I’m sorry I’ve neglected my blog for so long, to anyone who actually reads anything on here. I shall try my best to get back on top of things and keep posting. I’m writing a paper on the place of Tradition, the Fathers, and The Creeds. I’ve not finished yet, but I thought the introductory paragraph had a cool ring to it, so I’ll give it now. When I finish the paper perhaps I’ll post the rest as well.
For the modern Protestant, the Bible extends merely as far as individual interpretation and application; Because no longer do we stay within the great towers of the Fathers and the tall sturdy gates of the Creeds, and the wide watchful walls of tradition. When these great defenses of Christianity are assaulted, it can only be imagined that the effects be devestating. Much evil doctrine begins to penetrate the church when the walls of tradition are demolished, the boundaries of truth become vague and unclear upon the dissolution of the towers of the Fathers, and those who remain huddled inside the dilapidated gates of the Creeds become too busy fighting falsity to build upon the once sturdy infrastructure of the city of doctrine. It is concerning to watch these gaurdians of Christianity fall, ignored, slowly to decay.
*cocks head to one side*
I like it. It does have a nice ring to it. However, I don’t quite see the connection between the Bible and the creeds?
I will also stay on top of things…Though I will not mention what kind of things…
hmm you’ll probably end up a pastor at this rate. Or a well known theologian.
lol! a pastor or well known theologian? Hmm… I suppose we’ll see shan’t we? I wouldn’t think so… but you never know where God might throw you next
