And if I characterized the Protestants in such a manner, would you think I was being rude?
Whom do you follow? Luther, who continually changed his mind, recommending massacre of the peasants, everything Hitler did against the Jews short of the concentration camp, and assuring Phillip of Hesse that bigamy was a-ok?
So he starts a church of sorts, based on *his* interpretation of the Bible, and when someone disagrees with Luther’s interpretation, he starts his own church, all the while burning witches, destroying property that doesn’t belong to them, fomenting war and rebellion, and starting new churches each time someone disagrees with his minister’s interpretation, until there are dozens of “Christian” churches unified only in their hatred of the original Church founded not by Wesley or Smyth or Darby or Eddy, but by Jesus Christ Himself.
I think you think I would be very rude if I spoke like that about Protestantism, but you go ahead and feel free to insult those whom you are presumably trying to persuade. Good luck with that tactic. I myself am outta here.
Chicory, you seem relatively new to the Religion Forum.
I suggest you carefully read the rules on the home page of the Religion Moderator.
Second, grow a thicker skin or switch to the caucus threads as the Religion Moderator suggests.
As to whom I follow? It is a Whom - Christ.
Best
Ooops, you dragged Hitler into it.
That’s an automatic forfeiture of the debate.
Godwin’s Corollary can now be invoked.
Says a guy who follows a church's own interpretation of Scripture.
Can you say *Inquisition*? Because everything you accuse Luther of, the Catholic church has in its long, sordid history.
The irony......
