If Julius had been smarter he would have kept the Reformed churches under his control?
If the above were true I would still find myself looking at the Reformed/Roman Catholics from the outside. While I do believe Calvin has a great deal right during the current Church Age, I do not believe his systematic theology fits all dispensations. Also, unlike my Reformed friends as an Evangelical Christian I don't believe Creeds, or Councils, are binding.
Thanks for posting this Gamecock. It is thought provoking how institutional Christianity could be so different today based on the political calculations of it's leaders.
RE: I don’t believe Creeds, or Councils, are binding.
Surely you don’t have any objections to either the Apostle’s Creed or the Nicene Creed.
