Protestantism is heresy.

I don"t know where you are coming from. Are you catholic? Or another non-protestant denomination? Also, specifically what protestant denomination are you referring to, there are many. What time are you referring to? Protestants have had a long history. They go back all the way to breaking out of the Catholic Church. Protestantism then was fine, and not heretical. Now it seems that the majority of Protestants are heretical. But to be honest, the Catholic Church, far more than the protestant movement, is the most heretical thing ever done with Christianity. The Protestant movement was begun when Luther began to secretly read the bible, a deed prohibited by a man of his status in that day. Protestants have a history of Godliness, but today many are a joke. Methodists, and Lutherans I would say were the ones who held out the Longest, but they too have become corrupt. Protestantism is wrecked by emotion. People are always saying, "I feel." Authority comes directly from God"s word, not experience, or ecclesia, or ex cathedra for that matter. People get riled up and start "speaking in tongues." Speaking in tongues was done away with in the book of acts, and it is not what they think it is. Speaking in tongues is the ability to speaking the Gospel to an unbeliever in their native tongues, even if you didn"t speak their language. It wasn"t senseless babble that gives them revelation. Then we have the music, and worship taking over the services instead of preaching. This is because they are emotion driven, not spirit driven. Their Christianity lives in the moment. A true Christian will tell you a decision made on emotion will never last, but one made on God"s word will. Calvinism is another protestant movement that says God has already picked who is going to heaven, and who is not. Therefore witnessing is not needed. There is a plethora of ways to discredit this. So yes, many protestant churches are heretical. But if we look at the movement in its beginning we find they separated from the Catholic Church for good reason. The heresy of the Catholic Church had gone too far. Allow me to outline catholic heresy. 1) Their origin Catholicism was started by Constantine of Rome. He had some crazy vision about conquering with it. So he decided to take Christianity as it was in the day, and merge it with their own pagan religion. Thus we see certain pagan symbolism in the Catholic Church such as the Pope"s fish hat, a representation of a pagan deity. So the Catholic Church has its roots in paganism. That"s a problem. 2) Ex Cathedra This, like most catholic doctrine have the same argument pending against it. It"s not biblical. Nowhere does the bible ever even allude to it, it"s not real. Or course this has led to even more heresy. Pope Francis says the Koran, and the Bible are the same. That is heresy. Pope Francis says Jesus" life ended in failure. He should be worried that God does not strike him dead for saying that. Ex Cathedra is not biblical, and even having a pope is not biblical. 3) Praying for Saints to intercede for you, and praying to saints. Deuteronomy 18:11 tells us praying to the dead is a sin. Peter is dead, along with saint whoever. You guys pray to so many saints. In reality they are enjoying their time in heaven with the Lord, and probably have no idea you are praying to them. 4) Confessions Again there is no verse in the bible that says you need to confess your sins to any man. There is a verse that says you must confess it to God. But confessions are not biblical. 5) Infant Baptism Baptist is just showing people you have given your life to the Lord, and are now saved. A baby cannot comprehend baptism, much less salvation. Besides, baptism is strictly submersion, not sprinkling. At any rate I could go on and on. Catholics are the only ones amongst many denomination of people who believe God to literally get almost every aspect of their doctrine wrong. Is Protestantism heretical? Maybe today. But there was a time that it led in Godliness, and sound doctrine. I think today it is incriminating to claim Protestantism, or Catholicism. I would just call myself a Bible Believer, But the denomination I line up with the most is Baptist, which happens to be neither catholic, or protestant. :)
