“Christian were forced to LEAVE..... that’s the point, they were not roforming anything, they were revolting against legitimate Catholic authority...they, as human beings have every right to do that, but don’t mistakenly call it a reformation....they reformed nothing and caused untold destruction including the loss of hundreds of millions of souls.”

They weren’t revolting against a “legitimate catholic authority”. They tried to reform the system by confronting a corrupt, sinful and entrenched catholic authority that refused to examine its heart.

It was the desire to reform a corrupt church which led to it being called the Reformation. You can call it whatever you want. I will refer to it as the Reformation.

“including the loss of hundreds of millions of souls”

Prove that one TC! ... though I remind you of your previous failure to provide any evidence, facts of proofs for your previous many claims. Until you do, it is just a silly statement.

Your argument is simplistic. And it is circular. Those points have been addresses. The “Reformation” was not everywhere the same, and it was certainly not wanted by the people of England. It was imposed by Henry VIII with great brutality.

I can't even prove that there is a God....but as far as your contention is concerned....to draw people away from the church that Jesus Christ, Himself, founded, and to have those lost souls increase to hundreds of millions over the centuries...cannot be a real good idea.
