Protestantism

And these two branches, Catholic and Orthodox, we do not believe in rapture.

This is only taught in Protestantism with all love and respect.

I'll just say this very, very quickly, and then it's up to you if you want to accept it or not.

I'll leave you with the Lord and His Holy Spirit.

There's no other divides to be had.

Right? You can't have fucking Catholics and Protestants.

We can't have...

We can't have Hindus and Shintos.

With the Ottomans fended off, the Habsburgs wasted little time in redesigning Vienna's defences, and by the end of the 16th century, the city would be one of Europe's strongest fortress cities.

1618 saw the outbreak of the most destructive conflict in early modern Europe, the Thirty Years' War, which saw the Catholic Habsburgs challenged by anti-Habsburg and Protestant enemies.

Although Vienna was not in the direct front line, it would serve as the nerve centre for the Catholic imperial war effort.

The Holy Roman Empire We mentioned that the Frankish King Charlemagne invaded the land surrounding Vienna in 803.

Under their great ruler, Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent, the Ottomans would advance on Vienna for the first time.

And as we learned earlier, the Habsburgs resisted the siege, sending the Ottomans back to their homelands empty-handed.

Domestic problems still continued so by the middle of the 16th century Charles V had to recognise Lutheranism within his empire or risk persistent armed conflict with Protestant princes.

From 1555 each imperial prince would be allowed to choose Catholicism or Lutheranism for their territory and those who were not happy with what their prince decided would be told to emigrate.

Jay looked like he handled it very easy.

I mean, he's a Protestant, right? It's going to revert back to interpretation of scripture, relativism, preferences, ahistoricity, like that type of stuff.

So they kind of go in the same rigmarole every time.

Wood is just low tier, for sure.

Disgusting.

Absolutely disgusting.

Patrick threw in, Tim Buck says, please pray for me as I struggle with marriage and leaving the Protestant church to inquire orthodoxy.

Will do, brother.

These teenagers, the minute their boss leaves and gives them a big to-do list, they're all just hanging out, sun tanning.

Maybe Jason, maybe the moral reason they're going to be murdered is because they don't have a Protestant work ethic.

The actor who dove in with Kevin Bacon had a beautiful dive and then Kevin Bacon essentially just belly flopped into the water.

It was incredible.

You just Google his name, Carlo, K-A-R-L-O, and then put sacred tradition in parentheses to find it.

But he points out that there are certain controverted passages in Scripture, you know, like does baptism, is it merely an ordinance or is it really, as many Protestants believe, is it merely an ordinance or Or is there really baptismal regeneration as the Catholic Church has taught for 20 centuries? And in addition to that, that even the original Protestant reformers practiced infant baptism.

There's the issue of what is the authority, you know, of Matthew 16, 18 to 19 and other passages regarding the power to buy in and lose in Peter giving keys.

What does that say about the authoritative structure of the church? The issue of John 6, is it purely a symbol or do we receive our Lord's body and blood, soul and divinity? Is that the one sacrifice of Calvary that culminated in everlasting glory? Is it sacramentally represented anew every time we have Mass? These are all issues.

I want to greatly encourage everyone to take a read so that we can think about sacred tradition rightly.

So, Tom, I think another thing that many people don't realize is we might have a reductionistic view that there's two canons of Scripture.

So the Catholics say there's 73 books, and the Protestants say there's 66 books, and that's about it.

The truth is, even the 66-book canon is debated among those who don't belong to the Catholic sphere.

Welcome to day one.

Welcome to Day One, the weekly program that brings you outstanding preachers from America's historic Protestant churches, sharing insight and inspiration from God's Word for your life.

Hello friends, I'm your host, Reverend Dr. Katie Givens Kime.

And today on day one, we are so honored to welcome the Right Reverend J. Neil Alexander, THD, a Bishop of the Episcopal Church and the custodian of the Standard Book of Common Prayer for the entire denomination.

It's been wonderful to be a part of this again.

And I look forward to staying in touch with the whole day one community.

You've been listening to Day One, the voice of America's mainline Protestant churches for 80 years proclaiming God's hope to a hurting and divided world.

80 years is a whole lot of Sundays, and we're grateful to God for every one.

And I told both of them, who are both in very competitive races, I'm like, you know what? The only places I see that have a ton of Republican enthusiasm right now is the church crowd.

Every church I go by, as you mentioned, Catholic, Protestant, Mormon, you name it, they've got signs out.

It's in their sermons.

It's in the homily.
