Methodist Quadrilateral still teaches their followers to view issues and compare them to their scripture, then their traditions, then reason, and Christian experiences...
Those are literally the four pillars of Wesleyan, which are all emotion over logic.
- AuthorizedCust 6y ago"reason", one of the "four pillars of [the] Wesleyan [Quadrilateral]" is "all emotion over logic"?
- IsopropylHarbor 6y agoYes, but you've conveniently left out your other pillars... Reasoning is just the act of thinking. An explanation for something which, according to you, should be framed around: Scripture, Tradition, and Christian Experiences. Scripture: Tells you how to feel (emotion) Tradition: Tells you this is how we've always felt (emotion) Christian Experience: Is a grouping of Scripture and Tradition (emotion)
- AuthorizedCust 6y agoReason is also the invitation to use our God-given intellect to help us come to conclusions. Otherwise we're disparaging God by disparaging that intellect. Otherwise, yes, the other three bases of the Quadrilateral aren't "reason".
