This illustration is a visual "roast" that summarizes the Calvinist critique of Catholic doctrine using the metaphors from our conversation. Here’s a breakdown of the key elements:
The Two Foundations: In the center, a massive, glowing rock labeled "CHRIST" represents the true foundation of the church. This contrasts with the "Counterfeit Throne" on the left, which is surrounded by skulls and piles of money, representing the "pay-to-pray" indulgence system.
The Characters:
On the left, a bold figure (representing the Reformer/David Martinez) wields the "Sword of the Spirit/Word of God," which is literally on fire.
James stands behind him holding a scroll, referencing Acts 15 where James (not Peter) issues the final decree, debunking the idea of a supreme Papacy.
On the right, a figure dressed in papal regalia is depicted as a "Spiritual Zombie." This is a literal take on Total Depravity—the idea that without God's grace, humans are spiritually dead.
The Background Scenery:
The "Highway to Heresy" sign points toward a crumbling stone bridge leading to a "Beastly Vatican Circus" tent, illustrating the claim that Rome’s traditions lead away from biblical truth.
A banner reads "Funeral for Logic," mocking the "typology" argument used to link King David to the Pope.
The Theology: The speech bubbles and signs—like "Sola Scriptura" and "Christ’s Blood Alone Saves"—reiterate the "Five Solas" of the Reformation. The image captures the "shock-jock" energy by portraying the conflict as a vivid, cosmic battle between biblical truth and "vampire theology."
Would you like me to create another image focusing specifically on the "TULIP" acronym and how each flower "crushes" a different Catholic tradition?
