Bill, it may be difficult in today's terms, but in his time Milton wasn't alone in this. Quakers held a similar view -- I think I remember Milton having dealings with Quakers. Quakers eventually went so far as to deny that the bible imposed any limit on human judgment and to deny the vicarious atonement.DWill wrote:Tom: nothing above individual judgment.

Tom, you make some good points, but nothing above individual judgment? Wouldn't that be like Robert's dreaded relativism? (sorry, Robert, no disrepect intended). It's very difficult to imagine M with that attitude.
I don't know what Robert dreads. Dingoes getting his chooks?
