Have never seen where they put themselves first. Every one puts Christ first. Catholics on the other hand put the CC first. I see protestants posting scripture to back up their desired to put Christ first. I see Catholics posting everything from supposed “church fathers” to current popes. When Catholics can’t back up their beliefs with scripture they tend to get personal. I see protestants consistently backing up their beliefs with scripture.

YOPIOS and declaring one's own salvation kinda puts the lie to that doesn't it?

Catholics post the Gospels and Church Fathers in a way to be true to the teachings as Jesus, Paul, Peter and John instructed us. Protestants threw open the door to self-revelation and self-theology at the Reformation. How is that working out? Have you guys achieved unity of belief, as Jesus only taught one Gospel?

Yes, their beliefs all on their own, every one of them. Their individual beliefs varied and disparate, all from their very own Holy Spirit, history, theology and "facts" about other's beliefs.

Hence: they think that the world begins and ends with them; alone and wrapped up in self.

A pitiful handful. Pray for them.
