Have you ever heard of a CONTRACT? I did my job until the contract expired, and walked out of there! They threatened to sue me to force me to stay, because we had some "verbal" plans about improving the science lab, and because the students liked me. But "verbal" agreements are not contracts, and I had notified the school back in January that I would not return the following year, so there was nothing they could do.
When do you think some Protestant
I am a Baptist, not a product of the reformation, and do not consider myself a "Protestant". You are right saying that Protestantism did not begin until the 16th century, but we Southern Baptists trace our spiritual roots to the first century church. You can disagree with me as much as you want, just please, don't call me Protestant.

Yes, and I would break one in a heartbeat if I thought my conscience was being violated...or if I thought statues were watching me.
“I am a Baptist, not a product of the reformation, and do not consider myself a “Protestant”.”
You’re one anyway. The Baptist sect was started in about 1600 and is MOST DEFINITELY a product of the Protestant Revolution, albeit a later development.
“You are right saying that Protestantism did not begin until the 16th century, but we Southern Baptists trace our spiritual roots to the first century church.”
Some do, some don’t. Fantasy Protestant histories created out of thin air don’t hold up to scrutiny even on the part of other Protestants. Read the Protestant historian James McGoldrick’s Baptist Successionism and you’ll know this to be irrefutable.
“You can disagree with me as much as you want, just please, don’t call me Protestant.”
Sorry, you’re a Protestant. If you can’t stand the word, then don’t belong to the sect.
