Why did the Protestant Reformation Happen? 

If the Northern German Dialects had always been included in this official German language, Dutch and German would have been even a lot more similar.

only protestants did, the catholics banned people from reading their own bible until very recently but yeah that is correct

About the same in Estonia and wouldn`t be surprised if Skandinavia as well.

@@micahistory i dont think its banned from reading it, its just not really accessible to the people since creating bible was somewhat expensive before printing press and the bible also in latin so no peasant able to understand much i mean charlemagne did mass produce bible with no harm back in the days

@@yonathanrakau1783 true

and that's wrong. Because sin does not exist. Sin is just a political concept used to judge people who commit(ted) no crime

@@istvansipos9940 so you don't believe in morality? No right and wrong? So it is not sin to kill? To rape?

@@Ahmad-nf9ez it is bad, very bad, immoral to rape some1. thus, humans agreed to make rape a crime. can you define sin for me? because the concept of a crime is clear.

@@istvansipos9940 Sin literally means "to miss the mark" and are a way of describing when something is not going fully as it was meant.

@@JamesAsp that's very non-biblical. I don't mind that at all. But the "missing the mark" part is very vague. A girl likes me, I don't realize it (because I am 14 in this story), then I realize it too late. Was this a sin then? It sure was a waste. More importantly, then homosexuality (usually considered a "sin") is not a sin. F.e. 2 men do NOT miss the mark, and then they love eachother exactly as they meant to love eachother.

They did not reform the Catholic Church, they actually revolted against it. The result of this revolt is that the Catholics decided to reform their church. Something was lost in the translation.

The leaders paid their dues because of the fear of being excommunicated, ie condemned to hell for eternity, after death of course.

The marriages between powerful Spain and the heads of the Holy Roman Empire (Austria) worried a lot Northern European monarchs, too. These had great influence in Italy, at the time, with great access to the Pope. The balance of power in Europe cannot be overlooked.

Good one, Marius. But as spiritual as Martin Luther was he did very little for repairing the 1,200-year damage to Christianity created by the church and their mangling of scripture in their egoistic urge to find a "fixed" meaning. Ref: Trinity Treason

The Catholic church is the oldest and largest criminal organization on this planet...😊

Yes, I seem to remember Wycliffe being spoken about in my history lessons at school. The American commentators always seem to miss things out on English history. Maybe they ought to stick to their own.

@@Saxondog indeed so. It has struck me as odd that usually, to attain entry to university one needs to demonstrate that the applicant has the ability to study and seek out sources of information that will critique or confirm what they are being taught in lectures. If this is maintained, well and good. Otherwise universities and colleges are becoming sources of indoctrination. Bias against England may have its roots in two sources in the USA. Firstly the Revolutionary War (of Independence) and the War of 1812 (mainly naval) added to the culture of Irish immigrants carrying their bitterness from the ill treatment of Irish people by English and local landlords in the 19th Century during the Potato Blight. However, truth should never be a casualty of proper learning. This only occurs when the hearers have permitted themselves to search their own consciences in favour of a 'feel good' factor. A classic inclination of young people. Thought. Sophomore is derived from 2 words in Greek sophos and mores (check the spelling) meaning 'wise' and 'fool' Of course a conscientious faculty will not take advantage of this in pursuit of their own agenda. Students will then become aware of truthful information such as Reformation history and not find satisfaction in viewing it through political spectacles, be they nationalist or Marxist.

Luther had the benefits of the printing press

@@jerrymichaelgreen2675 he certainly did as did Tyndale but Roman Catholic power was immense. The Pope declared that any translation was an act of heresy punishable by burning. Something supported by Thomas Aquinas and even as 385 by Augustine of Hippo (torture rather than burning). Wycliffe handwrote many copies before he died in 1688.

Now we have smart phones and solar generators. Especially primitive societies. Everybody is online The remotest and most primitive. FYI. Have you seen the abundance of abnormal pheomemen documented online. Clergy and Phds debate reality. While archeology and the 74 different independent national space programs. Provide photos, Some mytheducated doubt the space program. The Bible what we know of it, written before Rome, doesn't support Vatican rules. A contrast of interest. It's understood Luther couldn't afford the indulgance tax. As a result we have liberty.

