Identify one important difference between Protestant?

Question

and Catholic theological beliefs or religious practices in the seventeenth century.

Answer 1

Due to the fact that these
Christians use the Protestant Old Testament which is lacking 7 entire books 2 (Tobias, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus/Sirach, Baruch, I Maccabees, and II Maccabees), 3 chapters of Daniel and 6 chapters of Esther may be one of the reasons they ask catholics so many questions.

For the Sola Scriptura this is too bad .
In the 16th c., Luther removed those books from the canon that lent support to orthodox doctrine, relegating them to an appendix. Removed in this way were books that supported such things as:

prayers for the dead (Tobit 12:12; 2 Maccabees 12:39-45),

Purgatory (Wisdom 3:1-7),

intercession of dead saints (2 Maccabees 15:14),

and intercession of angels as intermediaries (Tobit 12:12-15).

The lesson, though, is this: relying on the "Bible alone" is a bad idea; we are not to rely solely on Sacred Scripture to understand Christ's message. While Scripture is "given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" (2 Timothy 3:16-17), it is not sufficient for reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness. It is the Church that is the "pillar and ground of Truth" (1 Timothy 3:15)! Jesus did not come to write a book; He came to redeem us, and He founded a Sacramental Church through His apostles to show us the way. It is to them, to the Church Fathers, to the Sacred Deposit of Faith, to the living Church that is guided by the Holy Spirit, and to Scripture that we must prayerfully look.

Answer 2

the regularly happening variations between the Latter-Say Saints (Mormons) and "classic" Christians have little to do with the Bible (previous and New testomony) as Mormons have self belief the Bible to be the know God so a methods because that's been translated wisely. English speaking Mormons use the King James version. besides the very incontrovertible truth that, we usually settle for the very incontrovertible truth that each and every one the well-known translations have some complications and are not thoroughly committed to the originals. the position we variety with different Christians is about what got here about after the time of Christ, extraordinarily from about the third and fourth centuries on. We remember on a accepted apostasy from the gospel as taught by the Lord, and a fix of the Gospel beginning in 1820.

Answer 3

the catholics believe the pope is the leader of the church, protestants don't. catholics believe Mary is holy, protestants don't. Catholics have the "Hail Mary" and "Our Father" and many other catholic specific prayers. They believe the wine and bread at communion is really the body and blood of christ not just symbols protestants don't. catholics do the sign of the cross, before and after prayers. And catholics believe the sacrements such as confession and baptism and faith to repent, protestants believe baptism and faith as a way to repents. There are many differences between catholic and protestant, and even between the protestants, there are even differences between the roman catholics and the arthodox catholics.

Answer 4

Probably the most fundamental difference was that Catholics believed in salvation by acts, while Protestants believed in salvation by faith.

Other important distinctions: protestants dismissed catholic sacraments such as confession and extreme unction. Protestants encouraged reading and study of the Bible by the lay community, which was at this time very uncommon among Catholics.

Answer 5

The two primary differences between us Catholics and them protestants are: 1. sola scriptura, and 2. sola fidelas.

There are dozens of other minors interpretations and practices, but the Catholics are generally spot on all the time.

Answer 6

The place of the Bishop of Rome [Pope] as the visible head of the church on earth, and the indivisibility of that church
