Bible Note: Would it be better if everyone were Roman Catholic, since then we would all believe alike? I would think accuracy of doctrine would be preferable to unity of doctrine. I.e., truth is more important than all of us believing the same thing, whether it be truth or error. Is Catholic religious doctrine more Scriptural and biblically sound than what Protestants believe? Is there so little difference between Roman Catholic doctrine and evangelical doctrine? Is the evangelical doctrine of salvation by faith in the atoning death of Jesus Christ through personal conversion of secondary importance? Is the authority of Scripture AND of the Catholic church to be preferred above the authority of Scripture only? Is ritual more important than preaching? Moreover, the idea that there was universal agreement in the Catholic church before the reformation sounds like Catholic mythology. History indicates otherwise. Ed, I don't mean to be critical, but it sounds like you're implying that the Protestant Reformation was evil, destructive, and undesirable -- that we'd all be better off if only we had remained faithful to the Roman Catholic church. I do not post any of this to be argumentative. I only wish to understand where you are coming from. Grace and peace to you, my friend! kalos |
