Bible Note: I know the sentence brother Ed was referring to... I don't see the word "Reformation" in there. The period of history I was talking about began several hundred years before the Reformation. (Now that you bring it up, thank you for your resistance to Ecumenism. It is gratifying that some of the laity don't see eye-to-eye with the ECT agreement. I think we'll both be happy if I hang around in my relegated condition of 1564!) As I stated before...

The scripture is all about truth... and truth is what I pursue... and to that end, let us do, indeed, return to the study of the Word... the supreme, all sufficient, efficacious, and perspicuous source of all revealed truth! Psalms 19:7-8 The law of the LORD is perfect, converting the soul: the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple. The statutes of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes. |
