That's why I gave up on being Protestant. Of course the Evangelicals and the Lutherans don't like each other very much either. Both believe in Sola Scriptura.

Sola Scriptura has an implicit arrogance to it. Back in 2003 there were threads here about evangelicals wanting to send missionaries to Iraq.

Sure.

We need American evangelicals to bring some old time religion to an Iraqi Christian church that was founded by a Babylonian Jew who went to Jerusalem for Passover and stayed for Pentacost where he heard Peter preach about Jesus the Nazarene.

No one can fault the Protestants for their love of Jesus and the Bible, but ultimately their approach is like swearing allegence to the Constitution while denying the authority of the Supreme Court.

The kings of Israel were no less kings of Israel when they didn't honor G-d.

My old parish priest once honored the Reformation saying "we needed it," but I wonder why we still need it?
