Bible Question:
Here is an interesting comment I found from an unknown source. "the Reformation was just that: a reformation, not a complete return to biblical Christianity." Are you inclined to agree, or disagree with that comment? |
Bible Answer: I am inclined to disagree strongly. The Reformation sought to correct the errors of late medieval Roman Catholicism, not to completely scrap everything that the RCC believes. Like it or not, for milennia, the RCC was THE CHURCH in the West. Even with its errors, it is the vehicle God used to promote His gospel. The only other alternative is to conclude that the church disappeared off the face of the earth and re-appeared sometime after the Renaissance. The Reformation was just that: a reformation, returning the church to biblical Christianity. --Joe! |
