That's why I didn't understand why we would not want to bring them into the discussion. See what church history has to say about the matter. If what they say is Scriptural and cannot be refuted from the Bible then how can we argue against that? That's all I was trying to say. Quote: |
Use it as a strong guide, but never just sit and experience faith by proxy.
| I whole heartedly concur. In fact, like I said, I am just learning how to become confessional, so I don't always express myself in the best manner on some things. I used to be one of those "No creeds but Christ" guys. Quote: |
Again where would we have ended up if Luther et al listened to the pope about the "history of the church?'
| Well, what Luther was going against was the unscriptural stands that the "church" was taking. I'm not saying that everything that church history says about a matter sets it in stone, but I also don't believe it can be left out of a discussion like this.
I guess I do get a little edgy when people want to start calling things a myth. This coming on the heels of the "Is Genesis 1-11 a myth" thread.

Blessings to you also...
Now that we are done, let's look at the task at hand shall we? lol
Does the Bible actually present an "origin" of the Devil - A "Fall" or Satan/Devil, or is this Christian mythology?
I am going to guess it should read "A fall OF (not or) satan/devil. Angelology is a subject I have not really thought of. So I guess I can learn a lot.,
