| Jul 11, 2012 at 14:04 | comment | added | Dan | It's just that there is a lot more in the tradition than just scripture - specifically how we worship (Divine Liturgy / Divine Service). | |
| Jul 11, 2012 at 14:03 | comment | added | Dan | I don't think you'll find any true, pure, and perfect tradition. But no smart Roman Catholic or Eastern Orthodox theologian would assert that their tradition is perfect. It is self correcting, later decisions change earlier ones - and this trend will continue. That's part of the process, we must give our ancestors a vote ("democracy of the dead"), that doesn't mean we allow a "tyranny of the dead" whereby we must blindly follow tradition (this is where my Western/Lutheran tendencies come into play). | |
| Jul 11, 2012 at 13:59 | comment | added | Dan | I don't believe that anyone truly is free from tradition. We simply have different traditions. For Lutherans, that tradition is the decisions of most of the early ecumenical councils and the Lutheran Confessions. For Catholics that is all of the ecumenical councils prior to 1054 plus all those in the Roman Catholic Church thereafter. For Eastern Orthodox it is all those prior to 1054 plus all those in the East thereafter. No one on agrees on which tradition. My point is simply that everyone agrees that there is a tradition. | |

| Jul 11, 2012 at 2:44 | comment | added | Jas 3.1 | One question: How do you reconcile your high view of tradition with your "Eastern Lutheran" doctrines? (Probably both the Catholic and Orthodox churches would say that your views are contrary to true, valid tradition.) | |
