The only “ism” I care about is biblicism. Beyond that, any of man’s constructs is dung.

Biblicism

The term "biblicism" is usually derogatory. It is commonly applied to (1) someone who has no appreciation for the importance of extrabiblical truth in theology, who denies the value of general or natural revelation, (2) those suspected of believing that Scripture is a "textbook" of science, or philosophy, politics, ethics, economics, aesthetics, church government, etc., (3) those who have no respect for confessions, creeds, and past theologians, who insist on ignoring these and going back to the Bible to build up their doctrinal formulations from scratch, (4) those who employ a "proof texting" method, rather than trying to see Scripture texts in their historical, cultural, logical, and literary contexts. (Poythress)

Which one best describes your view?

Wow! This explains much about yourself. - Little of anything you have ever posted here seems to have any connection to God's word, and the above statement surely explains why.
