    Romans 1:26–27; 1 Corinthians 6:9–10; historic universal Christian teaching.

  • Perpetual Virginity of Marystandard
    Natural reading of Matthew 13:55–56 (brothers of Jesus); typical modern Baptist / evangelical position.
  • Real Presencestandard
    Memorialist / Zwinglian view; typical Baptist and Free Church position
  • TransubstantiationSTRONG
    Orthodox reject the Aristotelian metaphysics; Lutherans use 'sacramental union'; 39 Articles Art. XXVIII rejects explicitly; Reformed/Baptist reject substance-change.
Wrestles with
  • Pacifism vs. just-warweak
    Default just-war framework — usually unwritten. Inheriting at weak confidence.
