Re: “I love the Bible. I love Sola Scriptura.”

Brother, I have not seen such a powerful defense for Sola Scriptura, in a while. Thank you so much! Greatly blessed by it!

John Calvin wrote, "Our wisdom, in so far as it ought to be deemed true and solid Wisdom, consists almost entirely of two parts: the knowledge of God and of ourselves." How can we seek such wisdom apart from the word of God? Where else can the glorious truths of God's Holiness and man's depravity be seen? Scripture and Scripture ALONE can give us this wisdom - this knowledge which is sufficient for all that we must do on this side of eternity.

You're absolutely right that by extension being lukewarm about Sola Scriptura is effectively the same as heresy. Once sufficiency is destroyed, we lose the great joy from Scripture, so we manufacture all the other entertainment that is so prevalent today.

Thank you so much, bro...very powerful post. It is full of prophetic insight into modern churchianity and I hear that passionate call from the wilderness to return to real Christianity! I am so thankful to God that He would raise you up in His sovereignty to call the sheep to their first Shepherd.

Praying for you bro - God bless!

I agree too. I'm far more concerned about his false "Christianity" too...just that for someone like him, it's surprising that he even holds the label "calvinist".

Regardless, I agree...he would never say such marvelous words as Wesley did (who I know well not to be a Calvinist). He would dare not address his listeners with a "Sinners, you are monsters. MONSTERS OF INIQUITY", as Wesley once said.

Yes, it is sad...especially that he may even have 20 million deceived souls watching him. We must pray...

I am wondering: How can Robert Schuller call himself a Calvinist? From everything he said, he seemed overwhelmingly Arminian - especially with his open belief that preachers mustn't preach harsh things in the Bible for fear of driving non-believers away. A true Calvinist could never say that and most God-centered Arminians couldn't either.

Would you agree with me that Schuller's is a false profession of Calvinism?
