Bible Note: Hank, Here's a quotation from "Church History in Plain Language" by Bruce L. Shelly, part of an introduction to an essay on Gnosticism. I thought it might fit hre: "The Event--God in flesh--has always struck man as religious nonsense. History shows how tirelessly man schemes, searching for some substitute explanation." pg 50. Shelley points out the upside of this scheming on the preceding page (49): "Heretics, in fact, served the Church in an unintended way. Their pioneering attempts to state the truth forced the church to shape 'good' theology'--a rounded , systematic statement of biblical revelation." Heretics are still serving the church today, also in unintended ways. Colin |
