Ah, but Tertullian ended as a heretic -- a Montanist. Which makes him a traitor to orthodox Christianity. Subsequent to that he created his own, the Tertullianistae... yet another sect ? not necessarily a traitor, simply following his own dream... Eventually Montanism was condemned by the Bishop of Rome, and the Montanists were pushed out. They lingered on in Asia Minor for some centuries. Later fathers of the church wrote an occasional polemic against them. Tertullian fiercely attacks those who condemned the new prophecy, and in attacking the church authorities as more interested in their own political power in the church than in listening to the Spirit, he foreshadows the protestant reaction to papal claims. At the end of the 3rd Century AD, a group known as the Tertullianistae may have marked a brief revival in the west of this group. tertullian.org tertullian.org Hmmm makes me wonder who is the traitor... Besides, in those days, they were just starting out, they were, explorers of ideologies... no ? Good thing he was not a Republican, or Democrat... more along the lines of Ralph Nader's "Green" no ? [good thing they did not have "polling" in those days -g-] I have my own sect, membership of one --No Kool-aide allowed -g-
