gotribe,

With all respect, now is not the time for sweet talk.

I believe you are being led into a typical RC trap here. Do we deny the Word of God in the name of the very misunderstood Scriptural terms of "love" or "brotherhood"?

One may not forgive the RC for the murder of others. This might be possible if they had repented but their willingness to do so remains in their "books". Comparing the millions of torturous murders by the RC to the relatively few committed by the reformers is straining out a gnat and swallowing a camel.

We should not "temper" our arguments at the cost of truth.

"But they(the RCC) are carried away, blind and headlong, by one lust for dominion. For they think that nothing is safe unless, as the prophet says, they rule with harshness and with might. [Ezek 34:4]" Institutes 4-11-14

This by a man (Calvin) who had an RC hit squad out looking for him.
