cd: Wow I understand Gary and agree with him. Something tells me this is going to be a good day:-) By the way where is everybody? Lance are you still running people Off?
one thing J Wes and radical Protestants may have in common is the displacement of theologians:
interestingly, the 'J Wesley quad' which omits Finney (a theologian) embraces Kant (a philosopher)
cd:Finny and Wesley disagreed on Christian perfection at first-later Finney changed his view and came on board with Wesley.I mean of course Wesley's view of Christian perfection not what is being offered by the masses and the best way to study the teaching of Wesley is to read His sermons for your self and decide-there are some online if one cared to search. His journals are also good reading. Coming from the Baptist background I didn't much care for his teachings at first but a couple of years later the Lord lead me to read them again-and I liked what I read-I guess it took me a while to assimilate the new approach.I believe him to be in St. Paul's class but not infallable in all things. Seven day Adventist and Kant- have little in common with Wesley as Kant was opposed to Christianity-and Seventh Day Adventist don't believe in hell ( there is more opposition of course but this is the common differences). But it is possible that log
ic would have prevailed in the truth of these beliefs to come to an agreement with Wesley on certain issues. I believe that this is why one should just keep studing the Bible as God wants to lead all to truth and to show error.
summarizingly, gauging theology for what it is biblically, radical Protestants do not circumvent Cath priest-ology then replace the priest-ology with philosophy
cd: Amen-this is of course coming from my view of what a radical protestant as-which may disagree with Gary view.If Gary would care to explain the statement in more detail it would be helpful-English will do as I cannot interpret tongues:-)
