While these exposures and practices deaden the soul and endanger the maturation of the mind, there is still a far deeper monster out there called sexual abuse.

The second myth is that the Reformers wanted each individual Christian to read the Bible on his own and interpret the Bible on his own. Thirdly, that the Reformers invented the idea of predestination. Fourth, is that when the Reformers broke from Rome, they broke free from liturgical worship.
