Immaturity is what i've only done
And this includes glorying in my resources, it's not like a fully grown person to be endlessly going on about what those resources are, and not be delving into what they're saying. If I started talking like that, I don't know?? It might be tens of millions times worse than what I had been doing.
There needs to be an interior depth that is grown in silence and in privacy. I love sharing on here, but i've pretty much exhausted the limits of talking about the things, and until I can talk about what they're saying, which would give a sharper and clearer reason and purpose and vision of them, and for a way of being such as I so far lead, wouldn't match with that.
To say it as nicely as I can, I prefer being alone and not have to learn basic things that would make life with others more easy, i'd rather find "difficult" books to see if I can grow into them.
Why Reformed? Why not some other denomination? Those are questions I can only properly reply to when I progress a little further, but what I can say is as follows:
It's the best human written accompaniment to the book that they are all unanimously upholding as the only authority, but my thing expressed as I do it, puts the works of mere men in the spotlight, this is to define what I see as most valuable in all the writings since the Canon closed on a lil ilse of Patmos. I see the Puritans as towering over all merely human written Christian literature, I have heard of Augustine, and the early church fathers, and as a whole body of literature I would put BELOW the Puritans, but WITH the Puritans, they are to me so electrifying!! Tertullian and John Chrysostom with the aforementioned Augustine, all of the big ones like Origen and St. Anselm, the stuff they were getting into shaped what came later, and is not to be swept under a rug, the Puritans by the way quoted them liberally.
After the ECF's if I were doing an immature ranking you'd see a couple philosophers popping in to see if everything's alright, they're Soren Kierkegaard and Lev Shestov. Lev would call out to Blaise Pascal to come join in the party.
After Pascal tidies up before they all go to brunch, some Mystics drop by Teresa of Avila and John of the Cross, "What in the blazes happened here?" Teresa says all agog. John Owen stumbles out of his brewery and says "WHAT are you 2 doing here??!!" and the look in his eyes sends shivers down Johnny of the Cross, but Teresa gives a "we'll be seeing you" at the whole bunch of Reformed guys and Anne Dutton, Anne and Teresa have a terrifying stare down, when Erasmus and Luther get into an argument, and the general populace disperse into their study rooms to read and scratch themselves where it would be impolite to do so in public.
