Tsk. The PROTESTANT REFORMATION was about REFORMING the ROMAN CATHOLIC Church. The REFORMED are not ROMAN Catholic.. (but we ARE small “c” catholic in the sense that the word “catholic” means universal.)

Just because the Roman Catholic Church embraces Amillenialism, does not mean that Amillenialism is unbiblical.

The Roman Catholics also embrace the doctrine of the Trinity..does that mean that the doctrine of the Trinity is unbiblical? I would not think so.

The Roman Catholic Church embraces MANY doctrines that the Protestant Church has historically also embraced.

Just because ONE denomination may advocate a certain doctrine, does NOT mean that that specific teaching MUST be unbiblical.

This is true of Amillenialism, as well as many other viewpoints that the Church Universal has ALWAYS embraced.

We who are Reformed may NOT always agree with the Roman Catholic Church, and we most certainly do NOT agree in the area of Soteriology, or Sola Scriptura or, well.. many other things..but we do agree with them when any doctrine (IE. The Trinity) can be shown to be Biblical.

Amillenialism can be shown to be grounded in the Bible. You don’t believe this to be true? Fine. Listen to Dr. Riddlebargers series (referenced above), or read his book on Amillenialism. He gives good and sufficient reasons, demonstrating that Amillenialism IS Scripturally based, and BIBLICAL through and through. If you do listen to the series, or read the book, you may even be led to change your mind regarding Amillenialism.

I don’t need to listen to Riddlebarger, I’ve heard it from many others just as adamant about it as he is. Luther, Zwingli, and the Reformed did not “come out of Babylon” far enough. In my opinion and in the opinion of many evangelicals; you folks came out dragging Romanist things with you...such as their Amillennialism.
