The Zwingli-Clinton axis

I was reading an article from a back issue of the Lutheran journal dialog and came across this amusing line: “This something could on that basis be regarded, alongside with the scriptures, as also normative as a sign of unity, even if not recognized by all the Lutheran Confessions, provided that ‘is’ does not really mean ‘is’ in the Zwinglian-Clintonian line of argumentation.”

  1. I am hoping it was ok to laugh in a berderline hysterical way at that snippet.

  2. I had a Church history prof who made that “what the meaning of is is” line flequently when refering to the eucharistic debates in the 16th century.
    I’m sure he also used it to provoke good Hoosier people who clung strongly to that view and hated Clinton with an equal passion.
