So... I take it you don’t want to talk about it...?

The Church may bear witness to what she received from the apostles as law, but this is not giving authority to that law but humbly recognizing the authority which rightfully belongs to it whether the Church recognizes it or not. The puzzle which some people fall into here is something like mistaking the relative "authority" of the guide-post and the road; the guide-post may point us to the right road but it does not give its rightness to the road. It has not "determined" the road--it is the road that has "determined" the guide-post; and unless the road goes of itself to its destination the guide-post has no power to determine its direction.

Good read. For us non-lawyers "the Truth is the Truth whether someone recognizes it or not."

Accepting Scripture as inspired and the rule of your faith places a church in a secondary position.

Excellent writing on the subject. I’m saving it to a file. Thanks.
