More feel-good Protestantism. Juuuuust what the world needs.

[Urran]

I'm Protestant so naturally I attend and watch Protestant events. I haven't any idea about Catholicism or its teachings. I'm in a very Protestant, charismatic more specifically, part of the states.

So basically they're attempting to start a revival in Scandinavia?

Supposedly over 10,000 made the descision to follow Christ so I don't think the word "trying" applies anymore. The same group has visited The Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland with similar turnout and results.

I'm glad that these people are trying to win Europeans over to Christ, especially considering how secular and irreligious Europe seems to be compared to the U.S.

I suppose being heretical is still better than being non-Christian.

Yeah, in some cases

Are we Protestants still referred to as heretics?

If you're not a Catholic, you're a heretic. Just be thankful they can't burn you at the stake anymore.

No you're not a heretic. We might not agree with you on doctrinal things, but you're a brother/sister in Christ nonetheless.

Why would we burn Urran at the stake? They are a member of the Body of Christ, and we love them.

And we're thankful they let us vote these days.

You know "heretic" merely means "incorrect teaching", right?

According to you, Catholics would be heretics as well. It's not that terrible or weighty an accusation.

It's not a word Protestants tend to use. *shrugs*

Dude, the Church has changed since the 1600s

Did you know that during Shakespeare's time, the idea was proposed to have all Catholics wear silly looking hats to allow them to be identified in public. I wonder what that reminds me of...

You do get the historical similarity it has with a certain other event, right?

Yes. Now they merely assume you're going to hell. They don't attempt to bring you closer to it.

It seems strange and invidious to compare an event that occurred before one that happened hundreds of years later in the future.

Yeah, that makes sense. But the similarity still exists

Bring you closer to it? Christianity is a choice, not a requirement. It's requirement to go to heaven, but if you don't believe in that, we won't make you be Christian.
