Reformation Still On

There have been those in the last 20 years or so who have pushed that the reformation is all but over. With a push by Chuck Colson and others , the Evangelicals and Catholics together movement has made  some to believe we are all one big family. However once you look at the central differences , one will come to the conclusion , unless you are willing to surrender any pursuit of truth in matters of doctrine, the gap still exist as wide as ever.

The  5 sola's of the reformation still stand in complete contrast to all central Catholic understanding of those matters. No we need to continue to defend the gospel , hold to the what was started in the reformation and carry the torch still . Many may be confused because when some say I believe in Jesus , well that settles it . But the Mormons , Jehovah Witnesses say as much , yet most realize they do not believe in the Jesus of the Bible. Well in a real way neither does the Catholic Church in matters pertaining to Jesus Christ being our only reason for salvation. It Jesus plus works , its salvation found within the Church , Marian dogma, praying to saints , the mass , the treasury of merit , the Pope .

Now granted many Catholics are saved despite the doctrines of the Church. They believe it is only Christ that saves and secures but within its system , many are deceived and in the dark . It is another gospel . The reformation insistence  on scripture alone , by faith alone , by grace alone , in Christ alone and to the glory of God alone still needs to proclaimed . so may we look back to stand form as we move into the future.
