| | Protestantism - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Protestants believed that the Roman Catholic church obscured the teaching of the Bible, and undermined its authority, by following Tradition, regardless of whether it over-ruled or added to the doctrines of Scripture. | | | Protestants who are not members of the Church of England are commonly called non-conformists. | | | Protestants often refer to specific Protestant churches and groups as denominations to imply that they are differently named parts of the whole church. |

| | Protestantism |
| | Protestants allow for many styles of church government, from the episcopal, where bishops rule, to the congregational, which acknowledges no earthly authority beyond the local. | | | Paul Tillich regarded "the Protestant principle" as "the prophetic judgment against religious pride, ecclesiastical arrogance and secular self - sufficiency and their destructive consequences." This was nobly exemplified in the Barmen Declaration of the Confessing Church in Nazi Germany ("Confessing" here being a good modern synonym of sixteenth century "Protestant"). | | | Protestants look elsewhere for the authority of their faith. |

| | Protestant - Uncyclopedia |
| | Protestants see the Bible, which they believe was written by God, as a pretty reliable source of information, at least on theological matters. | | | There are three protestant dogmas: -There is no dogma -Church service is on 10 o'clock -Everyone is unfaillible, the Pope excepted -God loves Mr. | | | This is in contrast to atheists, who believe that God does not exist, anatheists, who believe that God is a pathological liar, anesthetists who believe we should feel no pain, and Catholics, who, though they see said Protestants' point, maintain that you can only go so far in trusting information from any source. |

| | protestant |
| | Most Protestant churches believe in the Holy Trinity: God, the Father (also referred to as Maker); Christ (who is considered to be both man and God, as in Biblical reference to 'the word became flesh and dwelt among us'; and the Holy Spirit (also referred to as the Holy Ghost). | | | Protestants and Catholics share many common holy days, though few Protestant churches celebrate Saints' Days which are common in the Catholic churches. | | | The term Protestant refers to the historical religious origins with the Catholic churches. |

| | Protestant or Catholic? |
| | Indeed, for the Protestant, the emphasis on personal trust in the atoning act of the cross is so deep, that he or she prefers not to call his "tradition" a religion. | | | PROTESTANT VIEW: Protestants believe that election is God's calling to salvation, and while it is a free gift to those who receive it, it may not even be offered to those who would reject it. | | | Protestants do believe with Roman Catholics that there is a proper way of speaking of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. |

| | Sola Scriptura |
| | Protestants in search of theological sanity, of true worship, and of the ancient Christian Faith are practically beating on our Church doors (of course to those who are not paying attention, this may sound like a strange claim). | | | Protestants frequently claim they "just believe the Bible," but a number of questions arise when one examines their actual use of the Bible. | | | Though there is no singular Protestant method of exegesis, they all have as their supposed goal to "let the Scripture speak for itself." Of course no one claiming to be Christian could be against what the Scripture would "say" if it were indeed "speaking for itself" through these methods. |

| | Protestant Scholasticism |
| | The theology of this branch of Protestant scholasticism was, as in the case of Gerhard, dependent on scriptural evidences and Aristotelian logic. | | | Protestant theologians, especially the Calvinists, could use scholastic methods to inquire beyond biblical texts into the intricacies and implications of Protestant theology, especially when election and the will of God were considered. | | | Reliance on logical methods derived from Greek and Roman authors was purged from sixteenth century educational insititutions. |

| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Protestantism |
| | However vague and indefinite the creed of individual Protestants may be, it always rests on a few standard rules, or principles, bearing on the Sources of faith, the means of justification, and the constitution of the Church. | | | The new form of social and religious order, which is the residue of the great Protestant upheaval in Europe, is territorial or State Religion — an order based on the religious supremacy of the temporal ruler, in contradistinction to the old order in which the temporal ruler took an oath of obedience to the Church. | | | People are said to be Catholics, Protestants, Mahommedans, Pagans "by birth", because the environment in which they are born invariably endows them with the local religion long before they are able to judge and choose for themselves. |

| | ProtestantErrors.com - The plain truth about Protestantism |
| | Some Protestants, in defense of the invisible Church theory, have claimed that there are two Churches; one visible and imperfect Church made of its members (which can err and are called "reprobate"), and one invisible and perfect Church made of the "elect" that only God knows (which cannot err). | | | Some Protestants may try and claim their church was around before the 16th century and to them we ask, where was your Protestant church before the 16th century, what was it called, was it called by the same name, and who in history claimed to be a part of it? | | | We ask the Protestant denominations, if your church be the true church, please show us the prophets from your church as the Catholic Church can from any given point over the last 2000 years. |

| | The Protestant churches, which initially kept liturgical forms and music that were consistent with Roman liturgics, gradually saw many of the forms change over time as theology and doctrine itself changed in Western Europe. | | | Within forty years of the Reformation, many Protestant sects had created entirely new and different liturgies which were in harmony with the newly defined theology and doctrine. | | | Within a short time after the beginning of the Reformation, many Protestant denominations rejected liturgical worship along with sacramentality and adopted a different ethos and approach to worship. |

| | We Protestants sense a deeper unity with our Catholic brothers and sisters than we once felt, and we recognize more clearly than we once did the extent to which we share a common faith in the triune God who has been revealed most plainly in Jesus Christ, the Son of God and our Savior. | | | Traditional squeamishness about the Blessed Virgin among Protestants, stemming no doubt from the way she is revered among some Catholics, seems to have been replaced by a freedom to examine Mary's presence in Scripture and to take more seriously her unique place in Christian history and theology. |

| | 17th century Protestants, already familiar with the topos of vanity, embraced stoic detachment, discovered, as had Meister Eckehart before them, detachment’s proximity to such other virtues as constancy and fortitude, and produced some beautiful poetry on the subject; many of their religious hymns are still found in church hymnals the world over. | | | On the contrary, by appointing the individual Protestant rulers heads of their regional churches, he made the Protestant Church a pillar of the state. | | | The ruler’s legitimacy is derived not from the will of the people but from the grace of God who installed secular government to be his arm and instrument. |

| | Protestantism - religious cults, sects and movements |
| | The chief characteristics of original Protestantism were the acceptance of the Bible as the only source of infallible revealed truth, the belief in the universal priesthood of all believers, and the doctrine that a Christian is justified in his relationship to God by faith alone, not by good works or dispensations of the church. | | | The doctrine that the individual conscience is the valid interpreter of Scripture led to a wide variety of Protestant sects; this fragmentation was further extended by doctrinal disputes within the sects notably over grace, predestination, and the sacraments. | | | Under the influence of romanticism, which stressed the subjective element in religion rather than the revelation of the Bible, the formal systems of early Protestant theology began to dissolve; this doctrine was best expressed by Friedrich Schleiermacher, who placed religious feeling at the center of Christian life. |

| | Whereas the Roman Church appealed to men and women as members of a group (i.e., members of the Church), Lutheranism meant that faith was now something individual, and this would have profound consequences.. | | | In other words, it can be said that the wealthy followed Luther as a form of protest against the Church. | | | His answer was that it was these men who were also Calvinists, men who had internalized the religious code set down first by Calvin and then by the Puritans of 17th century England. |
