Desert Rat

Sunday, July 08, 2007

I looked up Moravians, and they are Protestant with, "...an emphasis on Ancient unity as well as Renewed unity." This is their motto: "In essentials, unity; in nonessentials, liberty; and in all things, love." This fits into the class discussion on Tradition (fundamental basics) vs traditionns (whatis not crucial to observe) So they are not Orthodox, but their hearts are in the right place.

Bultman makes me sad; I think he is wrong about creeds; he is honoring the outer form of a creed but not the reality it represents. He doesn't believe them, only believes them because he needs hope. That is a very half hearted approach to faith. He might as well leave offerings at all sorts of pagan statues, if he needs hope so much. That's a shotgun approach to faith, that one of those pellets might hit home.
