What? So, because you can bring up papal bulls that make YOU feel uncomfortable you think we should stop telling the truth about “Reformed believers”?

Oh, please!

Don’t you realize that many Protestant groups and Roman Catholic groups have the same secular goals? That as a Reformed believer, my entire denominations was based pretty much on anti-Roman Catholicism, but yet I am still more than willing to work with my fellow Christian brothers to spread God’s word? What truth are you talking about, that Reformed believers were subject to the Spanish Inquisition?

I had ancestors in the Netherlands under Spain in the north. They were subject to the Inquisition even though they were faithful Roman Catholics at the time, because the pope said it was good for that to happen.

Just be careful. There’s a lot of mud on both sides everyone can bring up, and there’s a bigger problem out there: Islam and other religions. We might not be sure of one another’s salvation, but we can be much more sure of the status of other religions’ final destination. Would you rather convert someone that already believes in Christ to Roman Catholicism, or convert someone we both agree is in danger of eternal damnation?
