Bible Question:
Here is an interesting comment I found from an unknown source. "the Reformation was just that: a reformation, not a complete return to biblical Christianity." Are you inclined to agree, or disagree with that comment? |
Bible Answer: New Creature, both in respect to your question and to the quotation upon which you base it, I should feel more comfortable with both if the source of the quotation could be given and if the author of it could or would back up his assertion with substantive documentation and some measure of proof. From the quotation dangles the question that I would prefer to ask before venturing a comment of my own, and that is to ask the author what he has in mind when he uses the phrase "return to biblical Christianity." It is a phrase about which it would be difficult to elicit a uniform definition from theologians and even more difficult from users of this forum, I should think. But I wouldn't be at all surprised to see you draw a number of responses, give or take a dozen or more, all of which will be different and few of which will be based on anything more substantial than the quotation itself which, as best as I can tell, is nothing more than the opinion of an author who doesn't bother to back it up with facts, and who at this time, remains nameless. --Hank |
