"THE NECESSITY OF REFORMING THE CHURCH"

Citing a known sodomite and murderer as proof the Church needed reforming is not going to gain you any street cred.

If you are self-appointed as one of the selected elite elect, making God beholden to you, then what need of street cred have you? You can say anything you want, regardless of whether it is lies, you can sin boldly, you can commit whatever deeds you wish 24 hours per day, and the Reformed limousine will still arrive and whisk you, and your family, and your pets to Reformed Heaven.

2 Peter 2: 1 1 There were also false prophets among the people, just as there will be false teachers among you, who will introduce destructive heresies and even deny the Master who ransomed them, bringing swift destruction on themselves. 2 Many will follow their licentious ways, and because of them the way of truth will be reviled. 3 In their greed they will exploit you with fabrications, but from of old their condemnation has not been idle and their destruction does not sleep.

And if you are one of the self-appointed selected elite elect, you may pray to yourself and thank yourself that you are not Catholic and therefore are exempt from petitioning God for mercy. (see Luke 18 for the words of Christ that the Reformed are exempt from)

Rome lies. Rome has always lied. When one discards the Scriptures, that's all that remains.

"If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.

But all these things will they do unto you for my name's sake, because they know not him that sent me." -- John 15:20-21


"It goeth well with the Godly, because they triumph gloriously before God and His angels in all injuries which they suffer...Those persecutions which we must suffer for the testimony of the gospel are remnants of the sufferings of Christ." -- John Calvin, Acts II.115.

Wow, you sound like a Democrat working on the Coons campaign, or perhaps a CBS employee up in Alaska.
