Yeah, and I am alarmed to see how much the bad doctrine of professing Christianity gives them cover.

(I don't write off all Campbellites, Wesleyans, and RCs, but I would point out that Reformed believers would never fall into the trap of contempt which the three liberals in the article have displayed for the Cross of Christ.)

I know plenty of Reformists and Calvinists (including churches I've attended) that do no think the Crucifix is an appropriate symbol of Christianity because it denotes the suffering of Christ instead of the joy of the Resurrection. I view it as a symbol of atonement, yet I had a slew (9 or 10) Baptists at my former place of employment that objected to having a small 3 inch crucifix beside my computer because they felt it was glorifiying His suffering.

And if they did, you'd say they weren't "Reformed believers" anymore, giving yourself a clever little "out" you didn't allow the rest of us in your little bashfest.

Incidentally, the PCUSA used to be a whole church full of "Reformed believers". Some of them are now into worshipping "Sophia" (who?) and others of them think abortion and homosexual perversion are just variant forms of Christian expression. But, since they aren't "Reformed believers" anymore, you don't have to apologize for them.

Incidentally, where I come from, Crossan is an apostate. Even identifying him as a "Roman Catholic" is sick. The guy outright denies the resurrection, among many other things. That he is still on faculty at DePaul just goes to prove that DePaul is not a Catholic school.
