It's just that I prefer to read in Latin. LOL

I'm about half-way through reading The Institutes for the third time, and I have to admit that I really have no true understanding of what he tried to say. (It has always taken me about a month to read through it.)

A "Christian" who can (will?) admit that they may not have interpreted the Bible correctly is as rare as hen's teeth.

He, he, he...… "We are never obligated to follow leaders that preach false doctrine." And how do we declare that we know what this "False Doctrine" is? It's simple. We are positive that, fundamentally, OUR interpretation of the Bible is infallible. LOL

I don't care too much, one way or another, about this fight you guys brought over here (except that I do think Calvin was a power hungry fanatic), but you are absolutely right in this specific point. You never even came close to saying the things Owen chose to read into that post.

You posted "We are not God." But, therein has been a major part of the pride that has been plaguing us since Adam...… "We WANT to be God." It shows up in ALL of us wanting to declare judgement on others.
