Joe k,
Perhaps Joe. I rant because I have been around people who have diefied men and confessions. IT is not happy company. I am now done with this. I said my peace and will move on.
And who might be the "happy company" here?
It is illogical and an ad hominem attack to refuse to consider the WCF simple because others have labeled those who wrote it "divines". Personally I do not care for the title "Reverend", but that does not prevent me from listening to men who have spent many hours studying God's words.
What you are suggesting is that only YOU and your barely hidden teachers have all the answers in interpreting the Scripture. So then, please interpret this for me.
And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers.
Who, pray tell, might these teaching men be if not men like John Calvin and those who faithfully labored to put together many of the great confessions and catechisms? I'm afraid you are on the very edge of going "SOLO" and starting your own "Church of the Apostolic Prophet Joe K".
Could it be possible that at least one or two men in history might have had a better grasp and gift of teaching Scripture than yourself? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/bow.gif" alt="" /> And if so please tell me where it is forbidden to give honor to whom honor is due?
