How Many Protestant Denominations Are There? [vanity]

[GeronL]

BUMP

Jesus Christ is the rock, those who worship him are the church and only through him will they reach heaven.

[GeronL]

So I guess that is the question.

Is your rock a church or Jesus Christ?

[Elsie]

That kinda sums it up nicely.

This thread is not about the Religion Moderator and vladimir998.

Again, “If you think another poster is breaking the rules here, send me a freepmail with a link and appropriate action will be taken.”

[Elsie]

Again, I’m not looking for an argument with you.

Or any of the rest of us Prots; either.

It appears you just want to spout stuff and claim it's absolutely true.

I think you've mistaken this for a Catholic Caucus thread.

Scott Hahn is a Preterist who couldn't think for himself in a Baptist environment and needed the fixed propaganda of he Catholic cult.

Scott Hahn was a preterist because he learned preterism as a Protestant. He has given up preterism in order to conform to the teachings of the Catholic Church. Like you, I thought he was a preterist room and one of the Catholics posted evidence that Hahn gave up preterism for Catholic theology.

[af_vet_1981]

Room => too

[vladimir998]

“It appears you just want to spout stuff and claim it’s absolutely true.”

When something is true, I label it as such. I have no problem calling the truth the truth and calling error error.

“I think you’ve mistaken this for a Catholic Caucus thread.”

No, I made no mistake. But you just did.

(CynicalBear) Ironic isn't it?

(now imardmd1) Hardly irenic, eh?

“the Catholic Church - has been a mess since it’s inception.”

[vladimir998]

“the Catholic Church - has been a mess since it’s inception.”

And not a Protestant in sight for more than 1400 years. As YOU stated the Catholic Church - my Church (”you CATHOLICS”) - was the original Church.

>>Like you, I thought he was a preterist room and one of the Catholics posted evidence that Hahn gave up preterism for Catholic theology.<<

He simply went from one false teaching to another.

[CynicalBear]

>>But going on further to where the Bereans did search the Scriptures daily, we blithely assume that the same message was preached to them<<

Assumption. Do you think Paul preached a different message to each assembly?

>>and, assuming that was the message, that their search was to determine if the Scriptures verified that Jesus is The Christ.<<

Assumption. Paul said they "searched the scriptures daily to see if "what he said was true".

It matters not what the message was. The point of the passage was that the Bereans were commended for checking with the known word of God to see if men were teaching correctly.

[CynicalBear]

>>No one on this forum has given a credible alternative for the holy catholic apostolic church.<<

The underlying assumption being that an orgainized hierarchy was actually established which has been shown over and over is not so. Even if there had been the paganism of the Catholic Church would eliminate it from being that.

[Elsie]

“the Catholic Church ...

...can't even get SEVEN of it's own early churches to agree on ERROR!

[Elsie]

And not a Protestant in sight for more than 1400 years.

And where's the thanks we get for FORCING you guys into coming up with the COUNTER Reformation??

[Elsie]

... the Bereans were commended for checking with the known word of God to see if men were teaching correctly.