Thanks for this information. That's very interesting and I had never heard about that.

People do ignore Hus for some reason. Remember that history is a story. Our brains like to hear a story. Historians know this. Hus forms an epilogue. This is awkward to a nice story.

The church was never got weakened by Jan Hus and Luther did not know anything about him when the Reformation began

@@kiennguyenanh8498 actually he did know about him and quoted him many times. For Central Europe he was well known. Do some deeper research you will be amazed.

THE HOUSITES ZISKA THE GREAT IM FROM GREECE BUT I KNOW HISTORY EVERYBODY SPEAK ABOYT GREAT ALEXANDER AND HE WAS GREAT BUT AS A GENERAL ZISKA WAS EQUAL AND MAYBE BETTER IN MILITARY ONLY SUBJECTS

@zalacainbilbao, I think that the Czech Hussites must be also be included in a discussion of the Protestant Reformation.

I think that was actually about 100 years beforehand i.e. in the early 1400s

Husits were actually the first. Jan Hus requested that laity should receive Holy Blood of Christ, not just priests. And he was sentenced to death. For me he was reformist, not Protestant.

@@tasosgkouzos2036 tard

I think its because the Hussites and the Lollards did not succeed like Luther did. The Lollards were suppressed easily after the Oldcastle Rebellion and although the Hussites were more successful being able to contend with Catholics and do things like the First Defenestration of Prague, the burning of Jan Hus at the Council of Constance doesn’t make it as successful as Luther’s reformation. Finally, I think Luther and his later fellows Calvin, Zwingli et al. had far more radical ideas which could lead to schism like sola fides, sola scriptura and the like.

@@laurenceraran4027 Husitte Wars resulted in Catholics tolerating protestants. After Battle of Lipany, Utraquists made peace with Catholics and after that, protestants could live normally in Bohemia. We even had protestant king shortly after the wars and almost a century before Luther was even born.

@@Volnas97 That’s true, I won’t deny the importance or the relative success of the Hussite Wars - they are by far the most important proto-Protestant group and had a great effect by showing that the religious hegemony of the Catholic Church is not impregnable. But what Luther did was form something not particularly contained within Bohemia or Germany as I would argue the Jan Hus’ ideas were due to his death at Constance. Where Hus faced death at the hands of Sigismund and the Council of Constance, Luther was invited to Trent where they had to form a council specifically to counter the Reformation (although he would die before then, so he may have suffered the same fate as Hus). Hus was able to preach to the people and intellectuals in Prague, Luther faced the Holy Roman Emperor and King of Spain, Charles V, down and preached his ideas in a debate at the Diet of Worms before the nobles of Germany. I am judging success in Luther and Hus to be how widespread their impact was and it is clear that while the Church was shook by Hus, it would not face schism and full separation. Luther’s ability to survive and continue writing against the Church increased his ability to divide the Church, expose corruption and form a new theology - which I think makes him more reformist and more successful than Jan Hus and the Hussites.

That's true. Joan was against the Hussites.

@@Volnas97 Protestantism started with Luther so how do you have “Protestant” king a century before him?

Even if you’re not religious, the reformation is a really significant part of American/ western civilization because the reformation was a kinda a result of the renaissance where people were trained to really READ the Bible in their own and have personal and intellectual relationships with God, rather than just listen to the church. A lot of our culture and following revolutions/philosophy is based on this idea. 😊

I learned that, which at times in grade school I might not have believed - the printing press is a huge step or advent, in hueman evolution.

It’s why Catholics and Protestants are different despite being both Christianity

This is big fat lie video, the catholic church never ever thought that for money and paper your sins will be forgiven , unfortunately Protestantism is based on lies .

Agreed,

Had Karl V let burn Martin Luder nobody would remember even his name ,as with Jan Hus and many other heretics !

Come back to save europe PLC!

An empire is by definition an entitity, that governs wast ammounts of lands inhabitet by various people, so the PLC is by definition an empire. It was big ( 1 milion km2 at its peak) and governed over many nations: Ruthenians, Germans in Prussia, Baltic people in Courland and Livonia, Moldavians for a short time, and heck - one Polish King was even the Tzar of Russia.

