Misquoting Is Misleading
That we can find some overlap on concepts with other divines is clear. But this does NOT mean they share entirely the same conclusions on every nuance and distinction. So, that we must differentiate between them and their whole body of doctrine and not merely those thoughts which overlap. Taking quotations, then, out of their broader context can be misleading and easily misconstrued. It is a regular and consistent practice on social media and can be a source of indigestion of the mind, especially as a proof text. Proof texting in context is not the same thing as just noted.

The Development Of Doctrine
The development or propagation of doctrine was always two-fold; it was to combat false teaching and teachers while at the same time instructing the saints, the elect of God; believers, those chosen from before the foundation of the world, and then called out to be the congregation to which instruction in the truth is to be made.

The Everlasting Covenant Fulfilled In Time
Abel offered a more excellent sacrifice than Cain... Heb. 11:4 which was a type and shadow of the Mediatorial and imputational work of Jesus Christ. A continuing theme beginning in Gen. 3:15 and immediately following when the LORD God clothed his parents with coats of animal skin. Surely the same honor would be bestowed upon Noah who found grace in the eyes of the LORD, and is said to have walked with God, another illustration we find, both, before and after the fulness of time, indicating a significant work upon his heart and the

On The Gospel
Whether repentance is a doctrine of the law or of the gospel? the answer to which is, that such who sin ought to repent of sin; this God has commanded, the law of nature teaches; and so far as this is to be considered as a duty incumbent on men, it belongs to the law, as all duty does; but then the law makes no account of repentance for sin; nor does it admit of it as a satisfaction for it; nor gives any encouragement to expect that God will receive repenting sinners into his grace and favor upon it;

John Gill By George Ella
Speaks for itself. I no longer read many books and am very selective as to what I will read. And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs. 10The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright words of truth. 11The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd. 12And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.
