Why do Protestants have Such a Different view on Rules?

In the Catholic mind, if something isn't enforced and you're not forced to do it, it's optional whether it's cultural or not. In the Protestant mind, if it's in the culture you have to do it.

In the Catholic mind, if something isn't banned you can do it. In the Protestant mind, if something isn't permitted explicitly you can't do it.

      I don't see him as infallible but he's an example of how you can pretty much be any politics you want and be Catholic without excommunication. That's why Catholics online have such extreme views in politics going both ways.

        Catholics end up extreme in either direction because they don’t take their religion seriously. Nick Fuentes is an excellent example of a cultural Catholic who actually doesn’t give a shit about being Catholic.

          It's impossible to take seriously because it's inherently contradictory. It's a pedo cult that exists to fulfill the prophecy in Revelations.

      Prots are always saying things like "You have to have the same Mariology as Montfort" without knowing it's not mandatory or say things "You aren't allowed to have a rosary" or "You can't have a Christmas tree" without those things being infallibly banned in their Bible.

    Catholics literally worship demons like Pachamama because it's "cultural", while evangelicals fight against idolatrous cultural practices.

        It's not mandated, it's a cultural practice that's normative for Catholics in many parts of the world.

          Nta, I grew up as a protestant and have never heard such things once.

          I hear it all the time. Prots never get off your case. They also complain about Catholic cathedrals being rich but also complain if someone raises the minimum wage.

        Gambling is bad, and drunkenness is bad, but there is nothing wrong with Christmas trees or liturgical vestments. In fact, my church uses vestments and I'm a protestant. A couple of different protestant denominations wear vestments, like Lutherans and Anglicans.

        "Clement of Rome, Ignatius of Antioch and Polycarp are silent on the issue,[8] however the Epistle of Barnabas, the Shepherd of Hermas, Theophilus, Justin Martyr, Clement of Alexandria and Tertullian among others connected following Christ in baptism with salvation.[9][10] Baptismal regeneration was also affirmed by Origen[11] and Augustine.[12] "

        Where in this quote does it say 'scripture ALONE' or does it say scripture is 'sufficient'. The adjective/descriptive word 'beneficial' in greek is: ὠφέλιμος (ophelimos). Which is a conjugation of "ophelos", which means "profit" or "advantage" in all contexts found.

        The greek word for "alone" is "monon", https://biblehub.com/greek/monon_3440.htm.

            Max cope. And max denial. I had a feeling you were that guy from the other thread. (You) lost, you didn't reply at all. Or, all I recall was a little pipsqueek of a fart of a response which basically said "no you're wrong" (it was less than 10 words in response to a whole 2000 word maxed IQfy post). You've failed to make your case, and you continue to live in a delusional state of unrepented confidence. Being wrong is fine so long as you repent. But, all heretics are condemned for their stubbornness. The stubbornness here is evident by posting memes proclaiming anabaptist victory while being utterly wrong.

            You didn't blow anything. You got shown for being a sophist, willing to corrupt scripture- just like Martine Luther- for your own suppositions, and had nothing else to say for your incorrectness.

            The meme indicates that the Timothy verse indicated "Sola Scriptura", which doesn't just mean "Scripture is infalliable", but Sola Scripture means "Scripture is the ONLY infalliable source of authority". Where in the verse does it say that? And how do you have confidence in your interpretation? What is the way one interprets scripture definitely with the ambiguity of language and how is that decided? And where does it say in scripture that people outside of the apostolic church, can interpret scripture infalliably? What is the historical evidence that people who make up their institutions are just as valid as those within? Was Pelagius, the gnostics, or Donatists endowed with the 'deposit of faith'?

            Supposing God exists, does it make sense that God would allow the church to say they are the only infalliable source of authority in interpretation and decision making, for 1400 years?

        Furthermore, where in scripture does it say "the Gospel of Thomas" is not scripture? Do you have a verse for that? What makes the Gospel of Thomas, Epistula Apostolorum, not scripture?

        Afterall, they both claim authorship of the apostles? Does this not satisfy the "deposit of faith"? Oh, and, wait a minute! What makes the epistle of Hebrews scripture? Was it written by Paul. If not, why is it scripture? Where in scripture does it say that it is God breathed? Where does it say Acts or Luke for the matter is scripture! After all, it was written by Luke the Evangelist. NOT Luke the apostle.

        Or, does all your 'scripture' rest on tradition. And if it rests on tradition, then is not the canon infalliable? After all, "scripture interprets scripture" and "scripture alone is the final authority".
