Really? Interesting. I thought most Baptists believed in PSA. I don't really care for any of the Protestant atonement theories.

I used to think Calvin was worse than Luther. I still believe Calvinism is worse than Lutheranism, but I think Calvin and Luther were equally reprehensible.

With that I can agree.

I'm not sure what you're trying to say.

Slavery was evil, and so is abortion. But killing others in the name of Jesus is on another level.

I'm not buying the 'products of their time' thing. The Anabaptists and Baptists were of the same time, yet they didn't murder others for their religious beliefs, or lack thereof.

I'm thankful for the Protestant Reformation in some ways, but not in others. Were Calvin and Luther saved? Can you be an unrepentant murderer and be saved? Because that's what they were. They and their followers threw off a corrupt and murderous RCC only to become murderers themselves...

Thanks. :)

Thanks!

I'm not so sure, but thanks! :)

Glad to be here. I'm a Baptist but have diverse views.
