Subject: Tired of quotes that devalues others. |
Bible Note: i have not desire to defend Catholicism. So let us discuss the 3000 to 30000 Protestant denominations that all claim the authority of scripture but come away with 3000-30000 different interpretations. Without getting into the specific doctrines these differences are seen in their doctrine of baptism, methods of baptism, purpose of baptism and moves forward through communion, trinity, salvation, and on and on. Each claim their right and cite Bible verses to support their position. Each claim those that differ with them aren't using proper hermenuetic, aren't using correct context, aren't considering the proper historical factors, and etc. Differences in theology have raged since the Reformation, each side certain they were right and the others wrong. My point, offering quotes from a favored author that belittles or denigrates another's doctrine serves no purpose to the unity of body of Christ. They prove nothing since each is rebuked by an equally qualified Biblical scholar. And since agreement has not been reached in nearly 500 years I don't think it is unreasonable to say it won't be settled here. |
