Thanks! I have been thinking about this subject quite a bit after a debate last week on the subject and the argument presented was that they had a different interpretation of the bible. But as I pointed out, the Bible is not a catechism or a full-scale theological treatise. If look at the 27 books of the New Testament You won’t find any that spell out the elements of the faith the way catechisms do or even the way the ancient creeds did. Those 27 books were written **for the most part** as provisional documents addressed to particular audiences for particular purposes. Most of the epistles were written to local churches that were experiencing moral and/or doctrinal problems.
