There's nothing new under the sun... With that said I am sola scriptura. I am somewhat skeptical of men, especially men that want stature in any organization.

Gordon. I don't think anyone can rightfully call themselves orthodox unless they have never changed their beliefs from the end of the Old covenant.

What is its purpose? To boast of tradition? ct what they once were? How can one boast of tradition if they no longer completely refle

It is of no use in my mind. Jesus is Lord, we are brothers. Amen?

Ok I see that the tradition you talk about is perhaps a the tradition of doctrine. What I meant by orthodoxy was agreement on what scripture meant by church fathers. It has no boast to it.

For example:



In the creed:

..............

He will come again
to judge the living and the dead.

and

...............
the resurrection of the body,

...............

This I would say this is orthodox belief, and most anything contrary is heresy.


So in this case orthodoxy has changed little if any since the apostles.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by: "How can one boast of tradition if they no longer completely reflect what they once were? " The creeds are basically the same universally since the apostles sat in council due to individual or groups with ( heresies) or ideas that just were not sound according to scripture and experience. Heresies spurred on the creeds.

Brothers yes. Always. Praises to the Lord.
