Fide Infidels wrote: John Calvin's Gospel: "Those to whom he is a Father, the Church must also be a mother." -John Calvin Faith + Church Attendance = Justification. Although Calvin is considered by many to be the purest adherent to the Gospel, Sola Fide, his desire to have an ecclesial body and requiring membership thereto for salvation blatantly violates his very premise. He's no Christian
It is fascinating to observe that the Roman Catholics cannot read or perceive truth, (or accurate theology) whether in Scripture, in the writings of theologians or in posts. It is as if truth is completely elusive to them.
But this of course is the difference made by true faith, the gift of God and the work of the Holy Spirit; - AND human intellectual assent to a religious set of notions.
Thus do we see the Roman Catholic worships dumb idols and follow a works based religion. These unBiblical practices are the emergence of pagan ignorance under the domain of iniquity in mortals.
The home-made religion of the Roman Catholics with a misguided smidgeon of Bible bits appears to satisfy the unlearned reprobate to the extent that he considers himself religious, and even saved.
Satan and sin have hoodwinked and deluded the Roman Catholics.
