On the subject of systematics, can someone understand the Bible without having a systematic, even a non-Reformed one? EVERYONE has a systematic (theology) who has read anything of the Bible and then has a "view" on a biblical subject. For example, if you asked someone, 'Who is Jesus Christ?' if they answer then they have a formulated Christology, albeit perhaps rudimentary. To reject the notable Systematic Theologies, e.g., Hodge, Calvin ( Institutes of the Christian Religion), Dabney, Kersten, Berkhof, Shedd, Strong, Hoeksema, and others and formulate your own is sheer arrogance and an exercise in futility. Inventing the wheel is no easy task.  It is not unusual to hear someone brag that they don't adhere or even recognize any "Creed". But they are more than willing to tell you what they believe (aka: creedo). So, in essence they do hold to a creed; their own.  In His grace,
simul iustus et peccator
