Ask A Protestant

I’d be curious to see what authoritative council would disagree with this? Thanks!

I won’t be seeking for any church council (or bishop) to review your content.

The authoritative truth that concerns us is the truth (doctrinal, factual and otherwise) that we need to acknowledge and obey. There is human dignity in being rational and honest, acknowledging inconvenient truth, and taking responsible action to comply with it. One form of this is called “repentance”.

The doctrine that matters is not that to which we give a notional and intellectual assent but that which becomes practical and is lived out.

Lutherans have the same canon but place what they call the “Apocryphal books” at the end of the Hebrew Bible. The lectionary used by Lutherans (RCL) includes the cyclical readings from the same books as the Church of Rome.
