The Renaissance started in the 1300s.
The reformation started in the 1500s.
The reformation did not cause the renaissance.
Protestants ruined Christianity.
Protestants are literally retarded and gay.
Most of today's problems can be traced back to the reformation.
God had to call Joseph Smith to stop the damage that the protestants were causing.
You can't refute this because you know it is true.
SOLA SCRIPTURE, SOLA FIDE, and all the other SOLA's are complete and utter lies. Ask any Catholic, they've been trying to tell you protestants this for centuries now. Maybe you should pay a little attention to what they have to say hummm?

You better go edit every single website on the Internet, then, because that’s not what is said by anyone who matters.
>Protestants ruined Christianity.
Said the papist worshipping a human woman.
>Most of today's problems can be traced back to the reformation.
Good goy. Keep up the D&C. Don’t even pretend to attack the actual source of the problems. It’s definitely not the jews. Just lie about your white brothers (you’re not white, though, are you) and kill each other more!
>God had to call Joseph Smith to stop the damage that the protestants were causing.
Oh wait, you’re a polygamist? No wonder you’re so wrong about everything else.
>You can't refute this because you know it is true.
Where are the emerald tablets, Knuckles? Are you hiding them from Dr. Robotnik? “Trust me, bro” is not an argument.
>SOLA SCRIPTURE, SOLA FIDE, and all the other SOLA's are complete and utter lies. Ask any Catholic
Why would I ask heretics about the heresy they invented?
>they've been trying to tell you protestants this for centuries now.
The Bible already told me otherwise millennia before.
>Maybe you should pay a little attention to what they have to say
I don’t give a fuck what admitted heretics have to say. Why should I listen to someone who tells me to worship a human woman when the Bible says not to do that? Why should I listen to someone who says to obey the orders of men when the Bible says not to do that? Why should I listen to someone who tells me he can absolve my sin when the Bible says only Christ can do that?
Maybe *you* should be crucified. Then you can absolve me, right?
Christendom needs hierarchical structure on Earth to maintain doctrine, otherwise you wind up with "trans women pastors” claiming they’re Christian and “saved.” The only thing for which they’re saved is the woodpile. But the structure of the papacy is *long* corrupted–centuries ago–and bears no resemblance to Christian doctrine anymore.
Neither does the word 'Bible', 'Trinity', or many other concepts still universally recognized by all Christians everywhere. Seeing as how the Bible itself wasn't compiled until almost a millennia and a half from the time of Jesus, and as of today still, a*majority* of Christianity's time here on earth was spent *without* the Bible, this is not the critique protestants generally think it is to anybody tradition-minded. And while we're on the subject, I'm curious to hear your answer. Seeing as how no earthly authority is to be trusted, and since Jesus didn't leave the disciples with a completed copy of the KJV when He ascended into Heaven, who decided what should and shouldn't be in the Bible and why should we accept that as Canon then?
>Padres don’t absolve sin; Christ does
Guess Jesus should have clarified that to the Apostles before sending them out on missions to preach and forgive people their sins, then.
>Christendom needs hierarchical structure on Earth to maintain doctrine
Oh, I couldn't agree more. I'm curious now, what makes you dislike the Orthodox church then? Their hierarchy isn't quite as strict and rigid but it's still far superior to anything else.
>But the structure of the papacy is long corrupted
You'll get no argument from me there. But cutting and running in the face of adversity is never the solution. Should we abandon our nations because the jew has subverted and corrupted them too?

>Seeing as how the Bible itself wasn't compiled until almost a millennia and a half from the time of Jesus
You mean… “no more than 300 years later” right? Since when was the Bible finalized in the 1500s?
>who decided what should and shouldn't be in the Bible and why should we accept that as Canon then?
Rome being in apostasy *now* ≠ Rome being in apostasy *then.* I have nothing but respect for the early church fathers.
>Guess Jesus should have clarified that to the Apostles

>I'm curious now, what makes you dislike the Orthodox church then?
The fact that they consider certain objects, locations, and people to have in them more of the presence of God than others. That’s shaky theological ground.
>But cutting and running in the face of adversity is never the solution. Should we abandon our nations because the jew has subverted and corrupted them too?
When the ‘nation’ in question was burning them at the stake for exposing that corruption…
Perhaps I should clarify. It was with the advent of the printing press that the completed Bible was distributed far beyond the Churches themselves, and made it much more open to "interpretation" by people who had no business doing so.
>Rome being in apostasy now ≠ Rome being in apostasy then. I have nothing but respect for the early church fathers.
The entity founded by those very same Church fathers is still in operation today, in some places of the country. Even the occasional mainline Catholic church still practices the old ways, but there are some valiant splinter groups such as the SSPX still carrying on the true Faith. But rest assured, this is not the end. The true Faith will be restored for all someday. Our modern woes are only temporary.
>The fact that they consider certain objects, locations, and people to have in them more of the presence of God than others
Well that's just the truth. Relics, holy sites, and the saints or the Holy Ones of God by *default* have to have at least some stronger degree of the presence of God in them.
>When the ‘nation’ in question was burning them at the stake for exposing that corruption…
I do think that the early protestant reformers had the best of intentions at heart. But their main problem was the sheer amount of division and disunity they created, which brought about unimaginable consequences that are blatantly visible in the world around us today. Lack of trust in Christian authority, lack of trust in the Christian system, lack of trust in the Christian scriptures. Remove the mortar holding the brick wall together and it will invariably crumble. While I would prefer not to see it at all, I would have still rather seen good people burned at the stake than the complete inversion and destruction of Christendom. One of the main causes for the complete abandonment of God and the ongoing destruction in the modern "christian" system is as a result of this. It is no coincidence that the judeo-bolsheviks *self-testified* that the united methodists were the easiest organization to subvert and lead astray while the Knights of Columbus were the hardest.

Though I’ve never been a big trinitarian
Do I think Mary doesn’t deserve to be respected? Of course not. But I get a little bit weirded out with the prayers…and the rosaries…and the prayer beads…and the way she’s almost referred to like the pagan goddess Astarte/Ishtar/whatever other local name she had. Do not worship Baal…
Do you have sources to refute this?
