The trouble is that the Holy Spirit Himself is an extra-Biblical authority as much as a Pope or Council. The third Person of the Trinity is clearly not identical with the truths He has expressed, through human authors, in the Bible. It follows that even if Calvin’s Proposition D is true, it contradicts Proposition B, for "if all revealed truth is to be found in the 66 books," then that leaves no room for the Holy Spirit to reveal directly and non-verbally one truth which cannot be found in any passage of those books, namely, the fact that each one of them is inspired.
Two problems with this diatribe...
The first is that your church ignores the very scripture that warns us to stay away from people who try to understand the scripture with an intellectual, philosophical view...
Col 2:8 Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men, after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ.
The second is that the bible is a Spiritual book...It's a Holy Spirit book...It is out of reach for intellectual philosophers...
When people say the Holy Spirit leads them to understand the scripture, you just don't get it...Spiritual and logical just don't jive...
Luk 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures,
Rom 8:16 The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
How, do you think, the verses you posted relate to what the author wrote?

Just a quick question to clarify your point - do you believe our Intellect is a gift from God? If yes, do you believe logic is an ability of our Intellect? If yes, what is the proper role of logic in our lives, and in respect to Scripture?
Reading your posts on various threads I can see you have a sincere love for Christ and that I doubt you believe He would endow us with gifts and then expect us to not use them. I realize I might be making some presumptions in this post - if any are wrong, please correct me.
