What is reformed?

Just trying to be funny.

If you are talking about the ways of Jesus's Apostles they have always taught from the Apostles and always will. I hope I am understanding your question right?

The RCC dosn't have God given authority to canonize anybody and sainthood should is not limited to their discression. There is nowhere in scripture that positively identifies Mary from Magdala as a prostitute, adulterous or harlot. The wise men bore 3 gifts. There is no number given for how many wise men there were.

There is a lot that I probably do not know about the RCC, but I know enough to know that they are very corrupt.

Does reformed mean? Repurposed, rebuilt, Renewed or repentant? Why didn't some Church founders go back to the first century pre RCC basics rather than attempt to modify a broken system with more rules and humanistic traditions. Is the spirit of the law so ambiguous to some they must go back to serving the letter of the law, or worse yet compound the problem's by adding more laws?

Inquiring minds want to know.

I wonder how often are such things "said" so as to tell someone they are not of Christ and thus is why they do not understand the pointed one's posts?

That passage arrives from the Saint Apostle Paul who, three times in his epistles, stated he was bringing "his gospel" to those who received him. That which he said he was entrusted with, in the Book of 1st Timothy chapter 1.

Therein, as we are to use discernment and test the spirits, given man's involvement with compiling the canon over at least a 1,500 year period, as followers of Jesus the Christ, we must ask if one's gospel comports in the message with that said by Jesus prior.

The Book of John chapter 20 verses 30 and31
Now Jesus did many other signs in the presence of the disciples, which are not written in this book; but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.

The Book of John chapter 1 verses 1 through 51
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.

The reformation period took place in the 1500's. That is when men in the Catholic church began to form their own interpretation of the scriptures instead of accepting the dictatorship of the Roman Catholic church. The true church that Christ set up was never a part of the Roman Catholic church and had to go into hiding to keep the Roman Catholic church from wiping them out. The true church is neither Armenian or reformed.

Why didn't some Church founders go back to the first century pre RCC basics rather than attempt to modify a broken system with more rules and humanistic traditions.

Forgive me, I'm new to all this. My parents were Dutch Reformed but I don't know too much about it. Do we know where the true church is then?

I speak as a person that rejected the RCC and the Vatican over 47 years ago. I recon myself to be as a Gentile Circumcized of the heart and read the New Testament daily, as well as study and share with others from several translations at a time. I don't believe that any other inspired word of God has existed since the original texts that the New Testament came from. There are only two prophets comming... In the last days.

Thank you for sharing that.
I'm curious if you would please elaborate further? When you say this, "...two prophets comming... In the last days. " Whom would you be referring to?

Revelations 11:3And I will empower my two witnesses, and they will prophesy for 1,260 days, clothed in sackcloth.”
4These witnesses are the two olive trees and the two lampstands that stand before the Lord of the earth.a 5If anyone wants to harm them, fire proceeds from their mouths and devours their enemies. In this way, anyone who wants to harm them must be killed. 6These witnesses have power to shut the sky so that no rain will fall during the days of their prophecy, and power to turn the waters into blood and to strike the earth with every kind of plague as often as they wish.

7When the two witnesses have finished their testimony, the beast that comes up from the Abyss will wage war with them, and will overpower and kill them. 8Their bodies will lie in the street of the great city—figuratively called Sodom and Egypt—where their Lord was also crucified. 9For three and a half days all peoples and tribes and tongues and nations will view their bodies and will not permit them to be laid in a tomb. 10And those who dwell on the earth will gloat over them, and will celebrate and send each other gifts, because these two prophets had tormented them.

11But after the three and a half days, the breath of life from God entered the two witnesses, and they stood on their feet, and great fear fell upon those who saw them. 12And the witnesses heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Come up here.” And they went up to heaven in a cloud as their enemies watched them.

Thank you. I was aware of the passages that referred to witnesses. It was your use of prophets that had me quite curious.
I believe those two witnesses are to be Enoch and Elijah.
What say you brother?

Forgive me, I'm new to all this. My parents were Dutch Reformed but I don't know too much about it. Do we know where the true church is then?

In the Book of Acts chapter 2 you will read of the day of Pentecost arriving. That fulfilled this prophecy of Jesus found in the Book of Mark chapter 9 : 1. And he said to them, “Truly, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God after it has come with power.”

Read all of Acts 2 and you will find the church of Christ, the true church, are the Ekklesia. That is, the faithful in Christ. Also called, those in the "body of Christ".
The Fellowship of the Believers
42 And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. 43 And awe[d] came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. 44 And all who believed were together and had all things in common. 45 And they were selling their possessions and belongings and distributing the proceeds to all, as any had need. 46 And day by day, attending the temple together and breaking bread in their homes, they received their food with glad and generous hearts, 47 praising God and having favor with all the people. And the Lord added to their number day by day those who were being saved.

The Book of Acts chapter 20 tells us how this church came about. It was purchased with Christ's blood.
28 Pay careful attention to yourselves and to all the flock, in which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers, to care for the church of God.
Every member of the true church of Christ have their sins covered under that blood. Especially those that believe. Anyone that believes is a member of this church anywhere in the world.

The Book of John chapter 6 verses 48 through 51 I am the bread of life. 49Your ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness, yet they died. 50But here is the bread that comes down from heaven, which anyone may eat and not die. 51I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats this bread will live forever. This bread is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the world."
There the bread Jesus refers that which is in the human world essential for life; bread. Jesus is therefore telling us that He is essential for eternal life.
Interestingly, Jesus being born in Bethlehem in Judea which would be the area of the central West Bank of Palestine. Bethlehem is means, "House of Bread:. Fitting then that the Bread of Life, (Jesus) would be born in the House of Bread.
Bethlehem is also where King David was born and raised and as such Bethlehem eventually came to be known as, the City of David.
Jesus' mother Mary was a descendant of the line of king David, and in the Old Testament prophecy concerning Messiah, it was said that the Messiah would be of the line of David.

Beautiful how it all works out like one giant puzzle fit together with perfect pieces of prophecy and fulfillment.

Well, I sort of try and stay away from making decisions based on conjecture but I they are very likely the top two candidates.

The only true church are the children of God. It is not a denomination, it is not a building, it is the people. We are a house that God has built and is building.

That's what I said. Thanks.
