Bible Note: Greetings Robin! I can't speak for anyone else my friend, but my practice is simple. If a church father or ancient writer says something that is Biblical, he or she can be an illustration of truth. If a church father or ancient writer says something that is not Biblical, he or she can be an illustration of error. Dr. MacArthur once said that preachers are the only peole who can use anything - it is either an illustration of truth or an illustration of error. :-) But, to your point, there is much in the teachings of Luther that I admire, but there is also much with which I disagree. I don't have to agree with his every point to be able to use him as a source in some areas. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
