Key Doctrines

In a recent post by Rev. Dr. Warren Huffa called creedal Ideology?
he suggest that there are four key doctrines for us to read the Scriptures through, Incarnation, Trinity, Transcendence and Grace.

I tend to agree with him that reading the Scriptures through those lenses makes alot of sense. However, I believe that if you only use those four lenses you will still fall short of what Orthodox and Primitative Christianity is. For, I believe that is not placing  the Resurrection of Jesus high enough. I have found that having read N.T.Wright's Suprised by Hope that understanding that the Resurrection does not mean simply we go to Heaven when we die. That it actually means that one day we all will be Resurrected with the creation itself and that Jesus is the sign of that, suddenly Scripture makes sense, it becomes clearer than ever before.

That might sound strange for me to say that it makes Scripture clearer, however, I believe that Scripture is a faith document written by people of faith and for us to fully engage with it and understand it we actually need to hold the same faith. The early church believed in the Resurrection of the Dead, have a look at the Creeds it is there in black and white, it is not code it is what it says, Resurrection of the Dead. Yes, we go to Heaven when we die, but that is not it nor is that what the Creeds nor the Scriptures get really excited about.
