That is what the entirety of the commands were accordin to christ
and, I don't wanna be petty but capitalize His pronouns and names
Ok, I apologise
I'm reformed man
''to love God and to love others''
this is extremely extremely vague
what does it mean to love?
What are acts of love?
Can an unpleasurable act be out of love?
I'm talking about the greatest commandment man
And that commandment has a meaning
Yes
thing is, many can interpret it many ways
which is why we have Eccumenial Councils
Obviously man, for brevity I am summarising heavily here
That's the thing I despise about sola scriptura
it degenerates and causes schisms in theology everywhere, ultimately making ethics completely relative
Sorry
But how
the denial of a single Truth
So you're protestant, right?
I'm Reformed
so yeah
I think that man is born into sin
Man is unable to save himself
Jesus incarnated into human history in accordance with God the Father's plan from before time
sola fide
Tell me, how do the Reformed declare an interperation of scripture infallible?
In the reformed camp, the exegetical methodology is to interepret scripture in accordance with what else is said in scripture
So where something is vague, look at in context with what is said before and after it, along with other passages in scripture
But yeah, we also heavily follow the writings of Augustine, and his work on the sovereignty and grace of god
Along with of course Calvin
but what about declaring infallibility?
well scripture is infallible
Scripture is the inspired and authorative word of god
Everyting else is the work of mere men
Some of those dudes have a lot of insight
but they don't stand higher than scripture
Do you have a problem with biblical inerrancy?
