What does "Reformed" Christianity mean? Reformed from what into what? Thanks.
From Roman Catholic into Protestant.
But it specifically means the traditions formed during that time.
The Reformation began with Luther and turn Calvin shortly after when attempting to reform the Roman Catholic Church to stop selling indulgences and to embrace scripture's doctrine of free grace.
Here's an article if you're interested in more https://www.ligonier.org/learn/series/what-is-reformed-theology
I'll start.
Who's your favorite proto reformer and why is it Jan Hus?
Erasmus for me. He balanced a thirst for truth with humility and a passion for the unity of the Church.
Waldo and Wycliffe were good too.
If you're counting Augustine, then he'd be my favorite.
But if you're thinking closer to the actual reformation and people who really did try to bring some needed correction to the Roman Catholic Church, then yeah, I'd say Jan Hus. Although, I think he's the one I'm the most familiar with anyway.
To be honest, I only know of Hus because of Europa Unversalis IV. I asked mostly out of a joke.
Some people say it's wrong to ask/think certain questions. Satan didn't get to design any part of our brains, right? Why would God give us these curious insightful brains, but not want us to ask questions?
What kind of questions are you talking about?
I'm not so sure that Satan didn't get to design any part of our brains. In the fall, we are subject to the affects of sin - even our reasoning is affected by sin. So in some way at least, Satan has affected our brains. We are flawed in our thinking because of it.
However, it's not wrong to ask questions. It's good to ask questions. That's actually usually how I start evangelizing people. I ask them questions. And then I seek to try to get them to ask questions. Once people start asking questions - good questions... they realize that there's more to life than only what they can see with their eyes.
