Something that really surprised me in regards to the traditionalists, and the modernists have to do with the difference between God still performing miracles and God not performing miracles. I do feel that this is a similarity that we find in a lot of Christian denominations in terms of gifts of the Holy Spirit, or even miracles for that matter.

The other thing I found very interesting is that the difference between the Messiah, being a man versus the Messiah, being an age to come. It kind of reminds me of the end, times, and how some Christians believe that believe in a literal thousand year reign versus a figurative one, or even when we talk about the new heaven, and new earth. I guess it just has to do with the the interpretation of things to come or as I previously was mentioning miracles.
