WCF 1.10 The supreme judge by which all controversies of religion are to be determined, and all decrees of councils, opinions of ancient writers, doctrines of men, and private spirits, are to be examined; and in whose sentence we are to rest; can be no other but the Holy Spirit speaking in Scripture.
What is the final court of appeal, the judge, the answer to all controversies and disagreements about religion?
What is the standard by which the decrees of Christian councils can be judged?
How can you discern if ancient writers like Augustine or Plato speak truth or if they are humanistic like Marx or Darwin? How do you know if Marx or Darwin are humanistic and not godly?
Is there truth in what your elders, your father, your mother, your brother, your sister, or your neighbour has been sharing with you?
When a man says that the Holy Spirit has revealed a certain passage of Scripture unto him, how do we know that he is not mistaken?
All of these are to be examined and inspected and compared to the Scriptures. Only the Word of God, the whole counsel of God, the Holy Scripture is the standard by which we may compare all things. Any man who says anything contrary to what God has said is against God and a lier.
How do you know what God has said? By reading his Word and asking God to show you the fullness of his Word.
James 1:5 - If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
