If you are not a Protestant, why are you so opposed to the Catholic Church? Protestantism is a form of Christianity that originated with the 16th-century Reformation,[a] a movement against what its followers perceived to be errors in the Catholic Church.[1] (wikipedia)

The United States was populated by various religious groups, escaping fierce persecution in England and in Europe. The Quakers would be a good example of religious folk, fleeing Protestant England and that started in the Seventeenth century. Protestant England claimed freedom in belief and...

Anti-Catholics selectively ignore that Protestant Churches also did sinful things in the past. They took this single verse out of context: “Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.” (Exo 22:18) Such OT verses don't apply in this dispensation, but many in those days misunderstood this. Today...

Just because Protestant groups in the West can seem to get together that's no reason to turn to false Christian idolatry. There are a lot of people who don't want anything to do with either one but neither Catholicism nor Protestantism wants to make it very easy for them. They seem to think you...

The word "apostle" has been replaced by "missionary". I don't why, perhaps to avoid confusion over the founding 12. Apostles should be founding churches in places where there are no Christians. Such churches should become self sufficient. It is fine for the apostle to encourage, teach, exhort...

If the author is referring to past apostles and prophets, referring to the past does not mean that he is making commentary about the present or the future. The ministry of apostles and prophets was an ongoing thing when he wrote this. There were also historical prophets and some commentators...

That priest's behavior is reprehensible. Added: Protestantism in Poland is the third largest faith in Poland, after the Roman Catholic Church (32,440,722) and the Polish Orthodox Church (503,996). As of 2018 there were 103 registered Protestant denominations in Poland. Most Protestants (mainly...

Antinomianism comes from the Greek meaning lawless. In Christian theology it is a pejorative term for the teaching that Christians are under no obligation to obey the laws of ethics or morality. Few, if any, would explicitly call themselves "antinomian," hence, it is usually a charge leveled by...

Cognitive activity is now "spiritual activity"? Cognitive activity, though mental, is still reliant on our physical existence - dead people don't think, know, plan, feel emotions, OR DREAM. Paul's use of "spirit/soul/body" is the same as if a mom says to the kids, "I want the our kitchen, our...

There are no Gnostic teachings in those books. The 'Apocrypha' was in every Christian Bible until 1828 . Why did Martin Luther include them? Why did the Septuagint contain them? Please answer the questions and these I already asked. Why did Luther remove 7 books from the Bible...

You're not asking enough questions!!! You forgot to include, "Why was it REMOVED from the KJV? The reason you didn't ask that is because you are a either a Jesuit Futurist or Jesuit Preterist and NOT a Protestant Historicist like me. Protestant Historicists know the greatest threat to the truth...

Well, then you dont know about Mennonites, Baptist, Calvinists? And you cant tell me that Baptists before 1900 accepted homosexuality. (Today baptists accept many unbiblical teachings) Why the gifts are not genuine given in churches which are based on the word? Why they have to invite people...

There's only Catholicism, Protestantism, and New Age. So, what are you speaking about because these Movements were here well before the 1900's?

Hello @UnsureAnon, first off, welcome to CChat! We're glad that you found us and joined in the discussions with us :) As for what you said in your OP, would you mind clarifying what you meant when you said that, as a Christian in the past, you struggled to feel "good enough" (and what you felt...

Welp, I think you have found the right place to ask for guidance, none of us are perfect by any means and some of us have gone through trials that we could write stories about. But, nonetheless we are here to encourage, give advice… and if you wish, facts about Christianity and or beliefs...

Hi ya Come to Jesus and learn from Him ... He can break into locked rooms. :)

Dear Unsure, I find your honesty refreshing. I would say this forum--as I have discovered, probably won't be the best place to come to an understanding of the Truth. There are a few faithful Christians on this site, but there are also some bad apples--e.g. self righteous and argumentative, some...

Hello all.. New here. I'm kind of unsure (as my name implies) about the Christianity thing. I guess that's kind of why I'm here. It's not that I haven't learned or am not well versed in Christian theology and even the Bible. I was born and raised Protestant and went to Catholicism after...

Protestantism is just an offshoot of Catholicism. In fact, the word protestant was coined by the Catholic religion to describe someone who is protesting the Catholic religion. Religions, all of them, are born of men and cannot be trusted and are not of God. .
