No wonder Reformation theology is associated with the Swiss.

It’s as full of holes as their famous cheese!

Intelligent, thought-provoking comments are always welcome.

The author would do well to place far more faith in Romans Chapter 11 than his contrived contention.

The author manifests the same lack of faith which resulted in the some branches being broken off from the olive tree.

IMHO, I fear the Lord because I know how many times I might be equally as unfaithful in not realizing how incredibly great the Great Tribulation will be.

I’m skeptical it’s worthy the least bit of a meaningful response.

Not all Reformation theology is full of holes. It has some holes with regard to prophecy, predestination, and the method of baptism (infant baptiam and sprinkling), but there is much in Reformation theology that is good. It teaches salvation by grace through faith, the Trinity, Christ’s humanity and deity, the virgin birth, Christ’s blood atonement, the inerrancy of the Bible, making the Bible available to everyone (not just the clergy), a literal Second Coming of Christ, Christ’s resurrection and ascension, six literal days of creation, a global flood, etc.

And yes, Reformation theology also believes in free enterprise, limited government, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, etc. In other words, Reformation theology believes in the principles on which America was founded. The Reformation led to the founding of America. If it were not for people like Martin Luther, ordinary people like me would not have access to the Bible in our language. We would have to depend on the clergy to read and interpret the Bible for us.
