Do you listen to BAM much? They have, for years now, pointed to something they call "the historic Christian faith" as an arbiter of what the Bible can, and can't, mean.
The "historic Christian faith," as far as I can tell, is BAM's name for a somewhat-truncated version of Sacred Tradition. They don't call it that to avoid giving evangelicals a stroke. As any Catholic or Orthodox Christian can explain, that tradition isn't authoritative over the Bible, but is certainly a contributor to the discussion about which competing interpretations of the Bible are legitimate, and which aren't.
RE: Historic Christian Church
How far back in history?
I am hard pressed to find practices like prayers to departed saints or Mary or belief in the primacy of the bishop of Rome in the earliest Christian writings.
On these topics alone, you cannot
avoid trying to defend an Orthodox or Catholic point of view of such men were to host the program.
People here want to insist that Orthodox or Catholics can host this show without problematic issues like these coming up.
It can’t be avoided.
