  • Chapter Viii Active and Objective Tradition
    CHAPTER VIII ACTIVE AND OBJECTIVE TRADITION The distinction between active and objective tradition can be traced back to Franzelin. He makes the distinction in his Tractatus de divina traditione. There he writes, in the exposition of thesis I, that the objective sense of tradition refers to that which is handed down, doctrines or institutions transmitted by our ancestors.1 The active sense of tradition, on the other hand, refers to the process by which tradition is handed on. It includes the whole series and complex of actions and means by which doctrine, whether theoretical or practical, is propagated and transmitted to us.2 Doctrines and institutions form objective tradition. Active tradition is composed of the acts and the means which bring objective tradition to us. The acts refer to a process; the means signify an institution by which the acts are accomplished. It is remarkable that the term objective tradition is counterposed to active tradition. One might expect the corresponding term to be passive tradition, rather than objective tradition. This is a point we shall take up later.3 For the present, it suffices to see the basis of the distinction between something handed on and the act of handing it on. The distinction between active and objective tradition has been described so often by Catholic theologians since Franzelin that it has become, in Mackey’s word, axiomatic.4 It is an axiom because the theologians of the period between the two Vatican councils found it worthy of general acceptance. It is not axiomatic, however, if by that we mean self-evident.

  • Introduction I. Catholic Teaching Magisterium Vs. Protestant Scripture
    Text: Various Title: Differences between Protestant and Catholic Doctrine Date/Location: September 24, 2020 at College Bible Study, FBC Introduction Have you ever wondered, “What’s the difference between Protestants and Catholics? Is it really all that significant?” We will look at that question in these notes. I. Catholic Teaching Magisterium vs. Protestant Scripture Alone The Catholic church teaches that the Pope and cardinals can set official teaching about things not addressed in Scripture. This teaching is authoritative, binding, must be believed, and must be followed. It is as authoritative as the Word of Christ. Protestants take Scripture alone as their guide and rule. II. Catholic Scripture + Tradition vs. Protestant Scripture Alone The past teachings of the Catholic church are held in such high regard that they become as authoritative as Scripture. The Catholic church “does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and tradition must be accepted and honored with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence.” [1] With the point above, we have a very clear division between the beliefs of Catholics and Protestants. The reformed view of the Bible is that it and it alone is the Word of God. It is the only authoritative rule of faith and practice for the believer. There is no peer. To the Catholic officials, however, tradition and the teaching ministry of the church are peer authorities with the Bible. This is why the Bible has not been the center focus of teaching or of religious services in the Catholic church or education. III.

  • The Westminster Confession of Faith
    THE CONFESSION OF FAITH Chapter 1 Of the Holy Scripture 1. Although the light of nature, and the works of creation and providence do so far manifest the goodness, wisdom, and power of God, as to leave men unexcusable;a yet are they not sufficient to give that knowledge of God, and of his will, which is necessary unto salvation.b Therefore it pleased the Lord, at sundry times, and in divers manners, to reveal himself, and to declare that his will unto his a. Rom. 2:14–15. For when the Gentiles, which have not the law, do by nature the things contained in the law, these, having not the law, are a law unto themselves: which shew the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience also bearing witness, and their thoughts the mean while accusing or else excusing one another. Rom. 1:19–20. Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse. Ps. 19:1–4. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament sheweth his handywork. Day unto day uttereth speech, and night unto night sheweth knowledge. There is no speech nor language, where their voice is not heard. Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world.

  • The Early Rule-Of-Faith Pattern As Emergent Biblical Theology
    57 The Early Rule-of-Faith Pattern as Emergent Biblical Theology Tomas Bokedal Lecturer, University of Aberdeen [email protected] This article discusses the Rule of Faith ( regula fidei ) as a normative hermeneutical tool that promotes the textual and theological unity of the Old and New Testament Scriptures.
