen and possessed of a sinful nature, is still "good" enough to able to lay hold of the grace of God through an act of unredeemed human will. Not with the statement you quoted. With the exception of his comments about scripture Pelagius' quote was exactly what Christ was trying to show the Pharisees. They had man made laws, man made doctrines, man made rituals none of which brought them closer to God. It was a problem if the heart which is exactly I see in the reformed theology. |
