Bible Note: Now we are making progress. In all of this falls another ingredient to the mix, “Orthodoxy.” The attitude of some is that they are not involved in Solo Scriptura and they believe they are correctly applying scripture. However their view strays from everyone else’s. Both sides claim sola scriptura yet both have completely different concepts of the same passage of scripture. Validity of interpretation is in fact determined by orthodoxy, what has been established as the orthodox view of a passage. This orthodox view must be established on scripture but the interpretation of that scripture may have come from sources external to scripture. That is why my blood boils when someone says my interpretation is correct because it is based solely on scripture. Unless it aligns with what is considered orthodox it is variant and is to be held in suspect. Now the question becomes who today determines what is orthodox? Is it us here on the forum, the Christian Research Institute, each person for themselves, the World Council of Churches, each denomination, council of Rome? I’m sure you have an answer and my whole thrust of this thread is are we sure our answer is the one that Christ desired for His church or have we broken into what I see as many different answers with many different opinions, attitudes and directions? Then I ask is this Christian Unity or is a ploy of the adversary to cause division within the church? EdB |
