1 | Ears Covered So as Not to Hear | Job 36:12 | DocTrinsograce | 243342 | ||
"But if they do not hear, they shall perish by the sword And they will die without knowledge. But the godless in heart lay up anger; They do not cry for help when He binds them." (Job 36:12-13) "It is an illusory [based on an illusion; i.e., not real] belief of the Enthusiasts that those who keep reading Scripture or hearing the Word are children, as if no one were spiritual unless he scorned doctrine. In their [the Enthusiasts'] pride, therefore, they despise the ministry of men, and even Scripture itself, in order to attain the Spirit. "I maintain that it is easy to judge the spirit that actuates those who scarcely allow men to teach what the apostle bids to handle constantly (Hebrews 5:14); who pretend that the neglect that is here so severely reproved is in fact praiseworthy; who take away the Word of God, the only true rule of discernment, which is declared here to be necessary for all Christians." --John Calvin (1509-1564) |

This would have been more edifying had you included Calvin’s definition of Enthusiasts without it we don’t know if Calvin is talking of those that deny the Word of God or simply deny the word of man. Throughout history man has attempted to define, explain, and marginalize God. Some do it as deceived pawns of the adversary while others believe their intellect, their logic, their ability to communicate is so superior to mere man, that they must for man’s sake make known to man what God really meant. Though they are quick to deny it they usually have an agenda, a motive and have so convinced others of their great abilities they are given the soap boxes. Men that constantly seek the leading of the Holy Spirit, dedicate their entire lives to prayer and the study of the word are often ignored and looked down upon as not having such rich mental abilities, faulty logic or being deceived by the adversary. What Prophet speaking for Gold was ever given the audience that many that tickle the ear are given to explain, define and marginalize God and holiness are given. 1 Peter 1:15-16 (NASB) but like the Holy One who called you, be holy yourselves also in all your behavior; because it is written, "YOU SHALL BE HOLY, FOR I AM HOLY." |

Yes, history is not something everyone studies, let alone church history. The Enthusiasts were ones who marginalized God by refusing to learn from Him by His only self-revelation, the Bible... or even Christ the Word. What messes they caused! | ||||||

Is this Calvins definition or one that was applied to a certain group of people. the definition of Enthusiasts that I'm familiar with is closer to zealot or one completely sold out to God. |
