I trust what Scripture says of itself, that it is divine, just like you trust atheistic scholars or the Greek Church

I will agree that scholars of the Greek Church are "atheists" if you agree that the Reformed are deceived by Satan. How's that?

I am not interested in your prejudices. Keep them to yourself.

You believe the presuppositions of atheists and mystics. I believe the presupposition of God himself

Presumptuous, aren't you? You can't prove that. You are spouting your own convictions as "facts." You have no proof whatsoever that you even know God. And is that sentence not an oxymoron? Does God presuppose? You are tripping over Reformed verbosity because it makes them sound "smarter."

When I read Scripture I see the face of God and when you read Scripture you see backward fools

You not only assume that your visions are genuine, but you claim to know what I see. Next thing you'll tell me is what I had for dinner...is that what they teach you in the Reformed lecture halls they call "churches?"

Reformationals are consciously Trinitarian (not the subordianist type of the Greeks)

How are Greeks "subordainst?" That is a term usually applied to those cults that subordinate the Son and the Holy Spirit to the Father, such as Arians. Surely you are not implying such nonsense?

Revealing himself to the puny categories of the human mind is condescending to the almighty.

If He did, that was His decision. He wanted it. You are outdoing yourself.

You also call yourself "Reformed," yet your description of the "human element" in the Bible is not what your Reformed co-believers on these Forums proclaim. But, then again, given the unending buffet of Protestant innovations, it is perfectly possible to be something no one else is and use the same label.

Contrary to your description here, the Reformed on these Forums do have Creeds and, in fact, quote the Westminster Confession ad nauseum.

But, hey, if you say you are Reformed, so be it. Why not? Each Reformed is his own "pope." It's a man-made, feel-good religion, that feeds one's ego and pride and self-righteousness to the point where some will even arrogate themselves the "powers" of knowing what others see.

Food? Just a guess.
