There were no Protestants before the 16th Century. We now have 40,000 Churches. Before the Protestant Reformation there was ONLY 2 Churches: Catholic and Orthodox. Protestants have existed for 500 years, Catholic/Orthodox for 1,500 years. Everyone used to be Catholic and Orthodox. God's will was to have ONE Church. Protestants beliefs are about Protesting the Catholic Church. God loves all Christians but he has only One true Church. It is visible and not made up of every denomination.

Not exactly a true statement; The Catholic church as it exists today has only existed since the eighth century or so. It started to form with the emperor Constantine. So therefore, we should probably all be Jews in your mind as they were here first. The original Christians were Jews! Read the Bible and find out.

God's one church is made up of Christians with no regard to denomination.

God has NO denomination. Organized religion of any type was created to promote a patriarchal agenda and to control the masses through fear. Sin, hell and satan are all myths of humanity for the purpose of fear-based control by man as well.
