I strenuously object to the notion put forward that the "Roman Catholic Christ" is a "false Christ" and is lumped in with cults.
The Catholics can stick up for themselves, no doubt, and if this thread lasts for any length of time, you'll deserve what you get from them.

As I read the article Catholicism is not lumped in with the cults.
***There is, however, another false Christ who is much more dangerous than the Christ of the cults and the Christ of Roman Catholicism.***
and again..
***This Christ will have nothing to do with the Christ of the cults and the Christ of Roman Catholicism.***
To be sure Catholicism receives harsh treatment, but no harsher than Arminianism which is Protestant.
Catholics, Arminians and Calvinists affirm the Nicean creed. When the Worldwide Church of God embraced the Trinity they were embraced by the NAE (National Association of Evangelicals) and were no longer considered a cult by mainstream evangelicalism. The Nicean creed is not under discussion here.
This thread is a Calvinism - Arminianism thread primarily. Catholicism and Arminians are closer on the issues mentioned than are Calvinists and Arminians.

Don't strain too hard. That the Roman Catholic Church is an apostate group is a position held by the Reformed for centuries. The pretty much hold the same view of us. They pretty much stay out of our threads as we pretty much stay out of theirs.
So, let the Catholics 'stick up for themselves' if they feel it necessary, but I doubt most of them feel threatened by this article.
