Perhaps I'm beginning to get a glimmer of something.
Earnest efforts at faithful obedience to Scriptures God has clearly protected SUFFICIENTLY for our fruitful edification is slavish mindless robotism.
But rote, lock-step, often obviously very slavish and mindless unquestioning robotism . . . reading preprinted magicsterical prayers, preprinted, predigested everything-- IN THE SERVICE OF THE MAGICSTERICAL and TRADITIONS OF MEN is pretty good alright--even elevated holy and super righteous compared to those evil idiot mindless robot Protesties.

Sometimes, it seems like the MAGICSTERICAL has destroyed all it's mirrors and erased the whole notion of personal insight from it's rubber dictionary and from it's experience. Then it's rushed out and mind melded that reality on all the serfs. Amazing. Yet the Protesties are the robots. GTTM! SHSMIHCBFMLN
I thought parochial schools taught logical thinking. Maybe they gave it up for lent. LOL.
Sigh.
Amen. This is the heart of Sola Scriptura and the basis for our Christian confidence in His word -- we trust that it is the Holy Spirit who gives knowledge and wisdom and brings light to our darkness.
"For by the Scripture as our guide and teacher, God not only makes those things plain which would otherwise escape our notice, but almost compels us to behold them; as if he had assisted our dull sight with spectacles." -- JOHN CALVIN "Commentary on Genesis" Vol. I
"For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven, whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
Which is come unto you, as it is in all the world; and bringeth forth fruit, as it doth also in you, since the day ye heard of it, and knew the grace of God in truth" -- Colossians 1:5-6
Saved by faith in Jesus Christ, which comes by hearing the word of God, according to the will of God, for the glory of God.
If it was not for the "prosties" the bible would be IN LATIN WHICH NOBODY BUT RCC PRIESTs COULD READ then and NOW... not to speak of the fact is was "then" against the law in most places to even READ IT...
Obviously you have not read Fox's Book of Martyrs.. it is online for FREE...
Sad, isn't it Quix? Sigh.
Read Hebrews 8. Sufficiently protected for fruitful edification...yeah right. What a crock.
