How does it work?

FTFY

Its why different protestant denominations edited their versions of the bible.
>>3192544
According to the Founders of Protestantism like Calvin, they considered the Catholic Church pre-800 AD to be the church of Christ as Calvin praised pope saint Gregory I to be the "last good pope". It doesn't make sense to me what type of reasoning they had in the heads.

Ok, but then he acted through bishops. The canon of The New Testament was set up during The Consul of Trent.
Also

>uses canon of Old Testament set up by rabbis, instead of Christian one

>books written by apostles arent more authoritative than guys 1500 years later who claim to be Nth generation students of the apostles

Luther didn't have a problem with most bishops and didn't want to start a new church but the pope had him excommunicated anyway.
>>3192618
How would he knew, which ones were right ones, if forth century church hierarchy didn't agreed on that? That wasn't obvious before.

>removes books from it
Was Luther the Holy Spirit?
>>3192651
Luther was full of the Holy Spirit, yes.
>>3192639
So he admitted there is no Holy Spirit in Church. So how can He be in the Bible?
>>3192639
Early on that was sort of true, but by 1521 he went completely anti-catholic.
>>3192665
You've got it backwards, the pope isn't part of the Church.
>>3192670
The pope is Roman not Catholic.
>>3192680
Don't get it. Could you elaborate?
>>3192680
Lay off the carrots Martin
>>3192694
Pontifex Maximus is a Roman position and has absolutely zero, zilch, nada, nothing to do with the Body of Christ.
>>3192697
>>3192707
Yes, the Church incorporated some of pagan traditions, but still apostolic succession was preserved.
>>3192731
>>3192734
Not by the (((papa))).
>>3192773
Peter was NOT a (((pontiff)))
>>3192787
So who was the first one? There were bishops of rome before the roman empire had converted. It was all the time the same office.
>>3192826
Numa Marcius you plebeian.

>>3192544
It doesn’t. That’s why Protestantism is garbage.
>>3192544
Luther and Muhammad are Satan's chief generals, that's how.
