Catholics VS Protestants Debate Thread

[abaris]

Catholics place aborted fetuses on altars as a prop for political gain. 

Oh, for fuck's sake. Do we have to open that can once again? Not that this thread has any value, given the probable intent of OP, but do we really have to drag abortion kicking and screaming into every thread these days?

Literally, abaris. They literally do that now.

Do they now? What about those fundamentalist protestant politicians calling for a full scale burial for aborted fetuses? To guilt shame the aborting woman a little bit more and maybe bankrupt them on the side.

And that's all I'm going to say on the matter before this thread goes down the abortion shitter also.

This is not about abortion. It's about a catholic priest using a fetus as a prop for political gain to support Trump.

Wait, abort, abort, abort!

How much mental energy do you waste in a day in constant negativity?

[Iroscato]

You're both fucking wrong, in equal measure.

Because the action of one nut job reflects on the religious ideology itself and its other millions of members.   Though I'm thinking this might have been meant to be a joke.

Yep, joke on/about Sugar Tits/Eddy Baby. If it's in the recent news sometimes I can't resist, appropriate or not.

I think it's neat!

Welcome to the Catholic VS Protestant Discussion Thread on atheist forum! This thread is all about debating which form of Christianity is true, Catholic or Protestant. Feel free to discuss any topic relating to Catholicism or Protestantism(all denominations 33,000+ Welcome!)for or against arguments.
I Catholic will start this off. Questions Catholics usually ask protestants. There’s more to it than just these.
·        If Jesus intended for Christianity to be exclusively a “religion of the book,” why did He wait 1400 years before showing somebody how to build a printing press?
·        If Christianity is a “book religion,” how did it flourish during the first 1500 years of Church history when the vast majority of people were illiterate?
·        Where did Jesus give instructions that the Christian faith should be based exclusively on a book?  The Doctrine of Sola Scriptura is not taught anywhere in the Bible.
·        Where in the New Testament do the apostles tell future generations that the Christian faith will be based solely on a book?
·        Where in the Bible do we find an inspired and infallible list of books that should belong in the Bible? (e.g., Is the Bible’s Table of Contents inspired?)
·        some Protestants claim that Jesus condemned all oral tradition (e.g., Matt 15:3, 6; Mark 7:813). If so, why does He bind His listeners to oral tradition by telling them to obey the scribes and Pharisees when they “sit on Moses’ seat” (Matt 23:2)? 5) Some Protestants claim that St. Paul condemned all oral tradition (Col 2:8). If so, why does he tell the Thessalonians to “stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, whether by word of mouth or by letter” (2 Thes 2:15) and praises the Corinthians because they “hold firmly to the traditions” (1 Cor 11:2)?
·        If the meaning of the Bible is so clear—so easily interpreted—and if the Holy Spirit leads every Christian to interpret it for themselves, then why are there over 33,000 Protestant denominations, and millions of individual Protestants, all interpreting the Bible differently?
·        If the Bible is the only foundation and basis of Christian truth, why does the Bible itself say that the Church is the pillar and foundation of truth (1 Tim. 3:15)?
·        Who in the Church had the authority to determine which books belonged in the New Testament canon and to make this decision binding on all Christians? If nobody has this authority, then can I remove or add books to the canon on my own authority? Scriptura, why do the creeds of the early Church always say “we believe in the Holy Catholic Church,” and not “we believe in Holy Scripture”?
·        If the Bible is as clear as Martin Luther claimed, why was he the first one to interpret it the way he did and why was he frustrated at the end of his life that “there are now as many doctrines as there are heads”?

Give me some time to respond, pretty busy the rest of today, should have my reply by sometime tomorrow.

No rush, I'll see you in a few weeks time.

Really?

The fuckers aren't known for their sense of humor.
