When did reformed theology become greater than the Word of God?

When did reformed theology become greater than the Word of God?

It didn't become greater in importance than the word of God.
Do you have some points of ref'-theo' that chaff you ?

Listen to any Evangelical preacher/teacher and they will put their beliefs above the Word of God every time.
If you cannot understand that you are just as corrupt in your theology turning your beliefs into the word of God.

I understand that, and agree with you on the corruption they espouse.

If you cannot understand that you are just as corrupt in your theology turning your beliefs into the word of God.

I was just wondering what exactly provoked you to start this thread.

Macca...What is it about reformed theology that you don't like ?

Ok, let's start with "healing is not in the atonement " this is classed as the normal state in Christianity and "healing is in the atonement " is heresy.

I suppose "that which is healed" is in question.
While the atonement of Jesus Christ won't make all your tooth cavities disappear, it will heal one's soul.

That's the argument from the side that holds that healing is not in the atonement.
They claim that if it were, it would be just as common to see tooth cavities disappear as it is to see sins forgiven.

To them, it would seem, that if healing is in the atonement, the rarity of cavities being completely healed would indicate the rarity of sins actually being forgiven.

The place to start, if there really is some argument, is "What healing are we talking about ?"

Jesus didn't die to heal us from tooth aches or cancer.

It is a strawman argument.

Agreed.
