“From Barnes commentary”

Who said that Barnes is authoritative?

Let’s take a look at Barnes.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Albert_Barnes_(theologian)

“mostly due to the views he expressed in Notes on Romans (1835) of the imputation of the sin of Adam, original sin and the atonement;”

Presbyterian. So you’ve got a Presbyterian, someone from PC USA, an Anglican from the COE. Basically a grab bag of theologians. Who else have you got in your bag?

“Who said that Barnes is authoritative?”


And why, exactly, does he have to be? Do you think that you have the authority to remove words from the scripture to make them mean what you want? It doesn’t matter if you beat your chest about it. The phrase is “no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation,” not “No scripture is of any private interpretation.”

So much for the whole “We reed teh Bible two!”
