--- Quote ---The thing I don't understand is how anyone can be a Protestant?

Cause if you know your history, that religion is a joke
--- End quote ---


why is that a joke??

Don Jacob:
Jay-ay-bee...how can preaching just the simple facts and truths straight from the bible be a joke?


i don't get that.....catholics (i'm not dissing any catholics) believe in and do  stuff that ain't even in the bible, and the bible CLEARLY states no one shall take away or ADD to the bible

that's the simple fact why im not catholic no more and go to a non denominational church where they just preach out of the bible


why pergatory....where in the bible does it mention this...no where


why do we need to go to the preacher to confess our sins and say a certain amount of prays to be forgiven , when jesus died for our sins so we WOULDN"T have to do that and just ask GOD for forgivness?



i'm not knocking catholosm at all, but y add to the bible when it clearly says NOT to?

.:R-E-L:.:
Jesus was Jewish.....

He began being a teacher and interpreter....

He philosophied and interpreted the bible and "read between the lines" and his teachings (after his death) became Christianity.....

And now CHRISTIANS overpopulate JEWS

TheSheriff:
Jake, the Catholic bible is effectively the New Jerusalem Bible. It includes the Apocryphals.

M Dogg™:
pergatory is mentioned in the book of macabee, which is one of the Apocrypha.

From a bible website about the Apocrypha.
"Protestantism, following Martin Luther, removed the deuterocanonical books from their Bibles due to their clear teaching of doctrines which had been recently repudiated by Protestants, such as prayers for the dead (Tobit 12:12, 2 Maccabees 12:39-45 ff.; cf. 1 Corinthians 15:29), intercession of dead saints (2 Maccabees 15:14; cf. Revelation 6:9-10), and intermediary intercession of angels (Tobit 12:12,15; cf. Revelation 5:8, 8:3-4). We know this from plain statements of Luther and other Reformers"

If these were the original Bible, why would a man take them out. If you believe in the Bible as the word of the Lord, than this is the word of the Lord. The Prayers for the Dead are for people in pergatory.

As for confession, that is one thing the Catholic church believes, as I figure it more like old school counsling. Basically you should be able to confide with your priest if anybody in this world. So we have confession, as afterwards I do feel a hell of a lot better just telling someone my busness without getting jugded. But it is not forced.

But when it come to Protestants, as I said, whatever brings people closer to God, but I question how they changed the Bible, as once it was a certain way, as the world of the Lord, then it was change because ONE MAN, Martin Luther, who was a priest but not a profit, disagreed with what was written. Why, because after studing Lutherism in a Luther college, Protestants it seemed needed more than the Catholic church, which is understandable. But they felt they need to also take out books of the bible, and also wanted to take out Job and Jonah and Ecclesiastes, and Job is considered one of the most influental books in the Bible, as it deals with God punishing a man that is a true devoted person, to show the Devil that man does love God. I can agree with the modernization the Christain religion has gained with Protestism, but I can't agree with them wanting to change the word of the Lord, and by doing this also getting rid of pergatory, because even if you get rid of the book that states there is a pergatory, it's still there in truth.

A web site by a person that can explain the Apocrypha better than me.
