About Protestantism
Various aspects of Protestantism, including but not limited to views on salvation, Bible versions, history, and denominations.
True Christianity seeks to ensure that all Christian teaching (doctrine) and Christian living is in agreement with Scripture (the Bible). The Protestant Reformation came about with this purpose in mind… an attempt – by many Catholic priests, monks and other Catholics – to reform (correct) the Catholic church to be in line with bible teachings. This is where the expression “Sola Scripturea” com from – which is Latin for Scripture Alone. The teachers and preachers who grew of out this “protestant” movement were protesting against many serious religious issues of their time:
- First and foremost: false teachings about salvation
- False teachings about God, Mary, Jesus and man’s own spiritual condition
- Serious abuses of power in the Catholic leadership
- Morally corrupt church leaders
