Why curse the Reformation? The Reformation is not to blame for what Robert Schuller and his church have done. They are. The Protestant reformers preached the true Gospel: salvation by grace through faith; the virgin birth; Christ’s blood atonement; the fact that Jesus is both divine and human; and Jesus’ death, burial, resurrection, ascension, and return. They preached about the resurrection and judgment of believers and unbelievers, Heaven and Hell, holiness, the priesthood of the believer, etc. They didn’t preach tolerance and “positive Christianity,” as Robert Schuller has done and still does. In fact, they wouldn’t be allowed to preach in his church, because their preaching would offend a lot of people and make them feel uncomfortable.

The Reformation broke the discipline of dogma allowing for a floodgate of innumerable sects Calvinists, neo-Calvinists, Baptists, Reformed Churches, Lutherans, Seventh-Day Adventists; Quakers, Pentecostalists, Methodists, and the Schullers and their clan are simply the latter day iterations of what went before them using the new media to build a following of gullible congregations.
