AMPLIFIED 2015 | 2 John 1:7 ¶ For many deceivers [heretics, posing as Christians] have gone out into the world, those who do not acknowledge and confess the coming of Jesus Christ in the flesh (bodily form). This [person, the kind who does this] is the deceiver and the antichrist [that is, the antagonist of Christ]. |

Bible Note: Doc you said, “Ecumenism that teaches the worship of unity even at the cost of truth. That would put us back under the authority of priests and popes, with no apology or consideration of the hundreds of thousands who were killed and tortured for trying to put Bibles in the hands of common people.” While you did not mention the Reformation, from this description I think it was a fair assumption. However it was just that, an assumption, and if that isn't what you were referring to, I apologize. I did not write off Luther as a mere pawn I said he became a pawn of the power brokers of the time. The Reformation was about who was going to rule Roman or the autocracy. I hope your not saying the peasants were better off under serfdom. TV of any kind is not my perspective of Reformation, however having studied the Reformation for many years my perspective of what people perceive the Reformation to have been has changed as of late. I never realized the false information that is held by the general Protestant church in reference to the Reformation. Nor did I ever say you will never hear lousy theology on Catholic or any TV for that matter. In fact I would be surprised if the Catholic church didn’t have as many people talking through their hats as does the Protestant church. I will agree there are men on both sides of this issue that have a true and genuine love for the Lord. |
