St_Ignatius Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 I was wondering if someone could fill me in with what this is? I have read it a couple of times in the forums. Speaking of History I have read that Tertullian would be the first so called Protestant. Some of the stuff he has written is questionable but nonetheless a very interesting read. One of the greatest Protestant Ministers I believe was Mr. Rogers, I loved that guy! :peace: Peace out, St_Ignatius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StColette Posted June 29, 2004 Share Posted June 29, 2004 hmm all I could really find were some source for Neo-Evangelicalism which is the same thing as Neo-Protestantism I believe.

But do you mean that since Tertullian didn't agree with the popes he is a Protestant? From what I have read on Tertullian he had a problem with the laxity of the popes during their time and their use on forgiveness of sins by context of remissible and irremissible sins, conceding a power to the bishop to forgive the former but restricting forgiveness of the latter to God alone. His theory on exomologesis is an interesting one where a public confession is needed for forgiveness. Can't see me doing that one.

EcceNovaFacioOmni Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 (edited) Here is some relevant commentary: [url="http://www.bringyou.to/apologetics/num29.htm"]http://www.bringyou.to/apologetics/num29.htm[/url] It seems Tertullian left the Church before he died, but his sect was later reconciled by St. Augustine: [url="http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14520c.htm"]http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/14520c.htm[/url] Edited June 30, 2004 by thedude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrysologus Posted June 30, 2004 Share Posted June 30, 2004 Indeed, he did leave the Catholic Church. That's why there isn't a little "St." before his name. He wasn't a Protestant, though, as Protestants didn't exist before the sixteenth century, nor did he believe that the Bible is the sole rule of faith or that we are saved by faith alone, apart from good works.
