"Calvin's 'theologian of the Holy Spirit' side is showing here, let us shield and protect you from it..."


Are modern Reformed seminaries turning out anything other than shallow dopes and deists? Look how desperately they attempt to 'teach' their minions 'just what' Calvin 'actually' meant when Calvin wrote anything that is above their shallow understanding.

Again, Calvin was a bare foot mystic compared to these suit and tie wearing academics. They enter their seminaries having no life experience and no experience with influences above their favorite movies and t.v. shows and exit them full of shallow understanding of Calvinist doctrine fed them by shallow unself-aware deists.

Look how the one in the link fumbles around with the phrase *psychologized self-awareness.* He has no clue what he's talking about. He's read the term self-awareness (actually, he's probably been reading my blog), and has done some google searching and thinks he's 'got it down' with the word 'psychologized.' As if self-awareness means (at least what he 'thinks' self-awareness means) a solely mental activity or realization or state.

God forbid this scholar ever comes across the term 'microcosmos' in Calvin (or some Puritan like Thomas Watson). He's going to have to disconnect the Renaissance (first he'll have to learn how to spell it) from the Reformation and the reformers.

And, because when they read this they won't see it: there is a connection between self-awareness and the term microcosmos and knowledge of God. Put down your ice cream. Put down your latest 'pugilistic deist', angry sacramentalist manifesto from R. Scott Clark, and engage the Word of God as if it is something above you and that you *receive*; then walk in the Spirit and stop getting embarrassed and being obsequious to your inane, lukewarm tribe of shallow academic pastors and professors. Fear God alone, it is the beginning of wisdom.
