And when we get to the details, I'll look forward to hearing what you have to add. <br /><br />--------------<br /><br />Hi Edward - thanks for the contribution. I looked it over & it did seem to be on-topic. In the future please feel free to send a link. I've googled up the original & am adding a link up in my post. I'd like the comments space to be used for people interacting with each other, so I'm also clearing off all the cut & paste comments of that linked article so that the comments box can keep with that purpose. <br /><br />----------------<br /><br />Take care & God bless<br />Anne / WFWeekend Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425001168670801073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-80851972371854136912010-05-19T23:06:57.064-05:002010-05-19T23:06:57.064-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Edwardtbabinskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13036816926421936940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-15152037434156970532010-05-19T08:22:36.749-05:002010-05-19T08:22:36.749-05:00Great points about the Law.
Re: the sacraments -...Great points about the Law. <br /><br />Re: the sacraments - there is also a minority position in the Baptist churches that there really are such things as sacraments. While more prevalent among British Baptists, the view lives here in the U.S. as well. My Baptist church is heavily sacramental, as, obviously, am I. Of course, everything is relative. When I say "heavily sacramental," I still speak as a Baptist. The Orthodox would laugh at us, no doubt. But, still, it's there.<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to the rest of your series. Thanks for the excellent work you do on your blog!!Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11727689682452973822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-35421874724534983452010-05-19T07:53:31.313-05:002010-05-19T07:53:31.313-05:00That's a good idea.

The Eastern Orthodox deserve better than to be crammed under other headings, and some of the RC/Protestant controversies would make more sense if the RC/EO controversies had been covered first. <br /><br />Last night I was mentally going through my list of various Christian groups & making sure I'd covered all the controversies I wanted, & I think I want some more areas too. For instance, the question of different ways Christians see the laws of the Old Testament -- it comes up in the Church of Christ, the Seventh Day Adventists, probably others that are slipping my mind at the moment. <br /><br />Also a good idea to cover "What is a sacrament?" separately. There's some slight difference between how RC/EO define 'sacrament' and how, say, Lutherans define 'sacrament' (which is behind why they have 7 and we have 2). But the larger divide is between people who say 'there's such a thing as a sacrament' and 'that's superstition, magic, and/or works-righteousness'. <br /><br />Good ideas. Thank you.<br />Anne / WFWeekend Fisherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10425001168670801073noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15860677.post-56130117087195144652010-05-18T20:25:11.506-05:002010-05-18T20:25:11.506-05:00An excellent list!!

You could cover the differences the West has with Eastern Orthodoxy under the creeds (the filoque) and salvation (their notion of original sin vs. The West's idea of imputation, etc), but it might be helpful to include a more concentrated post to the Orthodox perspective. <br /><br />Also under the sacrament / ordinance area, you could add a broader look at the question of what a sacrament is in the first place. This could help frame the looks at baptism and communion.Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11727689682452973822noreply@blogger.com
