567. God has given us brains to think for ourselves. We do not need Help to understand Scripture.

I doubt that any reformer ever thought the above. In fact, they considered humans to be fallen creatures and in need of serious help.

569. Any man who can think has the moral right to interpret anything.

Again, it ignores the reformers understanding of fallen humanity, and simply doesn't sound like how they would word such a comment.

571. I don't see the need of learning to understand a simple story for simple people.

To repeat, this simply doesn't sound like the reformers, who were all considerably educated men. All of them would affirm the biblical principle of study. These few I've pulled out are indicative of heartburn I have with a lot on the above list. I consider them caricatures (at very best) of what I believe.
