The Westminster Confession of Faith - ch 16, sect. 7
Works done by unregenerate men, although for the matter of them they may be things which God commands: and of good use both to themselves and others: yet, because they proceed not from an heart purified by faith; nore are done in a right manner, according to the Word; nor to a right end, the glory of God, they are therefore sinful, and cannot please God, or make a man meet to receive grace form God: and yet, their neghlect of them is more sinful and displeasing unto God
Practically, this then means that we as believers should not use any secular doctors or anything as it makes us part and parcel to sin. This is another red herring and error. You have mistakenly interpreted the WCF.
Joe, am I reading you correctly here? When Pam had cancer, you decided to not take her to the DR for tx?
Joe,
You previously said on 1/2/05:
Scott, I am apposed to much of what you've said simply because the mind is the soul.
Also, please examine the greek here in regards to 'heart, soul and mind". Apparently, they are different.
Mat 22:37 Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
