I must have misunderstood your last few posts. The point I was making is that we cannot disregard a man nor his work because of doctrinal differences or a "rebel" lifestyle.. I believe to do so is erring. There are many men whom we(some, not all) greatly respect/recognise who are far/or nigh from/to us in doctrine and creed(e.g. Justin Martyr, Charles Wesley,ect...).

"Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart, And all is darkened in the vale of tears, Then shalt thou better know His love, His heart, Who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears. Be still, my soul: thy Jesus can repay From His own fullness all He takes away."
"Long my imprisoned spirit lay,
Fast bound in sin and nature’s night;
Thine eye diffused a quickening ray—
I woke, the dungeon flamed with light;
My chains fell off, my heart was free,
I rose, went forth, and followed Thee." |
