the question concerning the observing of holy days, wherein the Gentiles and Jews differed, he saith unto them, _He that observeth the day, observeth it to the Lord; and he that observeth not the day, observeth it not to the Lord_. And they who strive concerning such questions, and divide themselves into sects, are not therefore to be accounted zealous of the faith, their strife being but carnal, which is confirmed by St. Paul (1 Cor. iii. 4): _When one saith, I am of Paul, and another, I am of Appollos, are ye not carnal?_ For they are not questions of faith, but of wit, wherein, carnally, men are inclined to seek the mastery one of another. For nothing is truly a point of faith, but that _Jesus is the Christ_; as St. Paul testifieth, (1 Cor. ii. 2): _For I esteemed not the knowledge of any thing amongst you, save Jesus Christ, and him crucified_. And 1 Tim. vi. 20, 21: _O Timotheus, keep that which is committed unto thee, and avoid profane and vain babblings, and opposition of science falsely so called, which while some profess, they have erred concerning the faith_. 2 Tim. ii. 16: _Shun profane and vain babblings, &c._ Verse 17, 18: _Of which sort is Hymenæus and Philetus, which as concerning the truth, have erred, saying, that the resurrection is past already_. Whereby St. Paul showed, that the raising of questions by human ratiocination, though it be from the fundamental points themselves, is not only not necessary, but most dangerous to the faith of a Christian. Out of all these places, I draw only this conclusion in general, that neither the points now in controversy amongst Christians of different sects, or in any point that ever shall be in controversy, excepting only those that are contained in this article, _Jesus is the Christ_, are necessary to salvation, as of faith; though in matter of obedience, a man may be bound not to oppose the same.
