The deception of the protestants is that they inherited the Greek mythology of the Catholic church. They say they agree with the fundamentals of the faith, but because they have adopted the Catholic hermeneutic of Greek philosophy, debate, rhetorical invention and myth, they cannot agree on doctrine because they don't know how to read their own Bibles.
They have no set of rules to determine truth from the Bible and they excuse it by saying every man is a priest so every man can make it say what they want. They will claim that they are not allowed to do that, but without rules for discerning truth, that is the end result.
If they agree with Catholicism, then they too are lost. How many have signed 'peace treaties' with the Catholic church? Even the Southern Baptists did.
Protestants have adopted the Catholic definitions of heresy, and exclude the same groups of people the Catholics do.
Priest that abandoned the faith during persecution got their jobs back when the persecution ended. Those who complained out the practice were called heretics.
The Catholic church has said that Jesus was a super baby, completely conscious of his divinity. This brings rise to myths of miracles as a child. Those who disagree, and teach that he closed his eyes to his divinity in the incarnation are called heretics. They do not say he ceased being God, any more than you become blind when you close your eyes. He chose to be tempted in every way that we are in order to be our high priest. Many protestants have adopted the Catholic myth and call others heretic.
Jesus was the 'least of all the seed' because he served us all on the cross. The parable of the mustard seed points to the seed of the woman in Ge 3. And 'mustard' in Greek sounds like 'bruide by anger' in Hebrew. Find a theologian who references Ge 3 when speaking of the mustard seed.
Mammon is a Hebrew word meaning 'the believing ones' but the Greeks would have you believe Jesus spoke Syriac and said 'money'.
Agape is a Hebrew word meaning 'the combatants'. Agape love is the love you give your enemy without any concern about it being returned. The Greeks would have you believe it is a super-Greek love.
The word for 'word' in Hebrew is אמר which is the same word as lamb. Your Greek/Catholic theologians will tell you they are two different words, because they don't want you to know that when John said, "Behold the LAMB of God" some people heard him say, "Behold the WORD of God" and they want you to believe that John got the 'logos'/word from a Greek philosopher Philo, because Jesus wasn't smart enough to explain himself to John.
The Protestants think they could correct Rome with a faulty hermeneutic. The proof that they couldn't is the fact that they can't agree with each other, nor read scripture for themselves, hindered by the rules of interpretation inherited from Catholic Augustine who said that the Greek translation of the scriptures was more accurate than the original Hebrew.
All the scriptures speak of Christ in great detail, not just generically preparing humans for his appearance. The prophetic riddle, called the mystery by Paul, and Sensus Plenior by more modern theologians is a detailed picture of Christ, hidden like security paper in the symbols and metaphor of scripture, discerned by applying a simple rule: A metaphor must be the same everywhere.
Originally the Anti-Christian church did not allow people to read the Bible for themselves. Their daughter says read it for yourself and see "what it means to you", when they should be saying "Hear the word of the Lord".
They have reproduced the environment that Paul found at the Areopagus, where all could worship whatever God they chose, as long as they didn't step on anyone's toes. Now they can believe what they want about God as long as it remains a 'personal' faith. There is no TRUTH to them.
