To: roamer_1; Dr. Eckleburg; caww; OLD REGGIE; D-fendr
Roamer_1: I have often said that Protestants did not protest enough.

This is because the latest generation Protestant groupings feel that the earlier groupings like the second gen Presbyterians and the sixth gen Pentecostals didn't protest enough.

This ties in to Dr. E's point :did not stop the Reformation with Luther. He continued to reform the church then, as He does today --> So,Dr. E, you can leave the OPC and join Roamer's group as they have progressed further in protesting.
after the first generation Lutherans and ANglicans,
you had the second generation Presbyterians,
then the third generation Anabaptists,
the fourth generation BAptists and Unitarians,
the fifth generation Seventh Day Adventists and Mormons and Presbyterian-conservationists,
the sixth generation Christian Scientists, Pentecostals, Jehovah's Witnesses, the
seventh generation like Machen's OPC and other sub-sects of the Mormons, Seventh Day Adventists etc.,
the eigth generation like the Bible Presbyterian C and the Scientologists and more extreme Mormons.
Great going! It isn't God who directed this level to go down to Scientology and Mormonism..

And Roamer says "Protestants did not protest enough. " --> so all Protestant groupings who celebrate the Lords Day on Sunday are wrong as per what I can gather he's saying. Congratulations -- next step generation 9 of the Protestant groupings -- Raëlism!

WHy do you think your list of heretics, that DENY Sola Scriptura should be connected with Those who believe in the bible alone?

I would think that there is a closer connection with Rome in that they all require some form of "Tradition" to interpret the scripture.

I chuckled a bit after seeing the assertion that these 3 were supposedly connected.

Mormons: Founder Joe Smith a treasure seeker in PA found huge glasses that could read his tablets, written in reformed hierogliphics, offcourse upon examination in court, experts testify that "scribbles" were not a language and there is no such thing as reformed egyptian. Believes in polytheism.

Scientology: Basically the comic book stories of Elron Hubard sold as reality. Not sure he even believes in a deity.

Jehovah's witnesses. Arianism with a make over, brought to us by Charles taze Russel who used to sell "miracle wheat" to his dupes.

You have just highlighted the “Curse of protestantism”; It is continuously fracturing at breath neck speed. Now well over 30,000 discrete entities and growing. The house churches are not able to form cohesive units since all can exercise their prideful and sinful interpretations. The Holy Spirit must be perplexed in determining those in who He will indwell.

God bless.