@@borisbrosowski6630 The definition says "States or territories", not specifically kingdoms. And Poland ruled over many of them, as I already mentioned - Lithuania, Livonia, parts of Estonia, Courland, the Red Rus', parts of the Kievan Rus', small chunks of Slovakia (Spisz) and Moldova in the middle ages and for a short period in the early 1600's. And this isn't even counting the personal union with Sweden in 1592 or the Russia-Troubles-Polish-Tzar thing. Going by your definition - what kingdoms comprised the ottoman empire? Kingdoms in the middle ages were established only with the supervision of the pope, and I don't remember the pope blessing any ottoman sultan. So the PLC, just like the Ottomans, and the HRE was an Empire. And as for Ukraine - it became independent only in 1945, and for a brief period in the 1920's before being swallowed up by the bolsheviks, So it wasn't an empire. The Russians yeah, but Ukraine not.

@@borisbrosowski6630 Yeah, but Poland can be concidered an empire on the same terms as the Ottomans or Russia: "an aggregate of many separate states or territories under a supreme ruler". Non of them was appointed by the pope as emperors, but by definition they just were empires.

@@Maximmuss_The pope was only responsible for the old west-roman empire (this includes poland) - the catholic half. Please show me a map or any document from 1400-1800 where it is written "Imperium Polonicum". The Ottomans as Kalifs (=Emperors) ruled over Sultans (=Kings) - of course, being ilsamic they could not have been appointed by the orhtodox Patriarch. The Russians declared themeselves "Tsar" (as did the Bulgarians) but became an Empire only after acquireing the Kingdom of Poland. (Funny story: the Grand-Duchy of Warzaw actually had to be promoted to a kingdom so that the Tsar could be an emperor...)

You could say that it started even earlier with Augustine of Hippo.

In Western Europe From around the 6th Century unto the 16th Century, there was primarily only “one Church” and this Church was headed up in Rome, it was know as the Roman Catholic Church, Catholic meaning a/ universal & worldwide b/ Including everything positive & Christian c/ Past, the present and eternity. This Church was/is headed up by the Popes & Cardinals, in a Pyramid system of Governorship. They taught that there should be and must be only one church in & throughout the world and that this Church should be headed up in Rome, by the Pope. Therefore, during these Centuries the Church was managed and controlled by Rome Rome owned the church property & land, and controlled the clergy in all of England In England In the 16th Century, no small dispute arose, between the King of England, Henry the VIII, and the Popes of Rome. This dispute was mainly focussed on Henry’s Marriages. He wanted the Pope of Rome, to annul his marriage(s) but the Pope was not altogether willing. As a result mainly of this dispute, Henry Kicked out Roman Catholic rule and control of the church in England, He took control of the churches, land and Clergy. Henry made himself the Head of the Church of England. So, the churches in England, became known as “The church of England” ! it was no longer the church of Rome, but it became the church of England under King Henry VIII. This became what was later called the Reformation, so under Henry the church was reformed. It was reformed to become a national church, in contrast to a Catholic & Global church headed up in Rome. The boundary of the newly reformed church became the boundary of the Nation state, hence church “of England”. From then onwards, the church of England was owned and controlled by the King and His Ministers. This was the Nationalisation of the Church During this time, in England, the Bible was translated into English, it was printed and fully released in the English language, making it accessible to all English speaking readers During the following Century after Henry’s so-called Reformation As time proceeded, many Bible believing Christians and Christian church leaders in England. Began to increasingly see from reading the New Testament, that the Church should be Independent & Self Governing. They came to steadfastly realise that the church in/of England should not be something owned and controlled by the Monarch and the Monarch’s Government, rather the church should be Independent and self-Governing, and that the bible taught that there should be local assemblies/churches, that are Independent & Self-Governing. This type of Christian & Christian church leader, was sometimes called; a/ Separatist b/ Non-Conformist c/ Dissenters. One of the most distinct early non-conformists was a man called Robert Browne bn 1550s died 1633, he was the Master at the Great Hospital in Norwich and is famous for stating in His book entitled “without tarrying for any” that the church should appoint its own leaders. These non-conformist Christians tried many times to meet together, have their own-independent assembly church life, independent from Government control. They were often severely persecuted, and like Robert Browne, John Robinson and hundreds of others, they often fled England to live in todays Holland (later the American Colonies) where they could freely have their own church-life. After a long and varied struggle, Later with the Act of Toleration in 1688, a deal was struck and the English Monarchy William & Mary permitted, the building of “houses for worship” for non-conformists use

