Indeed, the conflict among most leaders at the Reformation certainly concerned freedom of the will, but were they arguing about what mattered most?<br /><br />I would rather ask, is the necessity of sacraments for salvation consistent with the character of the Lord we know? In fact, is the doctrine of eternal retributive suffering consistent with the character of Jesus? As for which leaders we should trust, Jesus told us in Matthew 7 how to recognize them. Who, at the time of the reformation, rose to that standard? Elijah did not hear God in the storm.Nathannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3752793.post-72727260651665460392016-05-23T19:47:12.517-05:002016-05-23T19:47:12.517-05:00Nice post. 😃
