1 | Solo Scriptura -- Radical Individualism | 2 Tim 3:6 | DocTrinsograce | 243401 | ||
"Furthermore, those who, having forsaken Scripture, imagine some way or other of reaching God, ought to be thought of as not so much gripped by error as carried away with frenzy. For of late, certain giddy men have arisen who, with great haughtiness exalting the teaching office of the Spirit, despise all reading and laugh at the simplicity of those who, as they express it, still follow the dead and killing letter." --John Calvin (1509-1564) |

2 | Solo Scriptura -- Radical Individualism | 2 Tim 3:6 | EdB | 243402 | ||
Calvin by saying this negates the ministry of the Holy Spirit. Yes scripture has set the boundaries for us but the Holy Spirits ministry is to guide us within those boundaries. To attempt to limit God is far more deadly. I can understand Calvin's fear without the leading of the Holy Spirit this life is a fearful place. But God did not give us a spirit of fear. God's plan is perfect it does not need embellishment of man's reasoning. What man needs is to learn to be lead of the Spirit and let God held the rest. |
