If there ‘were a million’ different Protestant denominations, which one of the million would most closely resemble the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church?
 
You seem to ask this question a lot. Makes me think of another poster who asked a question for the past 15 years.

My dear poster. That question ASSUMES many things. That the church is a common understanding. When you get to that answer you will understand your arrogance in that post!

Regards

Yea I got to this source. Quite eye opening and confusing why Catholics would even touch this.

This is also something I see so many times. The Catholic can say sòoooooooooo many things but the Protestant gets bashed. Please refrain from this

You called me arrogant. @JonNC called me a triumphalist. And, I merely pointed out the fact that Protestantism is divided. Hmmmmmm…🤔
 
Yup. Considering your posts here you should maybe take a look! They say hindsight is 20/20

And I refer to all you said before I said anything!

You do realize that this is going to take a long time to tell. It always does, when starting from zero.

Triumphalism is the attitude or belief that a particular doctrine, religion, culture, or social system is superior to and should triumph over all others.

And this is s straw man. There never had been a Protestant Church to be divided. The One Holy Church is divided, sadly, and that division includes all of us.

No. Luther is not the source for Baptist theology, no matter how much some Baptists might like to claim him as their own forerunner. Luther himself likely would’ve condemned many modern Baptist practices as ‘Anabaptist,’ even though many Baptists would deny the connection (Baptists theology is motley with messy history). But probably just as many Baptists would say they are connected to the Anabaptists (especially the “Trail of Blood” crowd).

The Lutheran Confessions blast Anabaptists more than they do Rome, and Lutherans and Catholics used to pause their fighting in the Thirty Years’ War just to hunt Anabaptists! Lutherans have always been quite separate from Baptists.

Are we to interpret from what you write here that somehow the murder of the Anabaptists by both Catholics and Lutherans was totally justified?
 
How in the world would you come to such conclusion?

No, I’m only pointing out that there is not now and never was a “Protestantism” that fractured and splintered. There have been several, separate Reformations by many exclusive groups. The only common ancestor Lutherans and Baptists have is the Catholic Church, not each other.

Exactly! Until, men in the 16th century strayed from docility and took it upon themselves to attempt to privately interpret Sacred Scripture.

I do not know what ‘Church’ you speak of, because if the Church is ‘One’ with a capital ‘O’, then it is unified, not ‘divided’! I do not protest the Catholic and Apostolic Faith that is safeguarded by the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church; I left that ‘division’ that includes all of protesting Christians years ago.
