It is a learned position...even if wrong:-) Sorry, I couldn't resist.<BR/><BR/>AndrewGone for nowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07737184817375562018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9387707.post-19248790398813679632007-07-31T00:36:00.000-05:002007-07-31T00:36:00.000-05:00Eileen,I hope you are doing well.

I see now there is no need for me to enlighten your understanding as Boneman has explained his comment, which is always better than having me try to explain it. Keep the questions coming. <A HREF="http://www.paedocommunion.com/articles/gallant_examination_and_remembrance.php" REL="nofollow">Rev. Gallant</A> has an article that explains the paedocommunion position on I Corithians 11 if you are curious. <BR/><BR/>Boneman,<BR/>Thanks for commenting. For the record my blog was not supposed to be an attack on paedocommuion (though I do disagree with it). It was merely to point out the irony of an article about the lack of intellectual integrity of the Reformed churches using 'blah, blah, blah,' to not only describe, but prove your point about churches being against paedocommunion simply because of tradition. <BR/><BR/>Your case is not strong enough to brush off the legitimate exegetical arguments about I Corinthians 11 with a 'blah, blah, blah.' <BR/><BR/>My two cents.<BR/><BR/>Thanks again,<BR/>LeeLeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10422257306176024118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9387707.post-89632104220875188792007-07-30T21:49:00.000-05:002007-07-30T21:49:00.000-05:00Eileen, Lee, and everyone else,What I meant by the...Eileen, Lee, and everyone else,<BR/><BR/>What I meant by the extrospective pastoral context of 1 Corinthians is that over and over again in 1 Corinthians, the "body of Christ" is applied to the local church in Corinth. There were factions in Corinth over various and sundry things, but Paul was pleading with the Corinthians to be at peace with another because the partook of "one loaf." So when we come to 1 Corinthians 11 and the bits about discerning the body of Christ, this is about unity in the church, not something else.<BR/><BR/>As far as my blog goes, I was not mounting a monolithic argument for paedocom. I was simply using an example of how very simple hermeneutics are explained away by those who simply want to cling to their tradition.<BR/><BR/>I would be happy to engage in something more lengthy, but that was not the goal of that particular post. Please.<BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/><BR/>BonemanBrett Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05144675337854340948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9387707.post-58661838148679054182007-07-30T13:00:00.000-05:002007-07-30T13:00:00.000-05:00Lee,I wonder if you might explain the comment "ext...Lee,<BR/>I wonder if you might explain the comment "extrospective pastoral context of 1 Corinthians as it relates to 'discerning the Lord's body' (the unity of the local church). I'm not sure I understand what he means.<BR/><BR/>Is he saying that particular Scripture means the local body of believers and not the Lord's body which was broken for us? And he wants it to say that so that he can legitimize paedocommunion?<BR/><BR/>Enlighten my understanding if you would please.eileen~https://www.blogger.com/profile/10023505762681786196noreply@blogger.com
