What a treasure he has been for those seeking truth.

Mutual understanding and mutual edification between two earnest believers may be the true test of us loving God plus loving our neighbour. As Lewis says, any individual has no business agreeing or disagreeing with a debating society but only with a flesh and blood speaker while any lukewarm speaker/believer who loves to "talk religion" does not even come close to being engaged with. So a lot of high sounding "debates" like the one Lewis himself addresses here serve no real purpose to the flesh and blood believer on the ground. Rather than anyone taking refuge under an institutional religious umbrella of whatever name, we grow our humanity, our faith and ourselves by being honest in our thoughts and dealings with our neighbour, even those within our own house! If not, believers or not, even a husband and wife under the same roof will have real or unreal issues soon enough, splitting the harmony. Lewis is right to give zero weight to creed distinctions but distils the debate to the fertile area of mutual understanding that stretches us, and mutual edification that sustains and brightens our days together. As an aside, flesh and blood in war torn countries would have had less wars and more humanity had people not been taken captive by so many high sounding -ism's by wayward leaders. Therein lies the danger of not standing on the strength of one's humanity and compassion but giving heed to convenient gods made by man-instead of flourishing our humanity is wasted.

Perhaps the gap is bridged by returning to Orthodoxy

[@matthewstokes1608]

The Holy Bible is totally unaltered in traditional Anglicanism - and by it we have the living light of the Holy Spirit… True (serious) Christians who follow the path of Christ in the Gospels in the context of the full Bible - we are brothers… We must be careful not to seek to drive wedges of division where none are needed. We are different - but we can all see how uniquity is seemingly so treasured by our Creator. May God Bless us all.

​@@matthewstokes1608I agree im leaning towards orthodoxy and my church will tell you it's really about your personal relationship with God. But Martin Luther took out 7 books of the old testament before the king James bible was ever written. Books which have been in the bible for most of Christianity. Until the last 500 years. So the kjv is not complete. Orthodox confession isn't a priest being your mediator with God, its how you hold your congregation accountable and actually mitigate sin amongst the church.

[@matthewstokes1608]

@@crackbabystemcell6887 Martin Luther spoke German - Germany was far removed from England - and Luther had absolutely nothing to do with the formulation of the KJV Bible which is complete and as perfect a translation as was humanly possible by the greatest English minds of the day. If you call yourself a Christian you need to be terribly careful writing such things.

Returning to orthodoxy is like returning to catholicity. Neither the Eastern Christians, Papists, or High church protestants agree that they are unorthadox or uncatholic. Neither to Roman Catholics believe they have left the Eastern Orthodox, they believe they were left by them.

[@Dannyboy0202]

I often wonder if God wanted this way (different beliefs) to test us or expose our hearts. Because above all the different doctrines and virtues is love. There's too many people hating on each other just because they don't believe the same things, having problems with people they've never met or have done no wrong to them.

When a reader of Bible in English looks into Romans, does anyone realise Paul was teaching Jews how to be good Christians? It's like a Lutheran tries explain Anglican and RC Church goer why he as they failed to converting Semitic rooted Transactionals onto Teachings of Jesus which I see through the entire Epistle. In fact I am blown away when the Parable of Kingdom of God again talked about as little bit yeast mixed in dough or God's laws aren't actually seen in the Nature around but only during His Lifetime full of Miracles! - Unlucky maybe students of Science else even of Law as merely mindful of breaking it - the Punishment as awaits for sins and not Love, Joy, Peace indwelling hearts due to Spirit by those belong with Christ's free of Devil's domain Slavery...
