>confusing Calvin with Luther
Luther was just a Catholic lite.

Catholics have Augustine, Aquinas and Pascal

Orthodox have Philokalia, Gregory Palamas and Dostoyevsky.

Protestants have Calvin, Meister Eckhart and Kierkegaard.

Who wins?

>>2789242
I didn't confuse. It just demonstrates the faggotry of Protestantism as a whole. Besides, Luther taught double predestination in his work "On the Bondage of the Will." He had more commonalities with Calvin than some realize.

>>2789259
Luther only taught predestination to salvation which is pretty much the same thing Catholics believe.

>>2789177
No thanks, I'll take Biblical Christianity instead

>>2789252
>Catholics
>Augustine
He was basically a Calvinist before Calvinism

>>2789263
You're literally retarded. Just because most modern Lutherans have similar views as Catholics on predestination doesn't mean it is what Luther taught.

>>2789272
I don't know what the big difference between Luther and Catholics is supposed to be. He was an Augustinian monk who adored the pope until pope told him to fuck off after which he had no choice but split. He wasn't like Calvin who wanted a split to begin with.

Get cucked faggot.

>>2789197
lol wut

>>2789278
Because Catholics (and Orthodox) hold to a synergistic view of salvation. Luther held to a monergistic view of salvation.

>>2789301
Synergism is an illogical, unbiblical nonsense though.

>>2789310
It's a good thing the Church is older than the Bible, then, and that Tradition unites with Scripture to support synergism.

>>2789310
Not according to the ancient Church and the Bible itself. Protestantism is completely retarded and an invention of a 16th century monk who couldn't have his own way. It's a mindless and ridiculous interpretation of the Bible and is the biggest embarrassment to Christianity ever.

>>2789317
Synergism is literally Pelagianism and we know how the actual Church Doctors (especially Augustine) felt about it.

>>2789323
Stop lumping Calvinism together with Lutheranism. Even the word "protestant" is a misnomer and should only apply to Lutherans and Lutheran-derived churches.

>>2789177
NO that's Roman Catholics

>>2789298
Armenians literally ritually sacrifice animals, which completely denies the entire point of Christianity. They aren't real Christians.

>>2789362
Not him, but Augustine was a monergist and a determinist.

>>2789334

Augustine had no notion or even an inkling about predestination, presenting him as some crypto-protestant is completely ahistorical.

>>2789278
>pope told him to fuck off
The pope was already reforming and then planned to adopt most of Luther's as well if Luther didn't have a bone to pick with fish

Pelagians don't believe in original sin nor do they believe in the free gift of grace. Syngergist do and that's why you see them actively baptize babies (ateast in the west). Synergist believe that grace is a free gift from God, but unlike monergism, believe that human will and and God must cooperate. Accusing us of Pelagianism shows how retarded you are and how little theology you actually know.

Ohhh are you one of those protefaggots who doesn't like the word Protestant? Kys faggot.

This is why protestants are called protestants. It concerns only Lutherans, not Calvinists or even Arminians.

"Calvinism (also called the Reformed tradition', Reformed Christianity, Reformed Protestantism, or the Reformed faith) is a major branch of Protestantism that follows the theological tradition and forms of Christian practice of John Calvin and other Reformation-era theologians."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvinism
You're retarded.

>>2789431
It doesn't make sense to call them protestant at all. They didn't participate in the protestation.

Can someone explain the Orthodox view of justification? How do you receive eternal life?

>>2789436
Protest more faggot.

>>2789436
The word Protestant means protesting. They protested against the Catholic Church by leaving it and setting up their own false gospel. Protestantism encompasses the sects that split off from the Catholic Church (and each other) from the time of Luthers revolt until now because Protestants are so fucking retarded and insane they have about 20,000 fucking sects today.

>>2789444
Theosis

>>2789454
That's an incorrect etymology, it's not "a protest", it's "the protest" in this case, a legal act not a general term.

>>2789358

What?! Is this a real thing? Are we talking sacrifices like from the Hebrew bible?

>>2789477
That means the same thing faggot. Besides, I'd rather go with the general scholarly view and not your faggot little interpretation. Thus, Lutheranism, Calvinism, Anglicanism, Anabaptist, Baptist, Methodist, and whatever the fuck else is Protestant. Now please, fucking kys.

Any claim of primacy and legitimacy by any church can only be measured by the amount of Jews and mudslides it has BTFO.

Orthodox have the right idea about Jews, but they lost Constantinople to the Turks. Also not nearly enough pogroms.

Protest cunts never fought any crusade. Luther was red pilled on the Jews, but other than that Protestism is literally Judaism: the religion.

That leaves us only with the RCC.

You offer far too much butthurt and far too little substance of your arguments.

>>2789509
By judaism you mean ancient saduceism? Because protestantism has absolutely nothing in common with rabbinic judaism.

>>2789511
You offer too much faggotry in your arguments.

>>2789516
At least I actually have arguments.

>>2789518
But I just refuted them. Your arguments are shit.

>>2789515
By Judaism I mean Jew-worshipping zio-cuckoldry characteristic of Protestantism.

>>2789526
Modern day Rabbis were influenced by protefag ministers.

>>2789521
>Christian denominations that have nothing to do with the Protestation at Speyer should be called protestants
Nope. The term protestants doesn't refer to any kind of general protest against the Roman church (that was an asspull on your part), it refers specifically to Protestation at Speyer. Calvinists didn't participate in that, hence they are not protestants. Pretty simple.

>>2789526
>Jew-worshipping zio-cuckoldry characteristic of Protestantism
That's more of an American thing rather than protestant thing. We all know Americans/Anglos are not even human so what do they matter, continental protestants are opposed to zionism.

>>2789535
This goes against the general scholarly view of what a Protestant is. Your interpretation of what a protestant is is your interpretation and frankly is retarded but it is yours.

>>2789535
"In the 16th century, Martin Luther, and subsequently Huldrych Zwingli and John Calvin, inaugurated what has come to be called Protestantism."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christianity#Protestant

>>2789550
Martin Luther himself not only didn't use the term protestant, he didn't even use the term Lutheran.

>>2789551
Ok, Jesus didn't use the term Christian. So what?

>>2789570
Christian is an endonym, Lutheran is an exonym, it's actually a derogatory term for Augsburger-Evangelisch Church, much like "Mohammedan", created by Catholics to imply that "Lutherans" actually worship Luther.
