Thanks TL.
What I was trying to think of was an example where Mark himself would agree that the church was generally wrong for “x” number of years and so the argument he is using is not valid. Just because something has been generally believed by the church for “x” number of years doesn’t make it right.
I have heard it said that comps like Mark really aren’t that traditional themselves because even his view of women is different (and better) than the church has traditionally believed. They say how new the egal view is but there are aspects to the traditional view that even they can’t swallow and have therefore changed.
Of course, throughout history, as you say, I am sure that the Holy Spirit has been doing amazing things through remnants that aren’t bound by the traditions of men.
