The Israel of God

The Reformation sprung alive from the plain and simple and literal truth of Scripture. And began to die as the reformers returned to the spiritualization of Augustine, declaring themselves “The Israel of God.” Like that Catholic “Father,” they had forgotten that His Kingdom is not of this world (Romans 14:17). And after “offending” millions had been slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held, the “Reformation” was little more than a schism within the papal order with Protestants building a new church on the ruins of the old.
