Reformed Churchmen

We are Confessional Calvinists and a Prayer Book Church-people. In 2012, we remembered the 350th anniversary of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer; also, we remembered the 450th anniversary of John Jewel's sober, scholarly, and Reformed "An Apology of the Church of England." In 2013, we remembered the publication of the "Heidelberg Catechism" and the influence of Reformed theologians in England, including Heinrich Bullinger's Decades. For 2014: Tyndale's NT translation. For 2015, John Roger, Rowland Taylor and Bishop John Hooper's martyrdom, burned at the stakes. Books of the month.

Re: Fwd: Posting and Domination

Mr. Turner:I don't recall condemning anyone. What I said was that Anglo-Catholicism preaches another Gospel. Since this is the policy of your blog, I will be posting your e-mail to me to notify others.

There is nothing in the policy about posting answers to points raised. All of my comments have been scholarly and to the point. Even in my comments to the transexual, which you seem to think is a "Christian", I clearly pointed out that the Bible forbids self-mutilation and that God creates men as men and women as women. Do you really think God makes mistakes?

Sadly, VirtueOnline and the new province you are so proud of is simply another liberal church which preaches another gospel and has no idea whatsoever what Scripture teaches.

I do not compromise. Roman Catholics, Anglo-Catholics, and the Eastern Orthodox are condemned in the 39 Articles as "in error." While I do not have the authority to judge where souls spend eternity, I do have the right to condemn false doctrine and I will continue to do so. However, I do thank you for admitting that you are biased in favor of heresy, which only confirms that VirtueOnline is apostate and sworn to uphold a false gospel. I for one am not intimidated by your false authority. If anything, you have only made me even more determined to sound the alarm and preach against AC-NA and your website.

Again, thanks for the heads up.Sincerely,Charlie
