Catholic vs. Protestant – why is there so much animosity?"

[fhansen]

I think the reason for all the angst between the Latins and the Reformationists is because the Reformation was birthed illegitimately by the Latins who were an apostatic Ekklesiological Mother Who persecuted Her own children, who in turn persecuted Her...

I never tire of telling the Latins:"These are YOUR children - Why do they hate you so much?"
And I sigh at always having to tell the Reformists:
"The Orthodox Faith is your Grandmother,
we are not your Mother..."
In their spiteful anger, Reformists think the Eastern Orthodox believe as the Latins believe...

Most of the Reformers reject much of what both the EO and RCC teach.

Let's accept that that is one reason at least....
so then,
the solution is for everyone to "repent" - TURN TO YHWH , as Jesus Says,
and learn to live under YHWH, in YHWH's Kingdom,
instead of any other kingdom.

No sir I do not need to do anything at all. It is recorded history for any and all who want to know.

Yet when I asked you where I could find this so called "recorded history", you wouldn't or couldn't answer.

IF you choose to do that it is fine with me. If you choose NOT TO do that, that is just as fine with me because which ever one you choose, neither change the outcome.

So you intend to keep posting blatant falsehood?

I have to agree with you sir

 

[redleghunter]

So now then you'd agree with post #812 that the RCC is being deceptive by omitting the word "alone". Or might you even, perhaps, perceive a fair bit of ignorance/indoctrination at work in the poster there?

Did you read the quoted from Chyrsostom?

Did you read it? I read and found that he was not reliably truthful enough to use as a reference.

Much less than what is popularly claimed. The magisterial reformers had far more in common with the RCC and EO than most of today's Protestants for one thing. Much of today's Protestantism would be entirely unrecognizeable by 16th century standards and almost certainly be classified by the Reformers as incomprehensible fanaticism. Luther thought Zwingli was a fanatic, and Zwingli and Luther agreed on a great deal--more than certainly either would with much of today's Protestantism.

The problem is that people are way to eager to confuse modern popular Protestantism with the Reformers themselves and with the Reformation itself. I remember growing up that I thought Martin Luther was basically a Baptist, because of the way Luther was spoken about in my Evangelical upbringing.

You show me that you have not thought through the deep things, but like most evangelicals only remain at the surface level.

What about the Holy Spirit convicts us of sin (John 16:8) and righteousness is so vexing to accept?

Do we not come to Communion in repentance and with a humble heart? Do we not pray daily telling our Heavenly Father our shortcomings, our failures for missing the mark. Are these not opportunities daily individually and weekly Bodily with the ekklesia to lay it all at the Sanctifying love and Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ?

I will point out where the disconnect might occur.

We must ask whose or Whose righteousness gains us entry into Christ's Kingdom. Is it His? Ours? A mix?

If it is our own then no matter of fire will cleanse our sins and we deny the Blood of Christ cleanses us from all sin.

Please cashier the antinomian apologetics. No one is buying them by the responses you are getting.

 

[redleghunter]

Christ and we believe in Christ

Indeed.

And it is His righteousness the Father sees when looking upon us His adopted children.

 

[redleghunter]

Someone had posted that God always accomplishes His Will, not remembering perhaps that in some towns He visited, He could not do many miracles because of their unbelief (same on forum, and many places on earth).

Thanks for mentioning this. Christ also said an adulterous generation seeks a sign.