Edward, everyone knew what "the Faith" meant. It means the Catholic Faith and always will. The Protestant hijaking of the term makes no difference. The Church of England is the counterfit organisation that stole Catholic churches and monasteries and murdered and persecuted the Catholic people. The C of E will never replace the Catholic Faith that has never dissapeared from England.

In my opinion, the protestant reformation was one of the worst events in christian history, far worse than the schism of 1054. Science, Laws, Philosophy, Art, Education, and many more things that made the western civilization greater than others (multiculturalists can cry now) came from the Holy Church. We catholics, instead of genociding natives, integrated them in society. Catholic priests protected natives against enslavers in the americas. The calvinists and lutherans took the land and killed or expeled them. Protestantism didnt ever produce human arts like the catholics did, look their simplistic architecture for example. Also this movements today, flat earth and antivax, come from the protestant sects, since a protestant priest can say whatever he wants without consequences.

@@Nimai_Aquino You are Spot on My Brother in Christ. The Cathlolic Church BUILT WESTERN CIVILIZATION. It was CATHOLICS who stood up for the faith in times of danger, such as the Battle of Tours, The Crusades, Lepanto and Vienna,not protestants.

But there are some doctrines that these "reformers" kept, such as the belief in Infant baptism, the Belief in Mary's perpetual virginity as well as her role as the Mother of God, something that Luther, Zwingli and Calvin themselves believed even after they revolted against the Church. So just so you know, even what their founders tought they don't believe it.

@J Kim I'm not a Luthern, but God bless Martin Luther, despite his faults, for: 1.Exposing The Vatican for what it really is as well as the vile popery. 2. Giving the German people a Bible they could read which eventually opened the Bible to everyone. 3. Exposed the selling of indulgences grift. 4. Gave us A Mighty Fortress Is Our God hymn. 5. And, most importantly, he taught the ultimate truth of the Word of God, the doctrine of justification by faith alone which is the central doctrine of the Christian life and that faith comes solely as a gift from God.

@J Kim Catholics kneel down and worship idols; pray to dead saints and Mary; are very superstitious, see apparations; believe in the silly brown scapular; believe their man-made traditions are equal to or superior to the Holy Spirit 's Word of God and tell their sins to gay and pedo priests.

Then you should go back further to the bishop of Hippo himself, Augustine.

Augustine was the source of some of the bad theology and practices in the Roman Catholic Religion which needed to be Reformed. The practice of Baptizing Infants and the need to have Confirmation comes from around the time of Augustine. Some of Augustine's ideas were good, but not all

@@pastorart1974 I think you should realize that Luther and Calvin and John Wesley ALL continued the practice of infant baptism AND confirmation.

@Kokoro Shimamura they mean the eastern romans

My understanding is the Ottomans where extremely supportive of the Protestants. They where 100% in favour of a schism among the Christians - just loved the idea.

there was communication... the church didnt die... and the reality is that they both hated the catholic church, and they both agreed on many things against the catholic doctrine... but thats all there was to it... also due to the structure of the greek orthodox church(the emperor appointed the patriarch of constantinople and since the empire was dead, the patriarch was now an ottoman puppet, which is why even greece today has its own church away from the patriarch and the patriarch is nothing but a tittle any more, he has virtually no community, apart from some 10 thousand greeks that the turks didnt manage to butcher the last century!)

All one has to do is read the New Testament to understand the problems with Catholicism. There are genuine Christians within the RCC but the institution is rife with man made doctrines and traditions that are a mixture of pagan and Christianity. If you read the OT, God really hates this and calls it spiritual fornication and rebukes the Jews over it throughout the OT. Yes Catholics, I hear you, this does not make protestant perfect, far from it. But the basis of Christianity and sound doctrine is the Bible according to Jesus and the Apostles and the early church.

