Zone1 The biggest difference between Catholicism and Protestantism.

[Woodznutz]

Catholics believe they have the authority to change the meaning of scripture.
Protestants do not claim such authority. From there comes most of the other differences.

Well considering they picked and chosen what was in the bible, I would say they do. Its their book.
The christian religion is built upon what constantine believed.

I'm pretty sure God can manage his written word regardless of what men do to it. What the Roman church did was preserve the holy writings until they could be read by everyone. Protestantism was born out the differences between what scripture says and what Catholics do.

Protestantism was mostly an organic movement that sprung from the widespread access to the Bible thanks to the printing press. The Catholics had a fit and charged Guttenberg with heresy.

There's no evidence that the "lost sheep of the house of Israel" went to Italy.

Point it out for me.

 

[Woodznutz]

Point it out for me.

Sure. Long before the Pope and priests were called "father" Jesus spoke against it. Prophetic?

Matthew 23:9
"And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven."

 

[The Irish Ram]

Thanks.
