Default Is Protestantism a myth?

I mean, if you're not going to change any of the Catholic dogma (i.e. trinities, etc.) then you might as well have kept the Pope!

Tell that to the Greek Orthodox Church -- they never had a pope either.

Actually, there are other theological differences between the Roman Catholic and Protestant denominations besides the issue of Papal Supremacy.

-------------edit-----

Yes "Yo Yo Mama", I know, but Greek Orthodox never recognized the supremacy of the Bishop of Rome, so your point seems irrelevant. Protestant denominations have their own leaders too. You seem to assume too much.

It's the same "Spirit of Rebellion" that has caused protestantism to subsequently splinter into thousands of sects.

And Randy, you do know the Orthodox Church has patriarchs and metropolitan, right?

typical atheist talk. it is either all or nothing with you guys, unless you're talking about science. just like how atheists claim that if 1 minute detail in the bible may need further explaining, it is all garbage. however, if science is off 45% of the time, that means it is right more often than not!!!!

denominational Christianity is a myth - there is only One Christ and His group of true followers

The reason for the reformation and Luther's 95 thesis was that Roman Catholicism had gone away from the Biblical teachings concerning salvation. They believe in salvation, justification and sanctification by works and the selling of indulgences. That was Luther's and the reformers beef with Catholicism. The trinity is Biblical, not Catholic dogma.

It wasn't the dogmas, it WAS the pope that was the problem.

The problem that Martin Luther faced at the beginning of the Reformation was the corruption that had spread through the Catholic church of his day. If you read up on the history of the Reformation you'll see what happened. The greatest benefit of the Reformation was that the Bible was translated in to the language of the common man, so everyone could read it, not just the clergy.

Myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes, if people still believe it is not a myth. The Church of England did the same thing, kept the Catholic dogma got rid of the pope. It is very difficult to see the Pope as infallible, he is just a man, and I believe just like every other man subject to making mistakes.
