Relatively few of the Reformed proofs result from the Bible - it is mostly from St. Paul’s corrections of straying congregations. I also find it interesting that you would entertain that idea that the Gospels are not the pinnacle of the Bible

Indeed. Herein lies the rub. Not only do we not even use the same canon, but they don't even treat the Gospels as the prism through which all that was written beocmes fully revealed. The Gospels are a living witness of God, not a revelation in a state of trans of some prophet.

Try reading the Westminster Confession of Faith. Every single line is proofed with Bible text.

Obviously does not concider anything the Bible except the 4 gospels.

I am grateful to you for the statement that you give them the Gospels and they give you the epistles in return. Even to the point of trumping the Gospels.

We understand that the Gospels are the pinnacle; the NT is to be viewed through the window of the Gospels and the OT is to be viewed through the window of the NT.

We are the followers of the Jews; they are our elder brethren and the chosen of God. I believe that I read a posting here somewhere that the LOTR was a good Reformed analogy; no - JRRT was a true blue Catholic and wrote the LOTR as a Catholic morality play. The Elves are analogous to the Jews. It’s just that we’ve been given God’s word version 2.0 and it’s up to us, now.
