Unitarians are not protestants, they believe and everything and nothing.

Unitarianism was formulated by friends of Martin Luther using Luther's invention of "sola scriptura" and their flawed conclusions should serve as a reminder of just how flawed the employed method is.

Has it escaped your notice that EVERY group to come along in the last 500 years and call themselves Christian has based a significant portion of what they believe on an interpretation of the Bible? How can they reach so many different conclusions?

"How can they reach so many different conclusions?"

There is no authority within Protestantism. Each is free to interpret Scripture for themselves and the standard is that the have to "feel" it is right. That has resulted in the establishment of tens of thousands of denominations founded each by its own alter pontiff. The only glaring inconsistency to this is the Protestant denial of the right and ability of Catholics to receive the direction of the Holy Spirit because we seek the input of those guided by the Holy Spirit who came before.

Unitarians don't believe the bible. How is that the fault of Sola Scriptura? Unless you think that grouping all the major world religions under one unitarian tent is prescribed in scripture? VERY BIG Staw Man.

There are different conclusions among RCC on various minor issues, So What?

Most protestants who have not liberalized believe in Salvation by Faith alone Thru Christ Alone.

Considering we dont see an office higher than Overseer, the biblical prescription, we have Christ as our head, we will not have structure like the Papacy with Cardinals and Arch Bishops. So, it appears to you, because we do not have a highly structured organization that we are THEOLOGICALLY fragmented into 30,000 denoms. We see NO NEED to agree on MINOR issues, Minor issues are not part of Salvation. Just like the Church of the FIRST 200 years, We are many churches loosley connected with NO Head But JESUS.

IF there are over 25 protestant theological families with SERIOUS differences I would be surprised! The evangelical Baptist, Presbyterian, Arminian, Reformed, dispensationalist, covenantalist are My Brothers in the Lord! We all believe in salvation by Grace thru Faith Alone!

When we ALL get to Heaven, the Lord can fill us in on the minor issues, if we even care at that point.

This is by far the most unique "history" of Unitarianism I have seen in my entire life.

I am certain you can supply some links and/or documentation. Pleasee do so.
