theculturewarrior Posted February 21, 2007 Author Posted February 21, 2007 Well, let me put it this way... How can protestantism be true, if it was started 15 centuries after Christ?
N/A Gone Posted February 21, 2007 Posted February 21, 2007 they dont care...they dont need historical whatever in an eccesiological form.
theculturewarrior Posted February 21, 2007 Author Posted February 21, 2007 That just seems unbelievably irrational.
Mr.Cat Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 The normal argument is that the true church does not have to be visible also it does not have to have the stricter form of unity that we would find in the Catholic Church. With this concept Christianity could disappear completely but for in the minds of historians for hundreds of years and reappear without missing a beat to their theology. Because of this, they can propose to “restore” true belief at any time they please and do not have to be too concerned about doctrinal differences. This of course is in complete ignoring of the Sacred Scriptures and the Early Church Fathers.
N/A Gone Posted February 22, 2007 Posted February 22, 2007 Well, I sent your initail post to a couple ministers I know and so far just blow offs. I know if it was me, I would likely have done the same. "rational" is subjective to experience. Protestant churches are often focused on communial situations rather than doctrine or even theology. I know every year when we teach intro to XPn Doctrine we need to convince the pastoral majors of the need to even study doctrine or theology. Considering those are the cream of the crop in the proto world the situation to argue patristics or history is in vain.
