Catholics follow the bishop of Rome as the true apostolic church and have many traditions they follow. They notably hold church authority above the authority of the Bible, in contrast to Protestants
Because Jesus founded Catholic church ⛪
Only Catholic church holds all sacraments like Eucharist, baptism , etc taught in Bible and did by Lord Jesus w apostles.
Orthodox church split from Catholic church in 1600's
And then protestants heretics they split from Catholics after that . That's why they are called protestants as they protested against Catholic church which tells us that at first it was Catholic church . Not protestants one
And no protestants church holds any of sacraments
Jesus was Jewish messiah came down from heaven for salvation of Jews and gentiles
And many Jews accepted them and all apostles were jewish- Christians
Mary Magdalene and all first Christians were Christians of Jewish origins ♧
And normal guys like me and ya are gentile - Christians. Ie Christians of non-jewish origins
The split was earlier then that
>>> Choose me
Relax pus, we are in the middle of smth ......🥃
>>> The split was earlier then that
I can't remember exact date but it was called great schism
Not all Protestants are heretics
but there's 30,000 denominations in Protestantism
Those who are true to traditional Protestant denominations are not heretics
And they all reject each other . Like semi-excommunicated
Non denominational churches are a serious issue I agree
That's right saint mark (;
But who are true protestants ?
True protestants = direct disciples of Martin Luther ( ex german catholic priest who got married later on )
Those who hold to the niceaen creed and hold that the Bible has more authority then the church(they can still view church as having a huge amount of authority but to us the Bible has more)
It’s not so much that we are disciples of him, it’s that we hold scripture above tradition
that’s the fundamental difference
That means you are close to us (;
But we apostles creed nicene creed teaches " I believe in one true Catholic church"
Yes people think it’s all divided but all Christian’s are united in the basics of Christianity, if you can’t agree on the basics) creed of Nicaea, then your not Christian
And catholic church gave the Bible to protestants. As during that time orthodox were w us. Split happened later. And
In that case it’s a lower case catholic though
Meaning universal church not explicitly that from Rome
And not even jesus or apostles had a Bible book . They had torah scrolls and tanakh scrolls . As Jesus read scrolls of issiah in Jewish synagogue 🕍

Universal church from jerusalem then ? Or Maryland 😂
lol fair point, I do think the Catholic Church has a strong claim but I firmly reject any notion that Protestants are heretics
As jerusalem was completely destroyed in 70 ad as Jesus prophesied about destruction of jeruslame and not a stone was left . It tells end of OLD COVENANT (:

Haha I see (:
If you don’t believe in the fundamentals of Christianity you are neither Christian or Protestant
But We shouldn't fight w each other .we all are one in christ
Main enemy of God = Muslims terrorists as they are evil CANANITES
True as well as “liberal” Christian’s churches which are heretical
The main enemy of God is Satan
God calls for us to love our neighbor. He calls for us to show them love.
And to uphold the fruit of the spirit
