The Catholics are coming, RUN FOR YOUR LIFE!! Hide your bible!! BOO!!!!!
Luther and Calvin had been indoctrinated by, and steeped in Roman catholicism all their lives. De-programming takes time."
ROFLOL!! Please!! This is such a lame excuse. They changed every other thing they could think of. THEY WERE NO BETTER. Both of them established STATE religions. That was the way things were done then. There was no penicillin either or novocaine or heart transplants. It was a different time.
"But God is patient, and as events unfolded, it is clear that he considered it more needful to reform his church back to the origional theological doctrines first."
Did you make this up in your head?
"As long as America's Constitution and Bill of Rights are upheld, we will have nothing to fear from tyrants who falsely teach their "faithful" that the infallible Word of God is a "dangerous" book, and refuses to retract its official denial of religious freedom and what it considers to be its right to use violence to force people to accept its doctrines, just has in the past."
Good because I would not want to live under Calvinism either or under the KKK.
"The only thing that prevents it from enforcing its religion on the world, is absolute political power."
All evil comes from the Catholic Church? Sneer. I am sorry but this deserves derision. It is such a shallow view of history.
"....just like they hate the true God and his infallible Word, the closed canon of Scripture."
Well that was so inspiring. Now let's all go out and burn a cross on someone's lawn. Oh wait, it was the Protestants of the KKK who did that and in America, land of the free! And against Blacks and Jews and Catholics. What was THAT all about? You know when my grandparents first moved to the south in the 20's they did not let it be known that they were Catholics. It was something you just did not broadcast around. They were worried about the KKK. And European Catholics and Jews were herded into shanty towns and ghettos to live in poverty. They were not received well by the WASPS that were there first. How many Catholic president's have we had? ONE! Prejudice? We know he had to assure the public that he would not let the pope run the country. (Such a stupid thing to even consider but that's the fear some backward people had.)
All I am saying is, there is plenty of blame to go around.
You must have been so distracted by your snorting that you missed some very important points I made earlier. It is only because the Calvinists respect Sola Scriptura so much that they drew up America's founding documents to guarantee that you wouldn't have to live under "Calvinism".
