It amazes me that:
First: Protestantism listens so much to the secular media when they lie and bash the faith.
Two: Decide to ignore 2k years of church history and try to use the Bible as a word search.
Merry Christmas!
Oops, those words aren’t in the Bible!
You're saying ALL of church history should be accepted??
If you do you get this.
Canon 68 (Ut Iudaei discernantur a christianis in habitu or That Jews should be distinguished from Christians in their dress): Mandated a special dress code for Jews and Saracens to distinguish them from Christians so that no Christian shall come to marry them ignorant of who they are.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourth_Council_of_the_Lateran
I cannot find where that has ever been overturned.

And this:
"Furthermore, we declare, we proclaim, we define that it is absolutely necessary for salvation that every human creature be subject to the Roman Pontiff". Unam Sanctam
Roman Catholics usually run from this and come up with all kinds of excuses why it isn't applicable when confronted with it.
*****
And this:
All who die by the way, whether by land or by sea, or in battle against the pagans, shall have immediate remission of sins. This I grant them through the power of God with which I am invested. Urban II
A complete contradiction of Scripture. Urban II declared a Roman Catholic jihad.

So yeah....Christians do use the Bible to evaluate all of church history. When this is done much of church history is found lacking as it is not inspired nor infallible.
Ezekiel 46:1
Thus saith the Lord GOD; The gate of the inner court that looketh toward the east shall be shut the six working days; but on the sabbath it shall be opened, and in the day of the new moon it shall be opened.
Day of the New Month(Moon) gate open
6 work days, gate shut
7th Day Sabbath,gate open
1+6+1=8
+6= 14, Passover
+1= 15, Unleavened Bread
2/3 of Paul’s first chief importance of the gospel,in accordance with the scriptures..
All from one smooth stone, or verse in His Word..
Add in the 16th Day, and one gets Paul’s entire first/chief importance of the gospel in accordance,not with religion, but with the scriptures.
I admit to use His Scripture as a weapon.
Against Satan’s lies and falsehoods closely held in religions like Islam,Judaism and modern Pope led Christianity.
It’s a sharp sword to the doctrines of demons that have been predicted in the bible with about 2,000 cubits away from the Ark and about 2,000 demon possessed swine within Satan’s legion (6,000) of years
That sword gored the closely held beliefs I had,too..
Merry Christmas
