For someone who claims to believe in sola scriptura and the perspicuity of Scripture, it is amazing to me how often you appeal to non-Scriptural sources. Apparently either Scripture is not enough, or Scripture is not clear enough. It needs the words of Calvin and the Calvinistic confessions and catechisms in order to be understood.

LOL. None of the Calvinistic confessions is anywhere near as long and convoluted as the RCC catechism.

And unlike the RCC catechism, everything I posted in my comment, including Calvin's comments and the Heidelberg Catechism, was predicated on Scripture.

Anyone who actually reads the post can see that.

We are called to study the word of God so that we can preach it correctly...

"Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

And their word will eat as doth a canker" -- 2 Timothy 2:15-17

If something isn't founded on the word of God, such as the Immaculate Conception, the Assumption of Mary, the praying to saints, the perpetual offering of the mass, purgatory, limbo, transubstantion, then it isn't worth very much at all.
