  • Marian Beliefs: Biblical or Unbiblical

    Catholics and Orthodox have Marian theologies which are unbiblical. They give Mary reverence, hyper-veneration, create icons, paintings, sculptures, and processionals for her.

  • Faith Alone: The Cornerstone of The Reformation

    Justification by faith alone (Sola Fide) is the lynchpin of the Protestant Reformation. It will stand or fall on the basis of this doctrine. The essence of Sola Fide is the teaching that we are not saved by the merits of any of our good works, but rather we are saved on the merits of…

  • The Sufficiency of Scripture

    Both Catholics and Orthodox deny the perspicuity and sufficiency of Scripture alone. Scripture is divinely inspired, the New Testament authors wrote under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. We Reformed affirm Sola Scriptura (Scripture alone). This ensures the true gospel is not obscured. We recognize the perspicuity and total sufficiency of Scripture. Scripture is the…
