When one pastors support abortion on humane ground while another support divorce for abuse situations.
How about God's commandments? Who do you really listen to when the Protestant churches cannot even agree among themselves? And most importantly they each claim theirs the TRUE church in the name of Bible.

Protestants believe in personal interpretation.
I used to be a Protestant, I finally decided that I could never trust my eternal salvation on my own personal interpretation, especially when you look around and see so many different personal interpretations leading to different beliefs.
So, after 20 years of study, I investigated the Catholic Church, and while not all Catholics are perfect, and not all Priests are perfect, I find that they have the history of understanding the word of God for the last 2000 years, and have the best authority on it. I cannot ever know all of the languages, times, writing styles etc that it would take to feel like I would really have a grip on the will of God. If you can't do that personally, you have to rely on others. I prefer to rely on the Catholic Church instead of some preacher that has been to theology school for a few years.
Peace and God Bless!

Protestants cover many Churches; Baptist, Evangelical, Pentecostal, Anglican etc. However, some denominations put greater emphasis on the New Testament, neglecting at times that the Ten Commandments are in the Old Testament. Some say that faith is more important than good works in order to achieve salvation. I personally believe that both are important as it is no good in simply believing in God but not obeying Christian principles.

Denominations are man-made institutions. Not one can claim they are perfectly following God - not when they are filled with sinners (everyone who attends church is a sinner).
The Bible is our guide in following a Christlike life. We should always test what the church says, or what the pastor of a church says - comparing it to what GOD says.

protestants..
the name it self, they protested against the Church where every Christian religion came from..the Catholic Church..
they claim that their religion the way to salvation for them to get and invite more believers,.
but the truth is that there is no real religion or the religion on which God really favors...
religion can never save you...
they also use there on understanding and altered many things in ordered to prove there reallness, but its not true...
in fact, evry teachings of them came from Catholicism...
but they refuse to follow the Pope, so the teachings of the pope was not accepted for them.....

Everybody has his own interpretation of the bible. God's commanddments are clear and people are supposed to follow them.

I have yet to see this question answered, even though it's been asked at least 50 times.

Protestants don't always agree with their pastors any more than Catholics always agree with the Pope.
