Hi Blogger Insiders,
Protestantism was started in the early 1500's by Martin Luther, a defrocked Roman Catholic priest. After defacing a Catholic Cathedral door by nailing his thesis paper to it, Luther set himself up against the Holy Catholic Church.
The Holy Catholic Church was divinely founded by Christ Jesus the Lord, the Son of God, 2000 years ago. The protestant religion was started by Martin Luther (a defrocked Catholic priest) 500 years ago. So I say to protestants: Don't belong to a religion started by Luther, Calvin, or Smyth and Wesley, or any of the others. They are just men. I will never belong to a religion started by man. Belong instead to the Holy Catholic Religion because it was founded by God Himself (hence the Holy part).
God doesn't like rebellion against Him: 1) Lucifer rebelled and he got kicked out of Heaven. 2) Adam and Eve rebelled and they got kicked out of the Garden of Eden. 3) Martin Luther rebelled and he got kicked out of the Church. The message is stop rebelling against God. God has legitimate authority and He grants this to His Church. The Holy Spirit guides the Holy Catholic Church and has done so for 2000 years.
It is through the Holy Spirit that the Holy Catholic Church authentically interprets the Holy Bible. The protestants believe that the (their) Bible is the supreme authority in spiritual matters. I'm just going to come right out and say this: The Catholic Church wrote the Holy Bible (the New Testament). That is to say, the New Testament was written by Catholics inspired by God. The Old Testament was written by Hebrews inspired by God. No part of the Holy Bible was written by protestants, inspired by God or otherwise. The Holy Bible was eventually mass produced thanks to the German Catholic Johannes Gutenberg, who invented the printing press. The protestants, arriving on the scene in the 1500's, promptly threw out seven (7!) books out of the Holy Bible. That is the protestant contribution to the Holy Bible. Protestantism is a heresy.
In the final analysis, the protest-ants, having accomplished their protest-ant rebellion against God's Holy Church, have caused injury and disunity in Christendom. There are now countless thousands of protestant sects. But happily there is still just One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. Come back to the Church. Come back to the Holy Sacraments of the Church. Christ Jesus, Our Blessed Lord, founded the Holy Catholic Church and He Himself has instituted the Holy Sacraments of His Church. Avail yourself of these, and live.
God Bless you,
In Christ the King,
Michael the Lionheart
