This is a bogus and uneducated definition. The doctrine of separation refers not to an action of the church, but the separation between God and humanity due to sin. Please do not post in ignorance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 192.138.89.235 (talk • contribs) 17:53, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

So edit the article then. Please do not complain without offering solutions. --Shubopshadangalang (talk) 22:55, 28 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Given that it's almost a decade since 192.138.89.235 made their view known, I thought it might be worth a look. The common use for "doctrine of separate" does seem to conform to the definition given on the current page. I've added a couple of references on the page to support this.

I think 192.138.89.235 is actually wrong. I researched a bit more about it, and none seem to suggest towards the idea the the doctrine of separation is the idea of the separation of God and humanity. Instead, the article seems to be more correct. I don't think its completely correct, though. This and this seems to say that the doctrine of separation can be divided into 2 ideas: Personal separation and ecclesiastical separation. This article currently says that "the doctrine of separation often leads to ecclesiastical separation", which makes no sense.

It links to the article "Ecclesiastical separation", which has the same layout as this one had (before i edited it and organized it a bit more), which leads me to think that this article and the Ecclesiastical separation article has the same author...

This article should detail and describe both ideas, or get retitled to " Personal separation (doctrine of separation) " or something. — I'ma editor2022 ^{(🗣️💬 |📖📚)} 04:22, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
