His doctrine was not new, just a stripped down version of his Catholic faith. This included the doctrine of salvation. While his words seemed to imply one thing, the remainder of his words, as well as his deeds revealed another.<br />This is a facet of the Reformation which doesn't receive its due attention.

France helped with money, weapons and ammunition, soldiers and ships to the American colonies. Many famous French men like Marquis de Lafayette became an officer for the American military force. He was also one of the closest friends of George Washington. The friendship of America and France was bounded by respect for the same beliefs.Seo Servicehttp://www.seoofindia.com/seo_services.htmlnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1237087217187172116.post-27298293411978278072010-02-14T03:54:01.646-07:002010-02-14T03:54:01.646-07:00Irreducible complexities or intelligence.

The Reformation truly undermined any and all human religious authority to define, by its own rules, man’s relationship with God.><BR/><BR/>This is an incorrect statement.

Inerrancy is supreme, which teaches Grace through faith.<BR/><BR/>Yes, the Enlightenment was a more secular movement, but this does not mean it was not influenced by the Reformation.><BR/><BR/>If the Bible is supreme in everything, it is IMPOSSIBLE for enlightenment rationalism to have ANY influence on the reformation.<BR/><BR/>I get the point.

I could post many quotes by Calvin, Luther, and Zwingli hammering unitarianism, but you get the point.<BR/><BR/>Likewise Mormonism is a movement within the reformed Protestant tradition.><BR/><BR/>How Blasphemus!

Of course, when you abstractionize things like you do, and mush them up into "principles," and ignore specifics, then every thing is sorta like everything else, in that all things are things and therein lies the similarity, blah, blah, blah.<BR/><BR/>John Lofton, Editor<BR/><BR/>TheAmericanView.com<BR/><BR/>Recovering Republican<BR/><BR/>JLof@aol.comJohn Lofton, Recovering Republicanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15687524008871521220noreply@blogger.com
