The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Who is a Heretic?

I must say, Ed, that you do have a sense of humour, be it a bit twisted.

Unless history has been rewritten in the past day or so, the doctrine of Total Depravity, that doctrine most odious to the natural man, was openly held by many long before the Reformation. One of the more vocal proponents of it was Augustine who opposed the heresies of Pelagius. Consequently, the issue of the noetic effects of the Fall was officially resolved in 529 A.D. at the Council of Orange. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/BigThumbUp.gif" alt="" />

PS - ALL true biblical doctrines are to be credited to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as holy men of old wrote those things which God determined should be known. FYI, this all took place antecedent to the emergence of the Roman State Church. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/evilgrin.gif" alt="" />
