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

And of course, the sola scriptura folks are always re-forming, that's how first you had lutherans, then calvinists, then Anabaptists and Unitarians, then Seventh Day Adventists and Mormons, then Christian Scientists and Jehowah's Witnesses, then the OPC and each day some new cult keeps popping up!

and of course, they keep re-writing scripture -- there's some sola scriptura guys here who claim that to read from the NIV is to be a heretic! And others who say their personal interpretation is correct -- a la Calvin!

Come on, Cronos, this is a cheap shot. Speaking of shot, better yet, it is like practicing marksmanship with one of those automatic rotary shotguns stuck on full automatic. You make a lot of noise, do a lot of damage, and achieve nothing constructive. And in the end you leave the impression on your targets - for one’s deeds either reinforce or contradict one’s words - that you could care less what the effect is, after all they’re just targets.
