[εις επαινον δοξης αυτου] New comment on Question???.
lilrabbi has left a new comment on your post "Question???":
That's the idea. Some people will do evil with labels just as some people will do evil with a nice sculpture.
You really do have to weigh whether a label is still what it was. The language of a people will change over time.
It is easy for me. I am not in any position of consequence, so I don't have to worry about things like this. I'm fairly free to think of it without the chains of the practical.
For my part, I'm not sure I would call myself a fundamentalist. Can I be a Machenist instead? I am definitely a baptist. Definitely a Calvinist. Probably not a Van Tillian. Yeah, in my mind, these labels are still helpful. That said - you can't control every misconception that an ill-conceiving populace may have!
I'm not sure there has ever been a fundamentalist mystic. I find that hard to believe.
