Why Chistian and Catholic had different cultures in praising God, and why they had conflicts?

Answer 1

The Catholic Church is the church founded by Jesus Christ. All other Christian denominations are breakaway groups.

The true Church is the one founded by Jesus Christ. That happens to be the Catholic Church. It is the only Church that can prove a direct and unbroken line of succession from Jesus Christ to St. Peter up to the present pope.

The first Christians had no doubts about how to determine which was the true Church and which doctrines the true teachings of Christ. The test was simple: Just trace the apostolic succession of the claimants. Apostolic succession is the line of bishops stretching back to the apostles. All over the world, all Catholic bishops are part of a lineage that goes back to the time of the apostles, something that is impossible in Protestant denominations (most of which do not even claim to have bishops). The role of apostolic succession in preserving true doctrine is illustrated in the Bible. To make sure that the apostles’ teachings would be passed down after the deaths of the apostles, Paul told Timothy, "[W]hat you have heard from me before many witnesses entrust to faithful men who will be able to teach others also" (2 Tim. 2:2). In this passage he refers to the first three generations of apostolic succession—his own generation, Timothy’s generation, and the generation Timothy will teach.

The Church Fathers, who were links in that chain of succession, regularly appealed to apostolic succession as a test for whether Catholics or heretics had correct doctrine. This was necessary because heretics simply put their own interpretations, even bizarre ones, on Scripture. Clearly, something other than Scripture had to be used as an ultimate test of doctrine in these cases. Thus the early Church historian J. N. D. Kelly, a Protestant, writes, "[W]here in practice was [the] apostolic testimony or tradition to be found? . . . The most obvious answer was that the apostles had committed it orally to the Church, where it had been handed down from generation to generation. . . . Unlike the alleged secret tradition of the Gnostics, it was entirely public and open, having been entrusted by the apostles to their successors, and by these in turn to those who followed them, and was visible in the Church for all who cared to look for it" (Early Christian Doctrines, 37). For the early Fathers, "the identity of the oral tradition with the original revelation is guaranteed by the unbroken succession of bishops in the great sees going back lineally to the apostles. . . . [A]n additional safeguard is supplied by the Holy Spirit, for the message committed was to the Church, and the Church is the home of the Spirit. Indeed, the Church’s bishops are . . . Spirit-endowed men who have been vouchsafed ‘an infallible charism of truth’" (ibid.). Thus on the basis of experience the Fathers could be "profoundly convinced of the futility of arguing with heretics merely on the basis of Scripture. The skill and success with which they twisted its plain meaning made it impossible to reach any decisive conclusion in that field" (ibid., 41).

Pope Clement I"Through countryside and city [the apostles] preached, and they appointed their earliest converts, testing them by the Spirit, to be the bishops and deacons of future believers. Nor was this a novelty, for bishops and deacons had been written about a long time earlier. . . . Our apostles knew through our Lord Jesus Christ that there would be strife for the office of bishop. For this reason, therefore, having received perfect foreknowledge, they appointed those who have already been mentioned and afterwards added the further provision that, if they should die, other approved men should succeed to their ministry" (Letter to the Corinthians 42:4–5, 44:1–3 [A.D. 80])
Peace and every blessing!

Answer 2

Of course there were non catholics long before Luther... such as the Moravians... and the movie First Fuits on the Moravians is super!!!

on the subject of Luther...I definitely recommend the movie Luther 2005 I think... as far as Martin Luther is concerned.. and no... he did not do it because he wanted to get married... but married he eventually did... as St Peter was... and put a bowling alley in the monetary..how cool is that??

The answer as far as the differences...
this will depend on the person... but some generalizations are:

Conservative protestants and reformed protestants tend to be more word oriented, scripture oriented and perhaps less visual
In general they tend to emphasize faith and works as a fruit and vindication of saving faith
I tend to think saving faith comes when one glorifies God, leaning on the work of Jesus on the cross, believing for eternal life and being changed

as a not necessarily reliable rule of thumb Catholics tend to be more tradition driven, more visual in worship They tend to have some traditions protestants would find hard to defend scripturally like some of the practices and views of Mary beyond what is in the scriptures
Some people would be concerned some Catholic worship practices might lead to gospel substitues or God substitutes, praying to something other than God, trusting in something other than the cross

Liberal protestants test to draw ideas from the prevailing norms of the world and not from either tradition or scripture

Some protestants are more experiential and might tend to sometimes put experiences above the sciptures

these are only generalizations

Answer 3

Catholics are Christians. You probably mean Protestants and Catholics. They believe in having saints and that Mary was sinless. They have 7 sacraments while Protestants have 2 and priests are celibate. Catholic churches have statues and believe the Eucharist is the true body of Christ. The beliefs are the same is just a different way of worshipping.

Answer 4

it really boils down to one man. A catholic priest, by the name of Martin Luther, resented having made a vow of celibacy, and wanted to get married and have children. That was the start. The rest, as they say, is history. I am serious. Protestants will dismiss this fact, and will bring up issues such as, "Faith Alone" and "Scripture as the sole Authority and private interpretation thereof," abuse of indulgences, et al. But the reality is that many catholic clergy had the same concerns as Luther, but chose to remain in the Church. The real difference was that Luther developed a rabid hatred towards the authority of the Pope for having forbade him from getting married. Simple as that.

Answer 5

Most, but certainly not all, protestant Christian sects came out of the Roman Church, doctrinal differences were the most pronounced cause. Politics had a lot to do with it as well, Rome has never been the sole power base of Christian thought and practice, the Orthodox Church never yielded to Rome, and over the years, France and England both declared 'independence' by creating their own 'Pope'. The Anglican church of England remains even now.

Answer 6

Christianity has many different denominations. Catholicism is one of them.
Each denomination has their own traditional set of values and each one very jealously guards those traditions, which causes friction and fighting between denominations, claiming to have the "real" set of beliefs.
It's a petty fight but the fundamentalists seem to enjoy the spat.

Answer 7

We have different cultures because we have 2 different philosophies when it comes to God. Catholics believe that church tradition is equal in authority to Scripture. That is what allows them adopt so many unscriptural things and make it a part of their lives and religious practices.

Christians on the other hand believe only in the authority of Scripture and the power of Jesus to lead his church.

Answer 8

It's call traditions. The catholic's believe that they are the frist and only right church there is.
Christians argue the fact that our church is inside of us where Jesus is.
To be quit frank with you. Let's save that one for God when we meet him someday.
