To: Dr. Eckleburg
It "differs" in that I am doing the reading and thinking and comparing the words of Scripture to Scripture for myself with my own two eyes and ears.

Be not wise in thine own eyes: fear THE LORD, and depart from evil. Proverbs 3:7

The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. Proverbs 12:15

All the ways of a man are clean in his own eyes; but THE LORD weigheth the spirits. Proverbs 16:2

Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but THE LORD pondereth the hearts. Proverbs 21:2

There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness. Proverbs 30:12

Yeah, that's a real good plan you got there.

Do I always get it right? No.

But you certainly always *act* like you've got it right, so what's the difference?

I've known literally dozens and dozens of former Catholics who finally broke down and opened their Bibles and read them for themselves and were converted to the truth found in the Gospel that men are saved by God's grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone for God's glory alone.

And I've known literally hundreds of Bible-only types who are carried about by every wind of doctrine. It often takes a long time for these poor people to figure out the lack of spiritual power with Reformed traditions is endemic.

They have vanity plates on their cars that read "ELECT."
