Geisler's chart in his systematic theology says this regarding "Final Justification:"
Catholics affirm
Protestants deny
We can apprehend that certain truths, including mysteries, are not contradictions, even though we might be unable to comprehend them.
That sort of method leads to absurd statements like the one I quoted above about sola fide and *not* sola fide.
I'm saying that if there are paradoxes (apparently contradictory statements) in scripture that we just have to accept without harmonizing them, we might as well be universalist unitarians.
Conflicting statements in scripture that one must hold in tension and not try to resolve. One example from an evangelical book: “the relationship between sola fide and the necessity of good works for salvation...”
The embrace of paradox in theology is an acid that will dissolve the concept of truth and make it impossible to refute heresy.
