BTW, I read through part of your list of refutations, and the first ten “refutations” have mostly to do with a disagreement over dates when the practices began, which is irrelevant to me.

Basically, answering the question “is it biblical” should be sufficient as to whether it SHOULD be practiced by the faithful.

And thanks for introducing me to the word “calumnious.” I had to look it up.
