I suppose you would have to define what Protestant means to you. To most people it would mean they align or belong to one of the Protestant organizations. I don't. If we wanted to play loose with terminology I suppose that given the Catholic Church claims they and the Muslims serve the same god would that make you a Muslim or them Catholics?
It is much easier to not claim affiliation with any visible or historic Church. One can be their own Church with no history other than the pieces of others they wish to; and, in effect, be the Church of Those Who Never Did Anything Wrong.
Combine that with being your own authority for interpretation and theology and óila!: The Church That Is Never Wrong *and* Never Did Anything Wrong.
Impossible in fact but, very handy in debate.
“I suppose you would have to define what Protestant means to you.”
Gee, thanks, Bill Clinton for your opinion about the word “is”.
“To most people it would mean they align or belong to one of the Protestant organizations. I don’t.”
On doctrines, you do.
“If we wanted to play loose with terminology I suppose that given the Catholic Church claims they and the Muslims serve the same god would that make you a Muslim or them Catholics?”
Or Jews, right? Since, after all, all three profess to believe in the God of Abraham. See, not even your example makes sense.
