you mean Reformatting day.
Isn't it time for your cult to split again over whether to eat muffins before or after the scones?
You have the first generation namely Lutheran sticking close to orthodoxy with the Lutherans holding to the True Presence in the Eucharist, to Baptismal regeneration etc.
- Generation 2: Then you have the Calvin-Zwingli crowd rejecting these two as well as other aspects of orthodoxy
- Generation 3: Knox and the Anglican compromise
- Generation 4: The Unitarians like Michael Servetus who went from being Catholic to Lutheran to Reformed to denying the Trinity.
- Generation 5: the Baptists who now rejected infant baptism (quite unlike their namesakes the Anabaptists (now called Mennonites)) and said that there was a great Apostasy in the first centuries of Christendom (Gen 1-3 took later centuries as the dates of their "Great Apostasy")
- Generation 6: the Restorationists at the Great Awakening, like
- The Millerites, to become the Seventh DayAdventists -- with Ellen G White saying that Jesus was the same as the Archangel Michael and that Satan woudl take the sins of the world at the end of time and other beauties. They came up with their own version of the Bible
- The Unitarians and Universalists -- reborn and reinvigorated by this reformatting, they tossed out the Trinity and eventually they end up as they are today where they believe in nothing
- Jehovah's Witnesses: they tossed out the Trinity too and came up with their own version of the Bible
- The Mormons: they took the Trinity and made it three gods. They too came up with their own version of the Bible
- Generation 7: the Orthodo Presbyterian C, the FourSquare Ahoy! Pentecostalists, the Raelians, the Branch Davidians, the Creflo-Dollar crowd, the Jesse Dupantis (I went to visit Jesus in heaven and comforted Him) etc -- one step further beyond generation 6
- Generation 8: ... any one of the thousands of new sects formed since 1990
How can you say that there is entropy -- there's a lot of change happening. Next week the North-Western Evangelical Bible-Reformed branch of PresbyMennonCongregationalutherAdventipentecostathism is due to split into the Central-North-Western Evangelical Bible-Reformed branch of PresbyMennonCongregationalutherAdventipentecostathism and the Central-Southern-North-Western Evangelical Bible-Reformed branch of PresbyMennonCongregationalutherAdventipentecostathism, but this is good driven as there as a dispute in the Congregation on matters of doctrine, Bobama thought that he should be Preach-pasto-Prophet Elder on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays and alternate Sundays while Michelle thought that she should be that -- as she had yoga-pilates-kickboxing class on Thursdays.

Think about it..reformation day happened before
1) 21 Tradition was declared of equal authority with Bible 2) Apocryphal books added to Bible , 3). Immaculate Conception of Mary was declared doctrine ,
4) the pope was declared infallible 5) the assumption of the Mary ,and Mary was made "mother" of the church
When ya point fingers at others.. there are always some pointing back at you...

I thought Protestants just took the split thing from the RCC splitting from the Eastern Orthodox.
