If the term orthodoxy refers to "the body of essentials biblical teachings." Is that saying there are some beliefs that would be non-essential?<br /><br />I don't believe any teaching of Christ or Paul would be non essential. With that said there are teachings of scriptures that seem to give liberty as how we are to interpret them. Maybe its because of our untrained minds. <br /><br />All doctrine is essential, the problem is how we interpret the meaning as to how we are to apply that meaning into our lives and our church lives. And making a definitive judgments on all doctrine is rather hard.<br /><br />No one person has a 100% correct interpretation of all doctrine. Otherwise all would believe for example: Creation occurred in a seven day period, and spoken into existence by God. <br /><br />I realize there are many in both groups that say some doctrines are not essential but not all do that.Charles e.
