What name was given to the conflict between the protestants and the Catholics in Ireland?
The Irish frequently refer to the conflict in Northern Ireland as "the troubles".

Which commandment did Saul break?
Saul (Paul) broke more than one. On the road to Damascus Christ asked him why Saul was persecuting Him. That was a turning point in Saul's life. Saul was blinded by being in Christ's light. Saul could have been bitter for being blinded but he wasn't. He was grateful he was shown the light.

Is the preacher Ernest Angley still alive?
He certainly is alive and healtier than anyone I've ever seen at his age (I believe 84 or 85). His ministry that's based in Akron Ohio keeps expanding as it sends missionaries around the world and broadcasts his program even into China. I received a miracle for my spine when he prayed for me years ago. God completely healed my damaged spine and I'm still good today. It was actually a bit unbelieveable at the time, but I certainly don't doubt anymore that God can use someone with a lot of faith like Ernest Angley to pray for others. He seems to really live what he preaches and doesn't live in luxury. Check out his website for more information: ernestangley.org
What is a Protestant Catholic?
At first glance many people think a Catholic Protestant is a contadiction in terms. However there are Protestant (or Reformed) people and churches that identify as Catholic but not Roman Catholic. Catholic means 'universal' or 'general', so some Protestants regard themselves as catholic in the sense of being part of the universal church of Christ. There is also an Anglican church not centred on the Archbishop of Canterbury or the Anglican Communion called the Anglican Catholic Church. The Anglican Communion itself points out that a Catholic that follows the Bishop of Rome (usually called the Pope) is a Roman Catholic where-as they identify as Anglican Catholic. To quote the Anglican Church of Ireland website:
"The Church of Ireland is Catholic because it is in possession of a continuous tradition of faith and practice, based on Scripture and early traditions, enshrined in the Catholic Creeds, together with the sacraments and apostolic ministry."

Catholic AnswerA Catholic Protestant remains an oxymoron as there is only one Catholic Church - by Our Blessed Lord's own definition - and a protestant, by definition, is someone whose religion is protesting the Catholic Church. Redefining terms and saying that all truth is relative helps no one, and doesn't make any sense anyway.Lent was not made, per say......
But, Jesus life leading up to his Passion was Lent. It happened 2,000 years ago and continues to be celebrated today!
Hope this helps at least a little bit! Keep posting if not!
What is the oldest form of protestantism?
Lutheranism, set up by Martin Luther in 1555 when he protested against the Roman Catholic church.
What are the main ideas of anabaptism?
Anabaptists believe that a person can only be Baptized upon valid confession of faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. Thus they do not Baptize infants and so have this in common with what the Baptists teach. The word anabaptist is really a derogatory label (meaning to Baptize again) given them by their opponents who believed in infant Baptism such as the Roman Catholics and Lutherans and so they were seen as applying a second Baptism as most of their followers (except a few that grew up as such) would have been Baptized as babies. I would say that the above answer is true, as baptists come from anabaptists, who baptized the christened, though we, as baptists, are only baptized once, as the catholic christening is not as popular as it was in the old days.
if you read Romans 8, it says that if the Holy Spirit abides in you, then He will make you sons of God. it is by the grace of God that Christ died for our sins. Christ gave Himself to set us free from sin.
How do you address the local leader of a Church of Christ church?
There is no local leader. The minister has less "power" than the elders of the church do. Each church is indepent from one another. The preacher can be called by his name or more formally as Mr.
A praedella is the panel (or panels) at the base of an altarpiece, same as predella. Often scenes from the life of Christ are depicted on the predella, or sometimes, as in Masaccio's Holy Trinity altarpiece, a skeleton intended to remind viewers of their mortality (called a "memento mori").
Praedella (Latin) is an ancient Roman form of platform, usually three steps in height. Upon the platform sat the Dias or throne of the Emperor. Now, like Basilica, we find praedellas in most Roman Catholic and other Christian churches. Often misnamed "the altar", the praedella is, rather, the platform upon which the altar of a church sits. The platform has spiritual significance for Catholics, in that, it represents the Apostolic tradition upon which the Catholic Church is founded or built.
Our Prophet Noble Drew Ali teaches The Moorish Americans are the descendants of the Ancient Moabites whom inhabited the Northwestern and Southwestern shores of Africa. So-called Negro, black, colored, African American are the Moors because those names were given to slave by slaveholders in 1779 and lasted until 1865 during the time of slavery but this is a new era of time now and all men now must proclaim their free national name to be recognized by the government in which they live and the nations of the earth. The Prophet came teaching his people Moorish Americans to think and they will save themselves, Nationality is the order of the day without it all you have is organized chaos.
Answer No, Bethany Divinity College and Seminary is not, nor ever has been affiliated with the Church of the Brethern or Bethany Theological Seminary that is located in Indiana. Bethany Divinity College and Seminary is not a part of a denominational body, but rather is an independent, conservative, Bible based school, Baptist in identification, but trans-denominational in its student body. The school and its professors accept the Bible as the inerrant, infallible, inspired Word of God Bethany is a free-standing school, offering educational course subjects in Bible, Theology, Christian Education, and Bible related subjects; providing solid theological preparation for Christian ministry around the world. Here people can earn a Bachelor, Master or a Doctor degree through off campus studies.
TRUE. But a crorrection.. IT IS NEITHER AN ACCREDITED COLLEGE NOR SEMINARY. The accrediting agency they list is bogus. If it is not accredited by the Association for Biblical Higher Education, Association of Theological Schools in the United States and Canada, then it is not accredited as a seminary. It is a diploma mill and not an accredited institution. Why else have they changed their name three times, and list the lowest price on the internet for an education. If it sounds too good to be true, watch out.
What is an episcopal service like?
I am episcopal.. it is much less strict than the Catholic service much more friendly and welcoming. They are more of a family than a Catholic church. I switched a few years ago, and I am not going back, it is just a wonderful religion to follow... it is very similar to Catholic except women are allowed to participate more. Very good religion I recommend it

What was the name of the group who broke away from the catholic church?
The Anglicans in Great Britain broke with the Catholic Church. Henry VIII had been unable to produce a male heir to the British throne with his wife Catherine of Aragon. He wanted to annul his marriage to her so he could marry another but the pope refuse to annul his original marriage. Henry then broke with Rome and formed the Church of England, naming himself as head of the Church in that country. He then, basically, granted himself a divorce and married a series of other women over the years, none of which produced a male offspring. He was, of course, excommunicated from the Catholic Church. A number of years of Catholic persecutions followed.
