When you get right down to it, isn't each man his own denomination? Does any Protestant Church claim infallible teaching authority, or do Protestants only recognize Luther's Bible as the sole rule of faith?
The only possible exception that I can think of is the Episcopalian Church.
Just the same as each Catholic being his own rite. There is plenty of disagreement even on this forum between Catholics on different issues.

There is no such thing as *Luther's Bible*. And even if there was, it was written in German. I use English.
And for about the bazilliointh time, I do not care what Luther had to say about anything. I don't follow Luther. I don't follow men as Catholics do with their pope.
Scripture is the final authority on anything and Jesus Himself when tempted by Satan in the desert retorted with *It is WRITTEN..*
Scripture alone is sufficient for Jesus, it's sufficient for me.
Then there are as many denominations are there are Protestants?
My posting that there are 30,000+ interpretations is thus correct.
Why would one be satisfied with just one overriding principle, one of my profs told us, when two, three or more would be even better? He was teaching engineering principles and was obviously joshing, so that josh may not carry over to philosophy or theology. Theology ain’t science - just ask Galileo.
One truth, though, would be very satisfying.
