Frankly, I can't remember a single post by Harley in this whole thread that I disagreed with, and I've read them all. If any of my posts were inconsistent with Harley, then that is solely on me. I began this thread with a set of very strong views, but they were unorganized and without structure. This thread has helped me tremendously to better that situation. So, I've been learning and developing all the way through.
As for Marlowe, I believe he openly says that he is not a monergist, so yes, there will definitely be differences there. But, so what? That we (or other Protestants) disagree on some things doesn't translate to both (all) of us being wrong on everything. Catholics disagree on plenty of things. Because of your number, you even get global news coverage on it. :)
There are clearly a number of Catholics (AND Protestants) who have little problem with the homosexual agenda, or who say that abortion is fine - even Catholic (AND Protestant) elected leaders in our own country. Clearly, this is against the authority. Are these people still Catholics? I would have trouble replying to posts from these people too, compared to the beliefs of the Catholics/Orthodox on this thread. I don't think it's fair to call out Protestants for inconsistency, when there is plenty of that to go around.
I think Baptist groups vary quite a bit as well.
Since I'm a Southern Baptist, I must say that I haven't seen this within the Southern Baptist community. Do you mean differences between "Baptists" and "Southern Baptists" and "Reformed Baptists", etc.?
Those synergistic Christians who stay very close to the Reformed sovereign God concept will believe in man's sinfulness and fall, God's redemptive grace, His guidance in our lifes to effect change, our redemptive guarantee. Those synergists who stray further away from the Reformed sovereign God perspective become more vocal in insisting upon's man's free will, denial of original sin, salvation is unknown, etc. History (especially Roman Catholic history) has shown the farther people have moved from a sovereign God perspective the more they've lapse into greater and greater error. There is no greater evidence of this then the posts on this thread.
