Even so, most have those in common.

2018-08-01 08:39:46 UTC  

Elaborate on the 5 solas, ig you learn something new every day

2018-08-01 08:40:18 UTC  

the wiki page on it dosent give any clear answers

2018-08-01 08:40:36 UTC  

The fact that you haven't heard of them is quite shocking. I am guessing you believe that the Bible is the only authority?

2018-08-01 08:40:46 UTC  

no i dont

2018-08-01 08:41:40 UTC  

The Bible is not the rule of authority? What is?

2018-08-01 08:42:31 UTC  

The bible is the guide book, the map, of life so to speak.

2018-08-01 08:42:36 UTC  

Not the ultimate authority.

2018-08-01 08:42:51 UTC  

Science was created by God, so we should embrace it and use it

2018-08-01 08:43:20 UTC  

What you said is literally not even recognizable as Protestantism.

2018-08-01 08:43:52 UTC  

Re: I dont subscribe to one specific branch

2018-08-01 08:43:53 UTC  

or anything

2018-08-01 08:44:00 UTC  

I just agree with the baptists on some issues

2018-08-01 08:44:13 UTC  

It sounds like some relativist, New Age form of Christianity. Do you just like Protestantism because you can make up your own rules?

2018-08-01 08:44:23 UTC  

That faith is a matter between God and the individual and all

2018-08-01 08:44:29 UTC  

no

2018-08-01 08:45:06 UTC  

Baptist is such a vague term too, there are thousands of different branches.

2018-08-01 08:45:16 UTC  

Indeed

2018-08-01 08:45:26 UTC  

I agree with "That faith is a matter between God and the individual"

2018-08-01 08:45:55 UTC  

Every Christian in the world claims to believe that. It is not unique to "Baptist".

2018-08-01 08:48:18 UTC  

Protestantism is logically indefensible because it's result is thousands of different denominations that can't agree on any basic tenets of belief, but arbitrarily throw out parts of Christian Tradition they dislike. The various Protestant branches have no legitimate claim to authority, and rely on claims of a Great Apostasy that, if logically followed, would render Christianity an almost abject failure.

2018-08-01 08:48:53 UTC  

I don't think they are trying to seek authority mate

2018-08-01 08:49:03 UTC  

I think they are just following God in their own way

2018-08-01 08:49:23 UTC  

Which i dont see anything wrong with until it borders with homosexuality or other degenerate shit

2018-08-01 08:49:59 UTC  

Following God in your own way almost always leads to that. That's why most mainline Prot denominations accept those things.

2018-08-01 08:50:19 UTC  

The others just create God in their own image, to suit their own needs/emotions

2018-08-01 08:50:50 UTC  

God is vauge to us and you cant really think you know exactly what he 'is' in an image of sorts.

2018-08-01 08:51:25 UTC  

Knowledge of God can be achieved through reason.

2018-08-01 08:51:39 UTC  

I agree

2018-08-01 08:51:53 UTC  

Obviously not totally, but God isn't a vague concept. The point of Christianity is to know God.

2018-08-01 08:51:53 UTC  

But even close to the knowledge needed to define him? No.

2018-08-01 08:52:59 UTC  

You're acting like God is a vague concept, incomprehensible to humans, which is antithetical to the point of Christianity (ie the Incarnation).

2018-08-01 08:53:07 UTC  

The main issue i have with catholics is their egotistical behavior and the whole Marry issue

2018-08-01 08:53:43 UTC  

God is so absolute we cannot understand him, he is infinitely incomprehensible.

2018-08-01 08:53:54 UTC  

Jesus was a way for us to try to grapple with this issue [a secondary thing, the primary is obv to save]

2018-08-01 08:54:43 UTC  

Veneration of Mary is intrinsic to historic Christianity, so that should not be an issue. And the behavior of individual Catholics shouldn't interfere with how you view the actual beliefs.

2018-08-01 08:55:33 UTC  

God is incomprehensible in many ways and absolute. But you have to be careful not to reduce the personal nature of God just to emphasize other aspects of God.

2018-08-01 08:56:27 UTC  

Believe it or not traditional protestant churches exist, i go to one.

2018-08-01 08:56:46 UTC  

Literally all of the Church Fathers (who were directly taught by the apostles and their succesors) wrote about the values/virtues of Mary. And some of the Prot "Reformers" held very "Catholic" views of Mary.

2018-08-01 08:57:39 UTC  

Protestantism is antithetical to Tradition though. The moment a significant portion disagrees with an element of a tradition, they will just start their own church.

2018-08-01 08:58:50 UTC  

Praying to marry is something i'd strongly opposed to, i view it as a sin.
