Is protestantism logical?

[ps139]

Luther was a great and logical tool for German princes to use to effect political changes. Also via Luther bankers were now allowed to charge high interest rates.

Then I would say that the lack of a Pope for 200+ years, and the lack of a title for "Pope" Peter ought to be answer enough, as well as the many HUMAN failings of the infallible Popes.

I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying the term used to refer to the office created by Jesus has some impact on its existence?

Also, what do you mean about 200 years?

 

[Dominus Fidelis]

Oops, you added some things...

as well as the many HUMAN failings of the infallible Popes.

It's not "Who got it right", it's "Constantine got it WRONG"

Ok, so here you are making some implication that Constantine created the Papacy? Can you back that up with any historical fact?

Also, you seem to be confused on what it means to be infallible versus impeccable.

Well, lets not write off my question already...

If it comes down to interpretation of Scripture then I ask who has the traditional understanding of Matthew 16:18? And who has the 500 or so year old one.

I would recommend the recants by Augstine for starters. There you will see he refutes the exergises you prescribe to. I believe there is a thesies [sp] avaible on his view of that verse that contains exergises work based on his rules of interpretation. Now if you disagree with his exergises, please could you explain the error in the rules of exergises. IYO and the relative correction and all other scripture your new rules would apply to.

Is the Catholic exergises ava. for this passage yet? Who has reviewed the rules of Greek a NT for the RCC is it safe to assume that would be Ray Brown?


Thank you,

Ummmm...what?

Just a reminder about the topic of this thread:

Is it logical to break away from the historical, pre-existing church, when the Bible forbids schisms and then hold the Bible as your authority?
