I follow the 39 Articles of Religion, the 1662 Book of Common Prayer as my system of confessional and propositional theology. The Westminster Standards are also my confessional basis for biblical theology. If you think either of these systems of theology endorse antinomianism you would be wrong.Charlie J.

How do we take his teachings such as the parable of the talents? Are we to take his practical teachings and not actually apply them? Why are we made made Imago Dei if we are not even to make an effort for reconciliation? Are we not to actively care for the Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11648832458119052910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15388492.post-44794709433771509752014-07-08T21:45:20.319-04:002014-07-08T21:45:20.319-04:00I just rejected another comment on this page where...I just rejected another comment on this page where the person did not interact with anything substantial in the article.
