Jesus was a protestant

[Contarini]

Jesus did protest so in a way he was a “protestant” but that’s not the point how do you think Martin Luther earned this name. He protested the Catholic Church created his own and replace scripture with blasphemous things.

The word “Protestant” was coined to refer to certain German princes and city governments who in 1529 “protested” being told by the Emperor and the “Reichstag” (the body representing the princes and cities of the Holy Roman Empire as a whole) to stop introducing “evangelical” reforms (i.e., reforms based on the ideas of Luther and others who broadly agreed with him). It had nothing at all to do with Luther “protesting” Catholic teaching. That’s simply an “urban legend.” The term soon lost its original meaning and simply became a religio-political label.

Arguments based on its etymology are thus thoroughly bogus.

“protestant” (lower-case ‘p’): A person who protests against something; a protester, an objector.
Matthew 23: Then Jesus said to the crowds and to his disciples: 2 “The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses’ seat. 3 So you must be careful to do everything they tell you. But do not do what they do, for they do not practice what they preach. 4 They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them.

Interesting, though, because He didn’t protest against their teachings. And neither did Martin Luther…at first.

was Buddha a protestant?

Yes, Jesus was a protestant, he protests against all sin… so what is your point.

Now regards to the religion of the "P"rotestant church Jesus Christ is a protester of this as well, for Jesus Christ only founded one Church not a church that came 1500 years later.

Everyone protest against something or someone, but I will never protest against the Catholic Church doing so is protesting against Jesus Christ.
