Life long Christian; son of a pastor. I love a good theological discussion. I would describe my own views now a days as “Post-Orthodox.” Ever since Constantine called for the church the standardize its beliefs and practices the church has erroneously prioritized doctrine over praxis; and this error was doubled down on by many Protestants. And whilst I was raised Trinitarian, I have long since rejected it - there are better interpretations that follow biblical precedent and which don’t require reading Hellenistic thought into scripture. That said, it is good to start with a given tradition in your theological journey - there is much wisdom to be had. We just must be mindful that the Church Fathers were also humans who struggled with the scriptures. Ultimately what is important is that we manifest God’s love in this world.
