In writings generally and not just in religious writings, for there to be a paradox there needs to be either a real contradiction or an apparent contradiction. What is contained in the Westminster Confession and other universally agreed upon statements of faith (e.g., The Apostles' Creed) is not a paradox but a defense of a presupposition; namely, the Bible is God's Word, and its authority derives ultimately from God. Interestingly, Peter considered the "prophetic message" as contained in the Tanakh's Law, Prophets, and Writings to be on a par or even superior to his own eyewitness testimony! Peter, in my opinion, was not just being modest in his apparent discounting of his testimony as an eyewitness but was simply reflecting the confidence which Jews at the time had in the Tanakh. Yes, the Westminster Confession of Faith answers this apparent, but not real, circularity as follows. In Chapter 1 Paragraph 5, we read: So we have the prophetic word made more sure, to which you do well to pay attention as to a lamp shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star arises in your hearts. But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God (2 Peter 1:19-21 NASB, my emphasis). Therefore, beloved, since you look for these things, be diligent to be found by Him in peace, spotless and blameless, and regard the patience of our Lord as salvation; just as also our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given him, wrote to you, as also in all his letters, speaking in them of these things, in which are some things hard to understand, which the untaught and unstable distort, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction (2 Peter 3:14-16 NASB, my emphasis).

To say there is an inherent paradox in Chapter I, Article IV of the Westminster Confession (hereafter, WC) is simply not accurate. He said that the UN had failed to prevent previous genocides against the Tutsis in Rwanda, Muslims in Bosnia, the Yazidi in Iraqi Kurdistan and the Rohingya in Myanmar and wrote: “High Commissioner we are failing again. I am open to the opportunities that November brings. I embrace change with grace and optimism, knowing that every challenge is an opportunity for growth and transformation." The PowerNotes Content Management System also has an option for generating Bluebook-style citations. It does Bluebook a bit better than Zotero, but its citations are not perfect either. If you want them to be correct, you have to fix them. Table 2 has rules for citing sources from selected foreign jurisdictions. It is no longer in the print version of the Bluebook, but it is freely available online.For secondary sources like law review articles and books, if you want to cite a source that you cited longer ago in your paper than the previous footnote, you can use supra. There are other divine revelations that are not in the Biblical canon, and are still the word of God. A few examples of non-canonical words of God are the prophetic utterances in the congregational worship of the New Testament church, the prophetic office during the Israelite theocracy when the words were not recorded, some of the Mosaic case law, and the primordial revelation that predated Moses but allowed people like Seth, Enoch, Noah, and Shem to live in fellowship with God. All of this material is "lost" to us, according to the plan of God, because its significance was not for us. Like the canon itself, these revelations did not depend upon the canon to affirm them. The only reason they are not a part of the Reformed system of doctrine that we don't have them. False teachers arose in the first century AD within years of Christ's ascension, but faithful teachers, preachers, translators, copyists, church councils (and much later, printers!) then made sure that subsequent generations of Christians would have a faithfully transmitted copy of God's precious and eternal Word. This process does not involve paradox or circular reasoning; it's just the way

WE DENY that the Scriptures receive their authority from the Church, tradition, or any other human source. Take a moment for yourself, find a quiet and comfortable space, and let us guide you towards a heart full of thanksgiving. This October, let's cultivate gratitude together.

Footnote #8: See Neuer, supra note 6, at 9-11 (describing how establishing term limits for judges in Germany has instilled more confidence in that country's judiciary). Beginning prior to Loving vs. Virginia, AFFIRMED traverses San Francisco and the South, exploring three generations of family evolution. AFFIRMED is not a politically correct memoir. It is not the expression of a tragedy. AFFIRMED is so much more. It is a courageous outpouring of a heart that beats to the tune of the current racial climate, yet honors a legacy of ancestry. Brutally honest, each lesson confronts the intersections of identity, conformity, tradition and heritage in a manner that exposes the strengths of choice in a changing world.

We must not forget at this point, however, that God was at work through his Holy Spirit in the early days of the church in the dual processes of the inspiration of his Word and the preservation of his Word. In a sense, what God did by first providing and preserving his Word in the Tanakh, he simply repeated by inspiring and preserving his Word in the New Testament writings. Reaction to Mokhiber’s outspoken departure from such a prominent UN position was mixed. Louis Charbonneau, the UN director at Human Rights Watch, told the Guardian that he had made a powerful argument against double standards in the stance of the world body. As we step into November, I want us to focus on the beauty of change and the spirit of gratitude. Remember to appreciate the small moments in life. Stay focused on your goals, and understand that every challenge is an opportunity for growth. Always Radiate positivity and kindness to everyone you encounter,because you never know who you’re entertaining. Know that your presence can make a positive impact, so stay resilient, stay grateful, and cherish the journey. Footnote #12: But see id. at 227-30 (outlining Mbapp é's argument thatconstitutional court judges should alsobe trained in areas other than law). We may be moved and induced by the testimony of the Church to an high and reverent esteem of the Holy Scripture. And the heavenliness of the matter, the efficacy of the doctrine, the majesty of the style, the consent of all the parts, the scope of the whole (which is, to give all glory to God), the full discovery it makes of the only way of man's salvation, the many other incomparable excellencies, and the entire perfection thereof, are arguments whereby it does abundantly evidence itself to be the Word of God: yet notwithstanding, our full persuasion and assurance of the infallible truth and divine authority thereof, is from the inward work of the Holy Spirit bearing witness by and with the Word in our hearts.

What has been given short shrift in the WC is the role and instrumentality of the writers of Scripture, who because they were, in large part, prophets (in the Tanakh) and apostles (in the New Testament), the books which found their way into the canon of Scripture did so because they were recognized by literate Jews and Christians to be the Word of God, and not just the word of men. I release all worries and fears, allowing peace to flow through me. I trust in the journey of my life, knowing that I am guided and supported by God." Rules for citing non-print sources, including internet and other electronic sources: Rule 18 (p. 174) In addition to establishing formal courses of study in Christian spirituality and Ignatian discernment, Elizabeth has authored and co-authored several highly affirmed books on spiritual disciplines including Way of Discernment: Spiritual Practices for Decision Making and Soul of Discernment: A Spiritual Practice for Communities and Institutions. In his role as director of the New York office of the high commissioner for human rights, he has come under occasional fire from pro-Israeli groups for his comments on social media. He was criticised for posting support of the boycott, divest, sanctions (BDS) movement and accusing Israel of apartheid – an accusation which he repeated in his retirement letter.
