I addressed this earlier, in fact you even replied to it.
Where did you address it, all I saw was the indulgences thing. Disagreeing with the Catholic Church on indulgences, is not a doctrine. You have not answered my question.You can't answer my question because your religion of YOPIOS can't even agree on a doctrine for the 7 questions of life above.

So then the catholic [universal] rejection of the doctrine of indulgences by Protestanta *ISN’T* a doctrine?
>>You have not answered my question.
Neither have you presented anything explaining the scriptures against your so called “essential unity” [or at leas casting doubt thereon] that I cited in post #242.

>You don’t even agree if Christ is God equal 100% to the Father.
Let me reiterate the words of Jesus Himself on the subject:
John 5:19
Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, THE SON CAN DO NOTHING OF HIMSELF, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
Also explain Paul’s observation about the “mind of Christ”:
Phil. 2:5-8
Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
Who, being in very nature God, DID NOT CONSIDER EQUALITY WITH GOD SOMETHING TO BE GRASPED, BUT MADE HIMSELF NOTHING, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
And being found in appearance as a man, HE HUMBLED HIMSELF AND BECAME OBEDIENT TO DEATH—even death on a cross!
How than can you claim that Jesus is equal to the Father when, as it is written, Jesus said that He [Jesus] could do nothing by Himself? Why do you, contrary to The Mind of Christ, consider equality with God something to be grasped? {If the goal of the Christian is to become more Christ-like, then this attitude should be ours too, no?}