A big correction. No man invents anything! All ideas/knowledge comes from God as the Bible says no man can take glory for anything! When God thinks its the correct time to introduce new technology in the chronology of human existence, then He allows it Don't exhalt yourself or any other man

Just curious...what state are you in that doesn't require that world and American history be taught in high school?

@@jerryklooster438 maybe he dropped out before he took those classes

@@jerryklooster438 Only one year (and possibly only one semester) is allotted to the entirety of World History class. Not room for a whole lot of content to be covered. That happens in the teaching of American History as well but the greater problem is that schools in some states are being prohibited from teaching anything other than a literally "white washed" curriculum whereby America virtue progressively grows to lead the world. In Florida, those who believe in "American Exceptionalism" dominate the government and are using state degrees to dictate what is to be taught. There are no literal book burnings but most certainly a massive amount of book banning.

@@karenryder6317 Required curriculum varies from state to state. National learning standards would be an improvement over the mishmash we have now. The Common Core curriculum was a bipartisan effort from the nation's governors, but despite being endorsed by many leading conservative, the right wing nut jobs were able to convince their base that the Common Core infringed on a state's right to teach unscientific and religious dogma.

school basically teaches you to read after that your really on your own to decide which books you read to lift yourself up/school never touches on anything controversial/ Church only tells you what they want you to know never discovering the differences how ever subtle. see Dr. Myles Munroe for history on Bahamas if You think this is interesting/Bahamas was under England well let him tell you on RU-vid/

Lots of good stuff here. I watched Bruce Fumey's youtube vid on topic. But- is there evidence that Scots were among those who "invited" Wm to sail with an Armada and take over? My understanding was it was English MPs

Protestantism is the counterfit movement that stole Catholic churches and monasteries and murdered and persecuted the Catholic people. It will never replace the Catholic Faith that has never dissapeared from Britain

And now scotts are getting replaced by muslims and hindus in their own homeland Insuppose it was worth it weakining europe and crippling christianism in europe forever. Its not like all protestant countries nowadays are majorithy atheist right ?

How do you feel about the church of england ordaining a trans priest and referring to God as they/them?

​@@jeanbethencourt1506 the protestant churches constantly changed the rules. A man made religion.

@@wolfthequarrelsome504 all religions are msn made!

The Church never intended this to happen it was because of widespread misinformation and other priests, bishops and even cardinals using indulgences to get bags full o' coins. This was later corrected by the Church but the damage has already been done, If it wasn't for that Dominican or any other priests who misinterpreted the indulgences as a way for salvation then none of this shit would've happen.

i wanna see you get house arrest for talking about nanotechnology and all its potential positive uses and then say its just an extremely mild punishment

@@exeexecutor You do realize that I was saying it was mild *compared to* other punishments, right? Also, how in the world do those two scenarios compare? Galileo wasn't punished for disagreeing with geocentrism. He was punished for violating a *legally binding* contract and for being an asshole towards the *Pope.*

@@Menzobarrenza Not to mention that he wanted to revise the bible by adding some stuff to it(I forgot) but I remember is that he wanted to revise but the church disagreed and placed him in house arrest for multiple "crimes" he committed indirectly as what you said. Protestants usually portray Galilei as a martyr who defied the church when it was the church who supported all of his works prior to his scandals.

@@kuyachamp7618 Honestly, I've mostly heard this from Atheists trying to prove that Christianity is anti-science, and not so much from Protestants. Though I would be completely unsurprised to see Protestants, who erroneously believe the myth about why he was punished, use it as an argument against the Papacy.

@@kuyachamp7618 what discoveries had the science st made, too be burnt at the stake by a supportive church. ET contact maybe, ET civilizations. You comment doesn't justify the Pope. Censorship.

Science, history, and religion are quite literally the most intertwined subjects when you study all of them. Maybe you could actually study some important early scientific figures instead of a couple scientific atheist Jews from the 20th century.

