“I had a room-mate who was an Evangelical Christian. In his eyes, if you aren’t ‘saved’, you’re destined to go to hell....this included Catholics.”
And I have a few Catholic friends, who despite the position of the Vatican, insist that protestants are not Christians. That they are following a false doctrine.
Both points of view are very wrong. Many people in both religions belong to Christ. I do not see how this could even be in dispute. But like football teams, branches of Christianity have their die hard fans.
**That they are following a false doctrine.**
Luther was excommunicated. Are you saying he had a true doctrine?
I don’t think he did since he got married, disobeyed other church laws for priests.
