Well actually, all of Protestantism is a heresy. As the brilliant English essayist Hillaire Belloc puts it, unlike other heresies, “Protestantism spawned a cluster of heresies” Everyone and their grandmother gets to interpret Scripture (books that were assembled by the early Church Fathers in AD 382).
Thus you can attend any of the for foursquare Protestant Churches in a city block and each of them depending on who is the pastor/pastoress will offer their own interpretation of Scripture. Eventually, a congregant can migrate from one First Baptist etc to the another First Calvary etc until he/she finds what is most comfortable with his/her beliefs and thus finally settles at First Emmnuel.
In short, we have as many beliefs as there are people who think they can crack open the pages of the Bible and offer their own brand of nonsensical interpretations such as the likes of the Billy Grahams, Joel Osteens, Rev. Jeremiah Wrights, Jim Jones, David Koresh, Cleflo Dollar; Jimmy Swagger, Benny Hinn, the Moonies etc.
I wonder sometime why these folks don’t simply get their “own” Bible and give it their “own” confusing and conflicting interpretation.
Of course, there are then those pre-eminent Lutheran and other such Episcopalian theologians and scholars who have seen the light of day and converted to Catholicism. The rest of the untutored Bible Christians keep wallowing in the shallow end of the theological pool. Take them to the deep end and they drown. Thus, like the Appalachian “Christian” snake handlers, the works of Augustine, Aquinas, Newman and Benedict all go over their head.
Jesus is the way, truth and light. Noone gets to heaven except through HIM. Praying to Mary or Saints is worthless and unchristian. Worshipping the church itself is just stupid.
