How cool is this?

We have a Covenant Theology forum. This is great.Well, since I discovered this forum I thought I would say a thing or two.Since I've been convinced of Convanant Theology everything makes for since.I can't put it into words, but Convenant Theology has tremendously changed my view of God, Eschatology, myself, and everything. It sheds such glorious light on the Bible.Anyone else want to say something good about Covenant Theology?

That little joke about evolution being an explosion in a parts factory that produces an airplane ... that's about what Covenant Theology did to my thoughts about God. Jumbles of different ideas jostling for space disappeared when the Covenants came in and detonated all my crazy ideas about how things worked -- and gave me a consistent view of progressive revelation across all history.

It lead me to the Orthodox faith.

Covenant Theology does make even more sense from Orthodox and Catholic perspectives.

Could this be because Calvin himself was very well versed in the Church Fathers? After all, he was a big fan of John Chrysostom.

I'm curious - how did you go from CT to Orthodox? Do you have a link/story elsewhere on CF?

No link. In a nut shell, Luther and Calvin looked East, so did I and stayed.

You are correct, Calvin was very well versed in the Early Church Fathers. I too am now reading a good deal in the Fathers. I've read most of the writings of the Apostolic Fathers, all Justine Martyr, Athenagorus, Tertullian, all the correspondence and some of the treatises of Cyprian, etc...

The more I read the Fathers the more I desire to read them. I've also been reaidng a good bit in Calvin. Calvin made the point, when countering Cardinal Sadolet's letter to the people of Geneva, that he and the Reformers were much closer to the Church Fathers than the Roman Catholics then were. I think Calvin is correct.

There are things about the Eastern Church that I admire. For example, I agree with their understanding of paedocommunion against the Western Churches views on this matter. But I don't believe I could ever go to the Orthodox because of other issues.

I have never visited an Orthodox worship service. We have an Orthodox Church in our area and I am hoping to worship there soon. I've worshiped at almost every other Christian Churh in the area.
