Your pardon; I had thought that you professed allegiance to the OPC rather than simply church hopped as the whim struck you. Very well, then. I stand corrected.
***Some churches perceive God’s grace more clearly than others, as these threads attest.***
True. Some churches follow foreign government sanctioned doctrines of men. And some pretty strange doctrines at that. I mean just imagine the silliness at leaving England to pursue religious freedom and then slavishly following the religious doctrines commissioned, bought and paid for by that same government.
***I’ve sent Mark to the Westminster Confession of Faith, but sadly, he does not see the splendor of its Scriptural foundation.***
Any Scriptural foundation of the WCF is twisted and warped to the point where it is unrecognizable to Christians. I suppose that I’ve been concentrating more on the offensiveness of its unChristian theology.
***Any church that adheres to the Bible cannot go too far astray.***
There are a bunch of Bible only churches such as the Worldwide Church of God that are totally asea.
***So we preach the Gospel as God has commanded.***
Reformed apologists quote mostly Paul and the OT.
And if that was true it would be bad because ....... ?
In terms of God's TRUTH, are some parts of God's word more true than others?
But of course your original statement isn't true at all. It is only your reasonable perception from personal experience. When we Reformers practice apologetics with Apostolics we frequently quote from Paul and the OT because THAT'S where many of the disagreements are. Apostolics generally don't "like" Paul because he so often trashes your Tradition. So, we back up our objections with Paul.
In addition, Apostolics don't generally "like" the OT because they think it portrays a God that doesn't fit the Church's model. "God is love and nothing more" (by human definition) and that sort of thing. So, to illustrate the FULL revelation of God to man, we quote from the OT. Now, if you observed Reformers practicing apologetics with atheists, then you would see us quoting from the Gospels every bit as much as you ever would yourselves.
ALL scripture is God's TRUTH.
