Well i see individual sections on various Restorationist movements, as well as Catholicism, Orthodox Christianity, Judaism, and most extensively, Islam (but that's understandable since it's the point of this forum).

I ask that sections be made on Protestant movements. That is, Lutherans, Calvinists, Anglicans, Baptists, Methodists, Presbytereans, etc.

Otherwise i will have to say, that this forum is a little Protestant-inclined and that shows bias from my point of view, sorry to say.

What makes Protestants correct? How do they know their interpretations are all correct? If they feel so much like the true "Christians", then why so many different denominations? All these would be wonderful topics to discuss in a Protestanism section. They deserve their own topic in my opinion Smiley

I should probably have lumped those two into one group but thought the Orthodox would object even though they reluctantly admit to sharing the same pope.
...... Judaism, and most extensively, Islam (but that's understandable since it's the point of this forum).

I am afraid our forum already has too many sections. Adding a couple thousand more categories for denominations would be a bit unwieldy.

It might appear that way because - at least resisting and I - are not Roman Catholics, but we don't tend to go easy on protestant denominations either. For example

What makes Protestants correct?
Because we all believe we are saved through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, just like the Roman Catholics and Orthodox do. We are all correct.
How do they know their interpretations are all correct?
"They" obviously do not, and particularly interpretations of the figurative language of dreams and visions in prophecy, since a 1900 year gulf divides the partial preterist and futurist eschatologies, that were popularized in the 20th century church. Almost all denominations and orthodoxy are either partial preterist or futurist. One exception may be Reformed Baptist which as I remember might hold the continuous-historic view. Perhaps there are more.

I guess you didn't notice that the second largest general subject - after our number one effort to expose Muslims to the Gospel and to an honest view of Mohammed's religion - is eschatology.
If you want to discuss a specific denomination I recommend that you visit a forum of folks of that denomination who might be the most familiar with it.