THE HISTORY AND TRUTH ABOUT CATHOLIC CHURCH 1. The Catholic Church canonized the Bible. Catholic Bishops in late 3rd century AD determined the 46 Old Testament books and 27 New Testament books. Catholic monks copy the Bible by hand to preserve that took them 10 years to complete one and protect it. Even Christ himself never wrote a single letter but message of salvation he left on his Apostles that all tombs are under the premises of Catholic Church. How Bible became supreme source of authority within Church when there is no Bible in first 400 years of Christianity. 2. The Catholic Church gave us the Gregorian Calendar which we all use today. 3. The Catholic Church gave us the date for Easter. 4. The Catholic Church gave us the date for Christmas which means Christ - Mass. ( Christians Mass ) 5. The remains of all of the Apostles and Gospel writers are in Catholic Churches Some relics are divided between Catholic Churches. 5.1 St. Peter is in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. 5.2 St. Paul is in St. Paul's Church in Rome. 5.3 St. Matthew (also the Evangelist) is in the Cathedral of St. Matthew in Messina, Sicily. 5.4 St. James the Greater is in St. James Church in Compostela Spain. 5.5 St. James the Less (the Just) is in the Basilica of the Holy Apostles in Rome. 5.6 St. Bartholomew is in St. Bartholomew-in-the- island Church in Rome. 5.7 St. Andrew is in the Cathedral of Amalfi in Italy. 5.8 St. Philip is in the Church of the Dodici Apostoli in Rome, Basilica of the Holy Apostles. 5.9 St. Simon is in the Vatican, under the Altar of the Crucifixion. 5.10 St. Jude is in St. Peter's Basilica in Rome. 5. 11 St. Thomas is in the Cathedral of Saint Thomas in Mylapore, India. 5.12 St. Matthias is in St. Matthews Abbey in Trier Germany, and in St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome. 5. 13 St. John is in the ruins of the Basilica of St.John in Ephesus Turkey. "You are built upon the foundation of the Apostles and Prophets with Jesus Christ Himself as the Chief Corner Stone." Ephesians 2:20. Even though he was not an Apostle, he did write the Gospel of Mark. St. Mark the Evangeslist is in St. Mark's Church in Venice, Italy. Even though he was not an Apostle, he did write the Gospel of Luke. St. Luke the Evangelist is in the Basilica of Santa Giustina in Padua, Italy. ( 13 Jesus Disciple and 4 Evangelist relics/ tombs all are under the premises of the Universal Church) The first Christian Martyr. Acts 7:60 St. Stephen is in Rome in the Basilica of St.Lawrence Outside the Walls. The first person to arrive at the tomb of the Risen Christ. John 20:1 St. Mary Magdalene is in the Basilica of St. Maximin in Villalata, France. He produced the first Bible containing both Old and New Testaments, the Latin Vulgate. St.Jerome is in St. Mary Major Basilica in Rome. We know from the many authentic Relics that Catholic Church has in its possession. Among them are: 1. The Relic of the True Cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified. John 19:17-18 2. The "INRI" inscription from the True Cross, called "Titulus Crucis". John 19-19 3. The Nails which held Jesus to the cross. John 20:25 4. The Lance Point of Saint Longinus which pierced the side of Jesus. John 19:34 5. The Crown of Thorns and the individual thorns from it. John 19:2 6. The Table used at the Last Supper is in St. John Lateran Basilica in Rome. Matthew 26:20 7. The Scala Santa, the steps which Jesus Christ ascended on His way to meet Pontius Pilate. 8. The Chains of Saint Peter, in the Church of St.Peter in Chains in Rome. The Crusades were a series of religious wars initiated, supported, and directed by the Latin Church or Roman Catholic Church in the medieval period. The best known of these Crusades are those to the Holy Land in the period between 1095 and 1291 that were intended to recover Jerusalem and its surrounding area from Islamic rule. None from 40,000 plus Protestant denominations fight for Jerusalem, only the Catholic Church. Church of Holy Sepulcher where Christ was crucified, died, buried and resurrected was the most holiest place in whole Christendom are under the premises of only two Pre - denominational Christian Church of Roman Catholic and Greek Orthodox who basically One and Same for first one thousand years. Many more......... We know from its sheer Size and Rapid Growth, with over 1,400,000,000* (One Billion, Four Hundred Million) members, or one in fifth of the entire population of the earth, as of January 2021, more than half of the total membership of the largest single non- Catholic denomination. In 2021, the Catholic Church grew to over 1,370,540,000* members, plus another 316,000,000* Orthodox. Bar none, the Catholic Church is the fastest growing Christian Church in the world. All of the over 46,400+++ various Non-Catholic denominations, collectively added, total less* than the Catholic membership. For those detractors of the Catholic Church who say that numbers are irrelevant, they are in effect, saying that Satan is winning souls and that GOD is losing souls. They are saying that more people are convinced by the lie from the father of lies, John 8:44, than they are convinced of the truth of GOD, John 14:6. They have forgotten, or maybe they never knew, that Satan can only do what GOD allows him to do. #One #Holy #Catholic #Apostolic #33AD Mr. Intenet can affirmed it, Search it

