hilarious! Semper reformanda translates as “always being reformed” which is a good descriptio of the sola crowd, always rewriting scripture to their own image!

Nobody is rewriting Scripture. We read it as written. We don't amend it by calling some made up teaching *tradition* to justify adding something to the written Word of God that wasn't there in the first place.

Hilarious...

"Semper reformanda" refers to the fact that the church of Jesus Christ on earth is always being tested, burnished by the need to declare the truth against errors and that God's word is worth defending from the many superstitious assaults men love to inject into their worship.

As the Westminster Confession of Faith reminds us...

CHAPTER 25
Of the Chruch

V. The purest Churches under heaven are subject both to mixture and error;[10] and some have so degenerated, as to become no Churches of Christ, but synagogues of Satan.[11] Nevertheless, there shall be always a Church on earth to worship God according to His will.[12]
