Which book of the OT or NT is the book of Descartes? Philosophers are not a substitute for the Bible. Please show me quotes from Scripture. Thanks

It's right next to the book of Calvin. Contrary to what many Calvinists would have you believe, Calvinism is not equal to either the Bible or the Gospel.

To ignore the work product of the greatest minds in history is to impoverish yourself.

Men who were far more intelligent, learned, and holy than I--and I presume, most of us here--have left us a rich legacy of exegisis.

In other words, some of them understood the Bible and its implications far, far better than you or I ever could on our own, even if we had a thousand years to study it.

A refusal to take advantage of their work is...blind.