Then you should restore yourself to the Orthodox, by admitting Catholics were in the wrong in changing the Nicene Creed. Be humble and admit the truth.

Matthew Reyes -- I was brought up in the Church of Christ and for a long time i thought it was Protestant. But only long after my family left it did i learn it was founded as a "Restoration" church, the Disciples of Christ, whose purpose was to restore "Christ's true church", which to its founders was none of the other Christian churches. As for the Lutheran Church, the radio show "A Prairie Home Companion" taught me far more about it and its culture in the Upper Midwest than i'd ever learned before.

And yet you still think you were taught 100% truth.

A classic

All one has to do is read the New Testament to understand the problems with Catholicism. There are genuine Christians within the RCC but the institution is rife with man made doctrines and traditions that are a mixture of pagan and Christianity. If you read the OT, God really hates this and calls it spiritual fornication and rebukes the Jews over it throughout the OT. Yes Catholics, I hear you, this does not make protestant perfect, far from it. But the basis of Christianity and sound doctrine is the Bible according to Jesus and the Apostles and the early church.

We now have countless copies of the entire NT that are nearly 2000 years old in the original Greek. We KNOW for a fact the words have not been changed.

amen

He even wanted to take out james, cause there's the famous verse in james that says and i'm paraphrasing badly here but that, having faith alone isn't enough but that you must also have good works in conjunction with the faith that your'e supposed to have. Edit: yea i'm a bad paraphraser, here's the original section from james mentioning it which shows, even the bible was against Luther and his teaching, so luther was in heresy, aka a heretic. *14 What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15 If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16 and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good[a] is that? 17 So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.*

This.

Well said. Lack of humility has long been a corrupting influence in the church, starting with the early church bureaucracies of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th centuries. Their need to create a "fixed" meaning for scripture was an abomination, especially because they got it wrong and forced it on everyone else. The worst part was the church's betrayal of their flock with the *_only unforgivable sin._* Ref: *_Trinity Treason_*

Disagree. Protestants were being extremely humble by announcing that only true authority is God. Being “patient” with Heresy, is only further damning your own and thousands of others souls.

@@tcideh4929 Protestantism is the weakest heresy ever proposed in the history of the Church. It's founders were neither holy, humble or educated. They were pumped up with pride and gave people a watered down Gospel.

@@DD-bx8rb How is saying the Bible and Gospel are the final and only words of God, watering it down? Catholics have Councils which you are supposed to treat as holy. Like hello? Its amazing how Catholics have twisted scripture to fit their narrative. Like the argument for a priests celibacy is so weak... Or Mary being a perpetual virgin when Jesus had brothers. Also how does the bible support the notion of the Catholic church being the ultimate interpreter of Scripture. Catholics are so tradition based they have lost their way as believers of God. Colossians 2:8 is a perfect rebuttable of the ways of the Sinful and Heretical Catholic Church "See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ"

Because the practice of Bible Alone allows each reader to formulate an easy religion from his Bible reading. Everything the various Protestant groups have removed from Christian doctrine has been "justified" bt their Bible interpretations: divorce, abortion, homosexuality, no fasting, contraception, no confssion, no good works, faith alone. etc....the Easy Gospel

So it was William Tyndale that changed the verse of, 'and Son of God.' Mark 1:1 verse line.

And a thanks to the printning press that made it possible for every man to read the Bible in their own language.

I don't think God approved. 😊😮❤😎👍👌
