Greetings all
I am stopping in to share my current view on the church and was wondering if there were any others here that were some kind weird protestant like me.
So I am unaffiliated with any of the high churches such as Rome, Orthodox Eastern, or Oriental. Guess that makes me a Protestant. I however find it fascinating that these churches have unbroken presbytery lines from the Apostles. I think that was Paul and the other Apostles original intent. The reason I haven't been keen on any of the high churches is because of some questionable induction over the years by the churches, at least I think. Obviously Paul was teaching to venerate the saints yet this is a big deal in high churches. I am not against venerating the saints, but by how much it is stressed and other such things that are stressed. I like good things, but saying that these are must and stressing them highly in practice is hard for me to accept.
Unlike most protestants I do not affirm the typical "faith alone" approach to salvation. Unless you me by Jesus' faith alone . I like the the more open canons of Catholicism and Orthodoxy, hey even a little bit of the Tawahedo tradition .
Are there any other weird people who aren't sure what they are?
