Orthodoxy and the Consensus of Errors

 Lots of silly things got said even by disciples. Like John never dying. Like Jesus and the Resurrection being new deities. Like all the many gnostic doctrines. Plus the later Trinitarian philosophical ideas. And the thirty nine articles and 66 book canon. Disciples aren’t immune from error, even mainstream dogma errors. Just by an error going mainstream it doesn’t cease to be an error. Orthodoxy is not a way to avoid error. The errors just get baked in to the orthodoxy. People think they are wise tempting God, forcing God’s hand, like in divination, or human sacrifice, by trying to gain consensus as an orthodoxy thinking that God would never allow error to get set in stone so would intervene to make only truth get agreed: Foolish because God steps back like a father with a toddler, and watches the mistake being made, but loves us all the same, errors and all.
