The "issue" is those who are NOT of the Faith ...they who have 'snuck' in unawares..like wolves in sheeps clothing. “I praise You, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because You have hidden these things from the wise and learned, and revealed them to little children. 26 Yes, Father, for this was well-pleasing in Your sight.…For He was indeed crucified in weakness, yet He lives by God’s power. And though we are weak in Him, yet by God’s power we will live with Him to serve you. 5Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Can’t you see for yourselves that Jesus Christ is in you — unless you actually fail the test?Stephenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980724753973410660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-759178030677978044.post-89039467743733365912008-07-01T13:41:00.000-07:002008-07-01T13:41:00.000-07:00Indeed, UP, and thank you for helping to make the ...Indeed, UP, and thank you for helping to make the point. There is no doubt that there is a gulf, and much of the failure to engage comes from a lack of awareness of its nature.A. S.

The present lack of context is what some (dare I say "low-contexturals?) rejoice in. This of course leads to all manner of false teachings which the early Church writers seem to predict. Some of us still would appreciate a little dogma (Merria-Webster On-Line definition 2: <BR/>"a doctrine or body of doctrines concerning faith or morals formally stated and authoritatively proclaimed by a church").<BR/>Unfortunately even expressing such a desire leads the low-contexturals to decry us as "dogmatic." Perhaps this helps explain the gulf between us.Undergroundpewsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10182191422663119484noreply@blogger.com
