"I think i have the newer version. #34."

The sad thing is that when these guys criticize the Magisterium it is not on principle because they all employ some cheap imitation of a Magisterium. Whether it is some undigested recitation of the Baltimore Catechism, an unholy nugget collected from an anti-Catholic website, a sermon given by their favorite preacher or a thesis written by a Reformer it is all only a rival authority. Even those who endlessly claim that their inspiration is only Scripture and the indwelling Holy Spirit to direct them offer up an unending stream of dubious sources and conflicting mystically arrived at opinions as "proof".

How many of these same people believe that educated opinions and advice are not necessary in constitutional law, architecture, transportation and aviation, legal defenses, tax strategy, medical necessity or even Information Technology? Their approach to theology is akin to "hey ya'll, watch this".
