What I believe is based on Scripture, on the teachings of Christ.
I don’t follow Luther, Calvin or Henry.
So what books are in your bible?
Christ gave not only the Word but the leaders to follow through the first choosen one Peter.
The break aways from the original due to divorce, wanting gay whatever, pick and choose this or that are kind of messed up; but if they accept Jesus as their Lord and Savior for their Salvation they have the main part down IMO.
If you really WERE a Catholic then you believed in Apostolic Tradition and the Magesterium. If you believed in those then you believed in the Immaculate Conception.
You don't get to pick and chose whom and what you believe when you are a Catholic--that's the smorgie-Catholic, relative morality.
Besides, the New Testament (27 documents)/Bible was decided on by the counsels, led by the Magesterium, which itself is based on Apostolic Tradition.
Christ didn't leave us a book. As He ascended into Heaven He did NOT yell down: "Read My book!" He left us TWELVE MEN, with Peter the Rock in charge, who could bind and loose on earth and in heaven. Peter was the head bishop of the Peter-begun Magesterium. What he and his fellow Apostles did became Apostolic Tradition.
They WERE chosen by Jesus.
Actually you do. The confessions of Protestant sects denominational or not all have their basis in the 5 Solas of the Reformation. These ideas come from the writings of Luther and Calvin.
