Speratus states,

Sola Scriptura, J Edwards. Scripture is the only source of doctrine.
Speratus I believe I understand the standard of Sola Scriptura—I even use it. If you will review all my posts on this subject you will see an appeal to Scripture, among which are: Gen 1:31, Rom 5, 1 Cor 15:22, 45, 47, etc. Moreover, I have gone the extra mile with you to even interpret them for you. In addition, I have made several appeals to Ad Fontes, or get back to the original, which you have not done.

Though you have posted arguments from other men everyone of them thus far have already been disproven— You have no evidence Scripturally to support your view.

Now, though I know you will not and cannot do it, prove the Peccability of Christ—prove it from Scripture alone, not the articles of man, not unproved Lutheran dogmas or catechisms, but from Scripture alone. Can you do it? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/scratch1.gif" alt="" />

If you review my past posts, you will see that I did not appeal to other men, as you did, but to scripture alone. I do not need to introduce additional scripture. Your own references refute you:

As stated in Gen. 1:31, all things (whether peccable or not) were created by Jesus Christ who is eternally begotten in the impeccable image of the invisible God (Col. 1:15,16). As stated in 1 Cor. 15:47, the first man is earthly (peccable) and the last man is the Lord from heaven (Impeccable).

J Edwards asksPS: Have you ever read The Second Helvetic Confession?

Yes, and I find no endorsement of your doctrine of Peccability. But that is not surprising. According to Dabney, your Reformed fathers taught only Impeccability, "The old doctrine of the Reformed Churches asserted not only the actual sinlessness, which none but violent infidels impugn, but the impeccability of our Redeemer. In recent days, some of whom better things should have been expected, deny the latter."

Could Peccability have possibly been derived from Arminianism (i.e., If man is capable of doing good, surely Christ is capable of doing evil)?
