ECF's list - grand experiment

[Douggg]

Another grand experiment. Please make a post and I will add the name(s) from your post of the ECF's into the Early Church Fathers list in this first post.

This thread is intended to be for the forum members' mutual information and benefit, not intended to be a debate thread. If you want to debate for some reason, please start another thread concerning specific issues you may have.

I will start the list. Just provide the information. You can just do it like this...

Doug this may take some time and I didn't want you to think no one was interested in helping you add to this list, so give me a few days and don't be discouraged. Great idea and one that will be really beneficial!

 

[Douggg]

bump.

 

[Handmaid for Jesus]

IMHO this should be sticked

I added Martin Luther, John Calvin, John Wesley, John Wycliffe, John Knox, William Tyndale.

Doug, I think it would be helpful if the church fathers could be categorized into an end time view that they held. I know you’re trying to avoid debate on this thread so perhaps when someone wants a church father to be tagged with a specific end time view you could list that view along with the users name and post number that contains the reason they think the church father held that view.

I don’t know if this would work or not, just a suggestion.

I think it would be too difficult, and also controversial, to attempt that sort of categorization.

Because an end time view involves so many elements, like who their position on the Antichrist was; their rapture timing view; their general view i.e. futurists, historist, preterist; are they amil, premil, etc.

imo, that sort of categorizing would take a spread sheet, with many many columns, with checks marks in a matrix beside each name. It would be very very very complex.

I think the best thing is just leave it up to posters, when they reference an individual in their post on whatever topic and content they are discussing - is to copy and paste the basic stats from the list in the opening post of this thread, as providing an information service to the readers of their post.

I added Sebastian Castellio to the list.
