Why should Protestants be more Christian than Catholics?

Protestants, by definition, are semi-Christian, because each of the 6,000+ conflicting denominations have rejected various parts of the teaching of the original and true Christian Church, the one Church founded by Jesus Christ, to which He promised "The Holy Spirit will guide you into all truth", and "Whatsoever you bind upon Earth is bound in Heaven", and "He who hears you hears Me". Protestantism demonstrates  what happens when you reject the will of God concerning His followers, which was and still is "that they all may be ONE, even as I and My heavenly Father are ONE". Anyone who reads the Bible should know all of this.

Er...

how is this

>> I mean, no one believed in sola scriptura prior to Martin Luther <<

in any way relevant to this:

>> Why should Protestants be more Christian than Catholics <<

???

I'm guessing

that you're a Catholic

who

like most Catholics

imagines that all Protestants are Lutherans (in doctrine, not in denomination).

Hint: the great majority of Protestants do not subscribe to most of Luther's doctrines.

For example: some of the oldest and largest Protestant denominations have NEVER taught Sola Scriptura.

When did the idea of sola scriptura come into existence? Jesus did not teach it and the apostle Peter did not practice it. The bible canot teach that it is the only world of God? The bible is a compilation of ancient records and did not even exist when the individual records were made. For example, John was not talking about the bible when he said that we should not take away from  the prophecy of this book. He was talking about the book of revelation which by the way was not the last book written.

It is true that the Scribes and Pharisees practiced sola scriptura because they were willing to kill live prophets while holding to their interpretations of the dead ones.

When there is insufficient faith to follow a prophet, God does not send one. These are times when the people determine their own doctrines loosly based on ancient  records written to someone else. But we are assured that prophets will be sent again before the coming of Christ. However, if one came today, most Christians would reject him at their own peril.

"And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers;  For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;"  Epheisians 4:11-14

I don't think we Protestants are any more Christian than Catholics. Not that I could become a Catholic; there are some things in Catholicism I couldn't accept, possibly because I wasn't raised that way. But I don't see our differences as making Catholics any less Christian. 

(I have, lately, developed some suspicions about some of my fellow Protestants. It's starting to look to me as though creationists are shifting toward ideas that make sense only in connection with the ancient Gnostic heresy.) 

But I don't BELIEVE in "sola scriptura" except as Luther originally proposed it: as a basis for resolving a debate, where his opponents were quite capable of not only citing "church tradition" but redefining that tradition to suit their own views, ignoring the many writers in that tradition who supported Luther. 

False. The Christians were always Sola Scriptura. And the first guy to protest against Rome was not Luther. Rome was persecuting and killing the Bible adherent Christians who would not bow to it, long before Luther. The Albigenses, Waldenses (Vaudois), Lollards...etc.... even people not associated with labels, being merely those who put the words of God, over the contrary words of the Vatican, were counted as the enemies of Rome. Jesus did not establish Roman Catholicism, and Peter was not single, nor was he ever a pope. Plenty of Protestant organizations are in bed with Rome. Even a number of so-called protestant churches were made by Freemasons, and Freemasons, the Jesuits, the Knights of Malta -- these are Orders of Rome. Charles Taze Russell (founder and false prophet of the Jehovah's Witnesses), Joseph Smith (founder and false prophet of the Latter-Day Saints/Mormons), Ellen G. White (founder and false prophetess of the Seventh-Day Adventists), Mary Baker Eddy (founder and false prophetess of her Christian Science religion)... these were all Freemasons. The Word-of-Faith movement, especially TBN is sold out to Rome, the Southern Baptist Convention...etc... 

People need to be careful of denominations, because their doctrines do not determine truth, but everyone who claims to be of God, should hold the Bible's teachings as the highest and final authority. True Christians are those who have faith in God, faith in His words, and they don't turn aside to follow other voices, like the cults, but they do as Jesus said and escape from error, so they can walk in the light of the truth, as the truth that Jesus established is the right way to Him, and His correct teachings. If we turn aside from God's words, and instead follow words which cast doubt on His words, and are contrary to His words, then we are like Adam and Eve in the garden of Eden recreating the same mistake, that they made, which gave themselves over to the curse, even separation from God, by their disbelief and rejection of the truth that God had give them. Satan is always behind the desire to misdirect people, but understand though his counterfeits be great in number, their existence does not negate the existence of the genuine article. And His Truth will prevail, and the mountain of lies will be abolished.

Because Protestants priested many of the fallacies of the Catholic Church.

Who cares, it's all mythology anyways.

And I find that hilarious, since Paul said anybody adding to or subtracting from scripture would go to hell.

cOMPARISONS ARE pointless...anyone who is born again will rapture to God when the time comes!!

We cannot find either term in the Bible.
