It is strange how the Protestants claim that they follow Scripture. Yet, their doctrines contradict Scripture directly.
For instance, the Westminister Confession of Faith (WCF) says:
CHAPTER I
OF THE HOLY SCRIPTURES
VII. All things in Scripture are not alike plain in themselves, nor alike clear unto all: yet those things which are necessary to be known, believed, and observed for salvation are so clearly propounded, and opened in some place of Scripture or other, that not only the learned, but the unlearned, in a due use of the ordinary means, may attain unto a sufficient understanding of them
Let's compare that to Scripture:
2 Peter 3:16 As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.
The WCF says that the unlearned will sufficiently understand all doctrines which are important unto salvation.
2 Pet 3:16 says that the unlearned will not understand and interpret them to their own destruction. Presumably, unto eternal damnation. Which means that the things which they misunderstood were important for their salvation.
That seems a clear contradiction.
Which do you believe? Scripture or the WCF?
