Receiving the Word with humilty
Now then we see that God will have his word received with like humility when he sends men to declare his commandments, as if he himself were among them. The doctrine that is set forth in the name of God, ought to have as much authority [in the mouth of a man] as if all the Angels of Heaven came down to us, or as if God showed His majesty presently before our eyes. Yes and it is the thing wherein he will try the obedience of our faith. True it is that we ought to use good discretion when men speak. For if we should receive all that is put to us there should be no difference between liars and false prophets who seduce our souls and the true ministers of God. But if we have sure warrant that the thing which is bought us proceeds of God, it is certain that any who make any resistance in this case does not make war against a creature but manifestly withstand God, who will be heard when he speaks so by men and serves his turn by them as by his instrument. [John Calvin]
About
Nothing much to tell. I’m walking a single solitary pilgrims walk, in England, that is not an easy one. I am a Calvinistic Covenanter Christian, My Autonomic Nervous system is failing slowly, which has led to severe disability, with an ultra rare disease than medics don’t even understand, often misdiagnose.and will no doubt kill me at some point. But, I trust the Lord to get me where I’m going. All glory to HIM.
The symptomology listed on the link, most porphyrics will only have most of those symptoms if in an acute attack. A few of us, with the ongoing, smouldering symptoms, that never go away, have most if not all of the symptom list, even when not in an acute attack, and are persistent and constant. Anyone who has ever been in the psychiactric system, diagnosed as this or that, even if physically well, should consider this illness could be responsible. King George III, the most famous porphyric, his sole symptom was “insanity.” Its so rare in part, because it’s massively under-diagnosed. But in making this illness known, when it struck me physically a few years ago, God vindicated me from every mis-diagnoses and bersmirchment upon me medically that has ever been made, and has made them all null and void.
