("SAVED BY GRACE AND GRACE ALONE")
To: Gamecock
The Reformers had 5 main slogans, all using the word "SOLA," which is the Latin word for "ALONE."I haven't been able to find any verification of this, though I've tried and tried. Apparently the formulation of those Biblical truths into the Sola's is relatively recent.

The result - most of Europe was set ablaze with the biblical doctrines of grace. So what happened? The UK, Scandinavia, the Netherlands (to the worst possible extent), and Germany (not quite so much), are blazing, all right ... but that fire isn't "the biblical doctrines of grace," but a fire that comes from a totally different place.
Your "reformation" doesn't seem very healthy on its home turf anymore, does it? Instead of sending missionaries to convert Catholics in Latin America, maybe you need to be sending missionaries to convert the nominal Protestants in Amsterdam and London.

Not one word about this in church this morning, except what came from my mouth. Not pleased, but not surprised.
