It's really difficult to speak about Protestantism as a whole in detail because there are so many differing and contradictory beliefs within the group. The only unifying principle I can find is anti-Catholicism. Other than that, they continually splinter and splinter into different, arguing...

Boettner's claims are not legitimate at all. His work, from an academic standpoint, is unsustainable. No true scholar gives him any credit.

So, you're going to use an anti-Catholic .pdf from Lorraine Boettner to try to make your point? LOL Lorraine Boettner has been proven a fake long ago. His book is full of lies and errors. Here are some articles that discuss some of his claims...

The Catholic Church is the original Church founded by Christ. St. Ignatius of Antioch, the bishop of Antioch ordained by St. Peter, was captured by the Romans. While they were transporting him to be martyred for the faith, he wrote a letter to the Smyrnaeans around 107-110 A.D., referring to the...

LOL The New Testament was written by Catholics. All the Apostles and the Early Church were Catholic. There was no other Church. The Orthodox splintered off in 1054 A.D. and Protestantism didn't begin until the 16th century, begun by rogue Catholics. It was the Catholic Church that decided...

If Calvin had the interpretation intended by the authors, he would have remained Catholic and held to the interpretation intended by those authors. The fact that he changed the interpretation indicates that he was holding to his own personal interpretation, not that of the authors of Scripture...

Never, ever buy an electric vehicle. At some point, you will have to replace the rechargeable batteries which are only good for so many recharges. When that happens, it will cost you a small fortune! And that's besides all the other problems like limited mileage and the long time it takes to...

True. But there are two choices, as I see it. One can either believe what the writers of the Bible, inspired by God, believe it means, or one can believe whatever one personally wants it to mean. Anything that varies from the original interpretation of God's Word is personal interpretation...

This is not new. The Marxists have been targeting the U.S. for decades. They had a very effective plan which included the following: 1. Undermine the morals of the country. An immoral people is easier to enslave than a moral people. 2. Destroy or throttle Christianity. (Part of 1 above...

Calvinism is just Calvin's personal interpretation of Scripture.

LOL. Our failed educational system strikes again.

amigo, slight aside... Is English your first language? I'm not sure I'm completely understanding all that you posted. My question for you, then, is: Did Christ establish a Church or a Bible to spread His truths? Keep in mind that the vast, vast majority of humans were illiterate until the...

So, you think you're Jesus? Or is it just that I don't believe in your personal interpretation of Scripture? I believe in the interpretation of Scripture intended by the original writers and the Apostles. If there is anything I believe that you think is in opposition to Scripture, rest...

So, you can't answer my question? Or is it that you don't want to answer my question?

The Catholic Church was, by far, the original (and only) Church founded by Christ. It wasn't a denomination because there were no others. Then, in 1054 A.D., the Orthodox splintered off, but retained Apostolic Succession and, therefore, all seven Sacraments. Protestantism didn't begin until...

Yes. They believed God's Word...delivered to them how? The Bible wasn't written yet. How did they get God's Word?

Really? What did the first Christians believe, since they didn't have a Bible? How did they learn about Jesus? The vast majority of them couldn't read anyway. Remind me, in the Bible, where Jesus gave anyone a book as their guide? Oh, wait! I know! Jesus waited 16 centuries until more...

One does. The original one. The Catholic Church. Otherwise, we have absolutely no certitude of truth whatsoever. All we have are lots of personal opinions. Do you think that's what Christ left us? Or do you think He left us with a sure way to know the entirety of His truths that He...

Hey, PS95! The oral teachings were the oral teachings of Christ to the Apostles, who passed them on to their successors, the bishops. It is these oral teaching from which the New Testament was written. Jesus didn't write a book. He taught orally. We have, in our modern mind, lots of stuff...

For what you posted to be true, had to have been no Church until the 16th century when Protestants showed up on the scene. (Actually, they were Catholics who broke away from the Church.) And, suddenly, mankind was lifted out of darkness to the fullness of truth by one of the thousands (and...
