How about asking for something which is possible? The paths of Christianity began diverging from day one and continue to this day.

That was your statement not mine. I was asking for your sources. Or better yet, how you arrived at this conclusion. Your answer of “From day one. My first source is Scripture.” doesn’t prove anything except you believe your interpretations to be authoritative. I don’t buy it. Cite for me any historical record you rely on and any writings of any Protestants prior to the Reformation and we can have a meaningful discussion. And yes, I am serious about discussing this.

Would you be surprised If I agreed with you?

Maybe we should quit while we're in agreement:-)

The Bible documents divisions in the body of believers and differences of doctrinal opinion throughout the epistles. They weren't considered "protestants" because no one had yet claimed a monopoly on true Christian faith.
