Now we're back to a happy place. I'll admit it - I want to have it all figured out. I want to know the exact, correct truth. Therefore, I'm a bit of a Red Green sort of guy when it comes to theology and it's hard to say, "I don't know". To counter this, I'm quick to point out places where I might be wrong - incl. Baptism.There is a crucial difference than accepting what the Church teaches and admitting that the Church could be right. Doubt is ok, denial is not.
It's not Orthodox theology that I'm worried about.There can be no slippery slope though. Study Orthodoxy for long and you will find that the biggest complaint is that the theology don't change and hasn't changed hardly at all since the 7th ecumenical council.
I remember my courses at Purdue, while excellent, just whetted my appetite of Church history.The history of doctrine in the east can be covered in less than a thousand pages with the first half a shared history with the east and the west. The History of doctrine in the west to the 1700s would fill 3 more volumes and would be busting at the seams by the end of the 20th century.
