The truth does not depend upon any belief, it is the truth. However, the fact is that the number of true Reformed believers are declining rapidly in the United States and even more rapidly in the rest of the world. Is PCUSA Reformed? No. Is the Anglican Church Reformed? No. Where are the Puritans?
We have established that there are more Catholics than Protestants in Switzerland. Now we see the Pope collecting what remains of Christianity in Britain back into the Church. That is the truth. The Truth that Jesus Christ gave to us nearly 2000 years ago and has been passed down to us through the Apostles.
Many are called but few are chosen Mark, the crowd yelled crucify Him.. So even if Dr E and I meet alone in a phone booth Christ will be there..
I see that you have self identified yet again. Maybe Christ will be there to watch the show with beer and popcorn and a lounge chair. Will there be a pentagram in your phone booth?
The three of us will be a crowd.
No doubt. I see that you are presuming for the Lord once again.
Rom 11:5 Even so then at this present time also there is a remnant according to the election of grace.
And you have self identified as one of the remnant. The arrogance of the children of the Reformation do not sit well with the Beatitudes.
Catholics do not even know what the beatitudes even teach, so I would be surprised if you did Mark
Your fever dreams are incorrect, Mark. Reformed Presbyterians, Baptists, Anglicans, Methodists and Congregationalists are all growing mightily.
We'll pause while you cite the numbers for the OPC, but please check out the numbers for the Presbyterian Church in America which is growing throughout the US and the world.
Last week I also posted a link showing that by 2022, Brazil will be predominantly Protestant, due to the tremendous current shift away from Roman Catholicism towards Pentecostal and Reformed faith.
Rome is fading, closing parochial schools and seminaries all over the country. Rome's singular increase comes from immigration from a few South American countries, Italy, Spain and Portugal.
The rest of the world is turning from Rome to the light of the Gospel.
No other religion in the United States has lost more members to other faiths, or to no faith at all, than Catholicism, according to the new survey released by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. The survey, conducted in 2007, found that 31 percent of Americans were raised Catholic, but less than 25 per cent of them still identify as Catholic... In the marketplace of American faith, Catholicism is the big loser.
And Rome would be in an even worse situation without illegal immigration propping up its membership rolls.
