OK, I could have written that sentence better.
"And speaking of Rome, if it weren't for these Reformers who all believed in sovereign grace you we would all still be kissing the Pope's ring and bowing to statues of Mary."
A fair re-write. I owe them a great debt, even while I disagree with some of their theology.
I disagree with various reformers on their views of Mary, infant baptism, and others - but their courage and commitment to scripture is to be admired. At least, I do.
I still read Calvin’s commentaries, even while disagreeing at times.
