Oh, so suddenly you’re so sensitive? Look to your own sins, friend.

I’m afraid that after years of defending evangelicals to my liberal friends (because of the charm and humor of Jerry Falwell) FR taught me that you are very angry people with a complete hate-on towards Catholics. Sorry but if the shoe fits...

do not forget luther wasn’t only spewing harsh words at the jews, you should read what he said about his fellow Germans. just as bad.

i think being old and sick and frustrated that people kept voluntarily returning to legalism again and again wore him out.

Your thread title Protestant Chaos. History shows there was Chaos under Catholic church’s rule.
Doesn’t matter who Rome welcomed the fact is Catholic ruler expelled them and was still in good standing with Rome after.
Doesn’t matter who killed more what matters is Chaos happened under a Catholic ruler.

Again your thread is about Chaos and Protestant while Chaos happened even without Protestants under Catholic rulers.

You must have known this thread would bring up the Catholic faith bloody history. It is not free of Chaos.

As far as I’m concerned, people who seek to sow discord between Catholics and protestants are a long way from serving God

You are right. The Bible says so.

Mark 9:38-41
John 17:20-21
1 Peter 4:16
1 Corinthians 12:3-13.

Where in the Bible does it mention that the pope is infallible and has a direct line to God

what you bind on Earth shall be bound in Heaven, what you loose on Earth shall be loosed in Heaven....do you suppose that He would allow for error there???

You’re conflating the temporal with the eternal, anyway. A common mistake.

Jesus is the Head of the Body of Christ, which is made up of ALL Believers. He did not suffer, die, and rise from the grave to start a religion, or a denomination - those are merely human constructs. God started a family of children who are blessed with all spiritual blessings and Jesus’ joint heirs. Relationship with your Heavenly Father is far superior to anything religion could ever conjure.

Stop worrying about trivial earthly matters. Resist these devilish temptations to sow strife and division. Worship God the way he wants - in Spirit and Truth (John 4).

Nope...all these years on FR RF has toughened my hide pretty thick. The "very angry people" with "complete hate-on towards" anyone but Roman Catholics continue to post threads like these that have NO intention of fostering unity in Christ. I'd love to be able to celebrate our shared faith in the doctrines that have ALWAYS been those that bring us to the knowledge of our salvation, but I don't think threads like these should be allowed to go unchallenged. Why IS it that so many FRoman Catholics see any disagreements with their doctrines as "hate", much less "complete hate"? Might want to clean your own doorstep first.

Just because there is more than one church does not mean there is disorder or confusion.

Okay. Don’t celebrate or commemorate the event. No biggie.

We have, as Christians, bigger fish to fry.

The pagans of this world are denying the Creator, murdering babies, celebrating sodomy, forcing people into slavery to the state, and destroying freedom of religion—making the government the Sovereign to be obeyed. Lovers of Jesus, whether they are Roman, Eastern, or Protestant ought to hold hands in standing against such devilish statism.

“Just because there is more than one church does not mean there is disorder or confusion.”

Some support divorce, some support queers pretending to be married some support women in the pulpit, and others do not. That is rank disorder and confusion FRiend.

Everybody go & read post #18. Those are Luther’s Ninety Five Theses which he nailed to the doors of the cathedral at Wittenburg (not out of disrespect; the wooden doors served as a community bulletin board).

Never saw them written out before. Then again, I’m Catholic.

Martin Luther’s bagatelle with Rome was soon followed by the Thirty Years’ War. Most of what we now call Germany was exterminated in the fight over what the Communion Host really consists of.

Great to be alive, isn’t it?

So you believe that everyone must believe the same thing? and there should be one church?

Starting to sound like NAZI’s

The Catholic Church is the ark of salvation, the Body and Bride of Christ, and She alone has “the words of eternal life” (John 6:68). She is Christ in this world apart from Whom “no one comes to the Father” (John 14:6).


Wait a minute, you are purposely misquoting scripture.

John 14:6
 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me

No mention of the Catholic church there. The only way to salvation is Jesus Christ. He is the ark of salvation not some church created by man.

Knew there was something not quite biblical with this thread.
