Razorback...just wanted to let you know, that I personally am appreciative of your lengthy posts...especially the very long post about Mary....it has always been very appalling to me, how some of my Catholic friends, when they speak about Mary, seem to elevate her, to the very same level as Jesus, an idea which I cannot find in the Bible at all...
I think your point about the wrongness of equating tradition, with what is actually said in the Bible, is spot on correct...
Some poster earlier called your posts silly....Hardly silly at all...they are very informative, and at least for me, have provided much to think about....most of the posts from most of the posters are thought provoking, ,but I find your posts to most closely conform to what I believe and what I believe the Bible teaches us....
I am also reading all the posts from the Catholic posters, just find, that I cannot and do not agree with them...I have not read much church history, or history of the various popes, or with biographies of those such as Luther, Calvin, etc...but I do read and study my Bible each and every day, and pray for the ability to glean the truth...
Just wanted to thank you for your posts...

Thanks. The main reason I post is so that readers of these kinds of threads, whether they agree or not, will be able to see the biblical Reformed prespective. Many of the denominations who are the heirs of the Protestant Reformation are turning their back on their history and the Bible as the only inerrant source of authority for faith and practice. But God has always had a faithful remnant, and will till Christ returns.
