The
wound the church (the christian head) received at the hand of the
protestants is healed.
When it is said “Head” is religion,
it sound foreign to most religious people. These same people have no
problem saying “the wounded head is the Papacy!”
They have no question when calling the
wounded head the Papacy. However they do not link the wounded head
with the Christian religion. They do not link the Papacy as head of
the Christian religion. Yet they embrace the idea they are
Protestants. Protestants! Really? Protestants? What are they
protesting?
What is a Protestant?
The
English word 'Protestant' comes from the Latin and is made up from
two words, pro-for, and testari-witness. And it has come to mean to
write or speak strongly against.
In the spring of 1529 a.d.,
the Roman Catholic and Lutheran Princes of Germany were gathered at
the second Diet of Speyer. With the help of the catholic majority,
Ferdinand of Austria succeeded in enacting a measure forbidding any
'further' changes in the religious constitution of the states, and
demanding full rights of property and worship for the Catholics in
the Protestant territories, while denying it to Protestants in the
Catholic states.
Unable to veto the decision, the princes of
the six Lutheran states and fourteen free cities drew up their famous
"protestati". They presented it to the Emperor Charles V,
the brother of Ferdinand, on April 19 and by this action earned for
themselves a noble name that has been adopted by a large section of
Christendom ever since-Protestant.
The
three fundamental doctrines are:
The Protestant goes directly to the word of God for instructions, and
to the throne of grace in his/her devotion; while the pious Roman
Catholic consults the teachings of his/her church, and prefers to
offer prayers through the mediums of the virgin Mary and
Saints.
(Note here that the bible teaches that the dead know not
anything and Necromancy, the talking or praying to the dead, is an
abomination Ps.106:28; Col.2:8).
From this general
principle of
evangelical freedom, and direct individual relationship of the
believer to Christ, comes the three fundamental doctrines of
Protestantism: 1.) The Bible only 2.) by Grace only 3.) the general
Priesthood of believers.-
The New Schaff-Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge, vol.IV page 419. (http://www.come2jesus.com.au/protestant.htm)
Each of the Protestant denominations believes they have the key on Righteousness. They do not see their denomination as part of the Christian Religion and therefore part of the wounded head. They do not associate the Protest as the wounding of the head. Neither do they connect the healing of the wounded head with the Protestants also adhering to error in their basic doctrines and teachings of faith. However, today, with the Bible wide open in the hands of both Catholics and Protestants, they are both adhering to error. Therefore the wound the church (the christian head) received at the hand of the protestants is healed.
