9. The transmission of the law is to be trusted

“Certain rascals bawl out in corners in order to display the keenness of their wit in assailing God’s truth”.  Calvin is critical of those who do not trust the Old Testament law and doubt the existence of Moses.  He does not appreciate those who doubt Moses but have no problem with Aristotle or Cicero.  In our time many will regard politicians as speaking the entire truth, revealed in social media or believe what they read on the Internet verbatim without applying any criticism or critical thought.  The quality of the words we read in the Bible is their enduring nature – they have sustained Christian believers for centuries, often when those people are facing persecution and extreme trial.  What would you trust the most- the Word of God articulated in the Bible or your nest Twitter Feed?
