In one of the main resurgence of Rome Catholicism mag... there was an article about 5 Protestant's returning to Rome. The main reason given was an inability to believe Sole Scriptura, that is Scripture alone as the final authority. If the Evangelical community keeps hacking away at the Authority, Honor, Integrity and life of Gods word, then this is only a taste of what is to come. My heart breaks for those 5 individuals and for Bickwith, It's as if were standing on the shores of the Red Sea, and some of the Israelites, in light of the Pressure want to turn again into Slavery.... This should be a warning for us who hold to Solo Scriptura, or the other four tenets of the Reformation... it's a slippery Slop back to Slavery...and it's not physical slavery but Spiritual, and the life and destinies of individuals are at stake, and most important the GLORY OF GOD, God is most satisfied in us when were most satisfied in Him, and the main way we know this God, is through His Word. God's word is a bulwark against sin, against false doctrine, against the lies of the devil. So if the church steps out from behind the Bible, there's no protection for her. This isn’t the 1st time I’ve heard about Evangelical leaders returning to Rome.
