Its not an insult to be a Protestant! I have a family full of them! Why are you in such vehement opposition to this?

Acoording to dictionary .com a Protestant is defined as any Western Christian who is not an adherent of a Catholic, Anglican, or Eastern Church. Sorry to disappoint you.

correct, as Protestant is a separate denomination from them. However, and read it SLOWLY, Non-denominational:

adj. Not restricted to or associated with a religious denomination.
 
Protestantism is not a denomination. It is a description of a CHristians relationship eith Catholicism

My feelings on these types or that they’ve heard anti-catholic stuff for quite awhile and believe it all… they then believe anything a Catholic says is false no matter how much evidence there is to back it up… The biggest thing I think is that they’ve never met Catholics who can defend their accusations so when they happen on to CAF they expect the same… well when they get so many Catholics that know their stuff (not me) they get frustrated and sadly we see the results of this frustration on ths thread.

hardly…that is just more Catholic rhetoric. With guys like cooldude as yourapologist, you need no help from me
 
Agian, I am a Western Rite Catholic. THere is no possible connection between the two. You are defined by your theology, not the name on your church. If my church was called the First CHurch of the Leprechaun, but I adhered to Catolic thology, I would be a Catholic. You adhrere to Protestant theology, therefore a Protestant.

no, but nice try at semantics, but error is still error, and you are wrong. You can be happy placed in a box all you like, dont stick that on me though.
 
Is there any such thing as a nondenominational Catholic or Orthodox? Is there, in fact, any nondemoninational Christian who does not ‘protest’ some teaching of the Catholic and Orthodox churches? If you weren’t protesting, you’d BE Catholic or Orthodox.

As for ‘naming things’. . .if my cat had kittens in my oven, I could CALL them ‘muffins’ instead of kittens but that wouldn’t actually make the kittens muffins.

Call yourself ‘not affiliated with a church’ but that doesn’t mean that you popped up out of a vacuum. You protest Catholic and Orthodox teachings, but you’re not protesting Protestant teachings. . .so while you can cheerfully say you aren’t a member of an established Protestant denomination. . .you’re still a Protestant in your theology and beliefs.

That was a SHORT TRIP to see Venus and Jupiter, BTW.

Why should we expect Protestants to know the Truth of Catholicism when we allow Catholics not to know the faith or Church History?

If we could get the #*@# Catholics to learn the faith, the Protestants would have more access to knowledgable Catholics, giving us more knowledgeable Protestants. We should start with Politicians who attend Catholic Churches at least once every two years, at election time and work our way up.

👍 Thank you…exactly what I was thinking. I, the protestant, want more access to knowledgable Catholics to help me understand where our faiths diverge. I am not anti-catholic but I am ignorant to its teachings. I am not catholic bashing, and hope not to be snubbed because I am not Catholic by faith. I look forward to learning more. Suggested reading???
 
“protestant” isn’t exaclty a “box”…Methodists, Luterans, Presbetyrians, and Baptists are all Protestants and all very different

cooking cats? you are a strange individual to come with an analogy like that! I was able to view them from my screendoor, just opennd the screen. I think my scope is not aligned properly anymore, though. The image was not good.

you really cant be without a label, huh? fine, call me whatever you like.
 
LOL, you’re obviously not a Vermontah, avenger. . .the old 'if your cat had kittens in an oven you wouldn’t call them muffins" was used for scores of years to explain why a person simply ‘born’ in Vermont of parents who weren’t themselves Vermonters weren’t ‘real’ Vermonters. In essence, they were flatlanders who just happened to be born in Vermont!

Cooking cats, no way. Actually, I don’t even cook hot dogs!

The world works in labels. FOr example, I am caucasian. I don’t look at race as an important issue. I do not judge people by their race. I really wish we did not use reace-based labels. But that does nothing to changfe tha fact that I am a caucasian.

funny, I look at the person instead of the race. Must be me…
 
Nondenominational Protestant. Let’s be very accurate.

But how can you be sure your nondenominational group gets everything right? Because there are a lot of nondemoninational groups out there, and every one of them teaches different things about various Scripture passages and other teachings. How do you know your group teaches everything correctly?
 
You COMEPLETELY MISSED MY POINT (color me stunned)! Labels exist. Deal with it.
