We don’t have saints, at least not to the degree that the Catholics have “saints”
Pagan nonsense as in the actual worship of paganism
Besides I'm Protestant
I know.
We don't do saints
We see the “saints” as great men of God but they are also on equal footing with us in terms of being a fellow man of God
Caths exalt them above the fellow man
Relics are ultra gay
But still you copied many idea's from pagan practice. Protantism also copied many things from the Catholic tradition which within itself is pagan.
Like what
Which den are you?.
Sda
Sda?.
Seventh Day Adventist
Oh.
So from me witnessing this and searching this up you basically worship a mixture of semetic tradition and mainline protestanism.
Besides lots of spirituality has paralelles between cultures
@Canadian Man ok so get on with your point of how prots have pagan traditions
From what Den you have stated i have no idea. When you said that i just learned about them.
Well I mean Christianity itself was a splinter of a formerly Semitic religion
So if that’s what you mean
But still this reilgion was quite weird by Semetic practice.
Because how could 3 be 1.
The trinity has always been pretty convoluted
Which is why its been so contentious
That's why many Jews did not convert because they could not concive how 3 dietys by there comparison could be just 1 man.
But it was easy for Pagan europeans could conceptualize the faith.
Because there faith's had God's becoming flash and blood.
That doesn't mean the trinity is pagan only that it's easier for European's to accept
Mhm, i never said it was Pagan.
I just stated it was easy for Indo-Eroupeans to adopt the faith.
Because in reality it was close to the faith.
Give jesus an AR15 and then we're having a conversation
You made the claim that prots as a whole still follow pagan traditions
I'm still waiting for you to justify that
I'll give one for now.
Only a jew would conceive of a religion where god knocked up his own mom to create himself millennia after creating her
Councils or meetings of the clergy. Was a Catholic tradition which was derived from Pagan practice of the meeting of the tribes.
Which was a Indo-Eroupean practice on selecting the Clergy of there Pagan tribes through election. But it widely differed among the tribes.
Also Localization of Prostantism was also a pagan tradition which helped mold the faith in the national spirit or fabric of the region.
You see this within the lesser Catholic regions of Germany.
