Aug 26 Pastor John on What does it mean to be a Protestant? | part 1: Scripture alone
Ayin, You are correct, that the words "scripture alone" do not appear in the Bible; however, neither do the words "the church determines the canon" or "Papal infallibility" or "the assumption of the Virigin Mary" appear explicitly in scripture eith… continue reading »
Aug 25 Ayin on What does it mean to be a Protestant? | part 1: Scripture alone
I wonder if you could comment on the fact that "Sola Scriptura" isn't mentioned in the Bible. It seems that Catholics always use that arguement to prove that the Church is also authoritative. What do you say to them?… continue reading »

From: Chris
Subject: Sabbath
Hello,
I have been listening to your series on the law of God, and I am having great difficulty understanding the fourth commandment. I cannot find any Reformed books or online articles arguing for the position maintained in these podcasts. As far as I can tell, nearly all the Reformed and Presbyterian theologians hold to the Presbyterian view as maintained in the WLC 117. They argue both that because the fourth commandment is part of the moral law, and because the sabbath is grounded in God’s creation and redemption, the sabbath is morally binding for the Christian today. I am aware that my quick summary does no justice to their arguments, but I am sure you are familiar with them. How do you answer these arguments? Can you help me to better understand, biblically, why the view expressed in HC 103 is correct, and that of the WLC is not? Is there a good book to which you can direct me that explains this?
Thank you.
