    And it's just like you saying Calvinists are anti sola scriptura per your unfounded accusation. Prove your case as well.

    I will say it over again so you understand it.
    When a poster posts from any one source as his authority, (and continues to do so more than the Bible) whether it be a creed, commentary or Institute, then that document has become his authority, and not the Word of God. He has denied the authority of Scripture and has replaced it with the authority of a man.

    Your arrogance is against the rules.
    You have lost the debate before you have even started.

    That's nice and is also unfounded as well. We've been through this, and you've accused me of this, until you found out that I've never made such claims nor have I alluded to any of these by your own admittance.

    Now, go prove your case that Calvinists are anti sola scriptura without your OTHER unfounded diversions.

    I can find examples of this on the board. You know I can. When it happens then those that do it have forsaken their position of sola scriptura. That is my stand. I need not to say any more on it.

    Then go find them. You've accused, go prove it, otherwise your accusations will remain mere accusations and will also remain unfounded.

    I simply cannot understand the vitriol I'm seeing here.

    I used to enjoy coming here. Now, not so much.

    This has nothing to do with using Scripture. Everyone on this board considers Scripture the final authority, the golden standard. What about you? One day you are hammering Arminians, and the next, Calvinists. That is called the wishy washy middle. Those who do not take a stand, stand for nothing. And your judgment gave me an infraction?

    Exactly. Not one poster has posted any source as his or her authority over and above Scripture.

    You are good at context, maybe one of the best on this board. Basically, I think you are respected by posters on both sides of an issue, especially Calvin-free will debates. At the start of most any Bible, there is an article that tells "how to read the Bible."

    First, assume there is one interpretation. There may be many, but only one is correct. To achieve this, the following has worked for me.

    1. Focus on the word or verse, its meaning, translation, etc.
    2. See how the word relates to other words in the verse, such as conjunctions and interjections.
    3. Find the context of the chapter, book and Bible.
    4. Finally, one must consider the culture, history, and geography.

    I looked on your profile. You have no infractions. Don't you ever let anything go?
