Then you might stop worshiping it.

The Holy Spirit inspired all the original men who wrote the original tracts. But we’ve had all manner of folks involved including the monarch of England. Now there are some here who rail on about the Church being a political structure. Imagine, if you would, the mindset of people who fled religious persecution in England, only to kowtow and genuflect to not only the political translation of the Bible known as the KJV, but also the Westminster Confession.

Can you image the minset of people who would willingly agree to slavishly follow such an abominable text as a religioius one commissioned, bought and paid for by the English Government; followed by one very similar from the Scottish Parliament.

We follow the Creed created by the Church of Jesus Christ. Reformed follow one not only of men, but of foreign governments as well. One might question the Reformed theological sanity simply on those grounds, and not only on the dozens of theological contradictions and non sequiturs compiled by men such as Calvin and Luther.

Only if you can imagine a people slavishly following a human Pope and a church made of fallible men.

Never started, so that is an impossible task.

***The Holy Spirit inspired all the original men who wrote the original tracts. ***

Do you really think that the Holy Spirit stopped at that point and didn’t continue to inspire? Do you really think the HS no longer has an interest in preserving the purity of the scripture? That he doesn’t continue to work in the hearts of men to maintain the word of God so that all may worship in purity and truth?
