The reason people are so fond of their frameworks is because they're useful ... so I'm looking for objective ways to flag when it's time to ditch or revise a paradigm. <br /><br />Take care & God bless<br />Anne / WFWeekend Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425001168670801073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-52564534061018386062010-01-06T15:23:06.374-06:002010-01-06T15:23:06.374-06:00A very important insight to how we so often 'd...A very important insight to how we so often 'do' our orthodoxy. Yes, we all most certainly have our propensities within our frameworks - mine tends to be Creation/Fall/Redemption (picked up from Irenaeus) which I'm certainly aware of, at least most of the time, but being Christ centered as you suggest has to be the right way to go.<br />I'll be very interested to see this thought develop.Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13707181627588121525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-35989755311311383212010-01-06T11:36:58.120-06:002010-01-06T11:36:58.120-06:00Oh wow, I forgot to email you yesterday.

I think it applies to politics as well: the presidential candidate comes in with a stated promise (philosophy) and then wants the programs to support that promise even if they don't really lead that way or if circumstances change. They all do it, but the more ideological the party, the more likely they are to do so. I remember reading about the great explorers. Some of the English explorers failed because their ideology kept them from creative thinking.<br /><br />Just this week, I was reading some reflections regarding the "vote" by the ELCA last August, what people believed that the Bible had to say about said topic. one of the commentators said that if you come to read the Bible with a set of assumptions and then you use the verses to prove your assumptions, then you aren't really reading the Bible to see what it actually says. But how would a person turn off their own background and culture? I do believe, however, it is very important to recognize that we all come with these pre-built-in ways of seeing rather than being blind to that.LoieJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01977264499770654307noreply@blogger.com
