New vs old theological landscape

[Jesusthekingofking]

There are denomination that cling to the old tradition and have hugh respect on old theologian, they are Roman catholic, eastern ortbdox, Lutheran, reformed, anglican

But on the other hand there are new wave who cling forward, they're pentecostal and new protestants movement, I can't name them because they're too many.

What's your take on this? Isn't it safer to cling backward? I can't imagine clinging forward to follow groups that overwrite leaders age by age, it seems like this kind of movement always have something new to sell. They like to predict the future, takes 7 day Adventist for example, have failed numerous of time trying to guess the exact date of Jesus's return.


One thing that isn't convincing to me is that, they can read the same text but still get new lights.

It's best to stay with the original. The gospel remains the same. The bible doesn't mean anything different than it always has so there's no need to keep reinterpreting it.

The next challenge : how to figure out which is the most original?

Look to the Churches in the bible. Corinth, Antioch, Ephesus, Thessaloniki. They are still there.

Probably best to cling to Jesus Christ of Nazareth and His promise of guildance through His Holy Spirit. IMHO, denominations, both old and new , are guilty of spreading doctrines of men. Blessings.

so do you accept the men (12 apostles) teaching? haha!

The 12 Apostles are the foundation along with the Prophets and Jesus Christ of Nazareth is the Chief Cornerstone. So yes I accept their teaching.
Blessings.

You said:
there you go, there's a lineage. How about Ambrose, St Augustine, John Chrysostom?

I say: No lineage equal to the foundation however there are those who build upon it and not all the names you listed above have done it without some controversy.

Why not follow the example of the first church.. The Way?

What happens to any community based movement? It is either annihilated or incorporated into institutionalisation. Think of how today self proclaimed committees take over neighbourhoods and lay down demands (rules) how homeowners should live.
