Protestantism

Dates would always occur on the same day of the week if years always had 364 days and we continued to use seven - day weeks. As it is now, fifty - two seven - day weeks equals three hundred sixty four days, and non - leap years are three hundred sixty - five days.

The one extra day means that every non - leap year, all dates are one day of the week advanced compared to the preceding year. In the case of leap years, dates after February 28 are advanced two days compared to the previous year.

No. The church can ask the Bishop to reconsider his or her choice of appointment, but ultimately it is the decision of the Bishop to appoint a pastor to a given church. That is the nature of the Episcopal polity.

When you have a need you make a seed faith offering to God. This can be a gift of finances, time, prayer for others, help others, anything you can do. Then you may have to wait in faith without wavering, always believing God's promise.

Lutherans believe that humans are saved from their sins by God's grace alone through faith alone.

Yes.

The doctrine of predestination is mostly associated with Calvinism, and the rejection of Calvinist doctrines of predestination is called "Arminianism." John Wesley was the most influential leader who preached Arminian doctrines and his theology spread through the Methodist movement. So denominations with roots in the Methodist movement (anything with "Methodist" or "Wesleyan" in its name, plus some others) generally do not preach predestination.

It doesn't say there were three whole days, the translation is 'On the third day.' Friday was the first day, Saturday the second and Sunday the third, but it was only about 40 hours in duration. This is also to be attributed to the way time was reckoned in those times, a part of a day being counted as a whole,

In 1798 he was captured. In fact he also signaled a temporary break in the power of the Roman Church!

In the early days of the Reformation Protestants frowned upon the Catholic Church; indeed, the word "Protestant" means "one who protests." In this case the founder of the Reformation, Martin Luther, protested the various "indulgences" that the Catholic Church would bestow, for the right price; most of these included a letter that would guarantee a deceased relative's entry into Heaven.

Tensions have eased, in general, between the two movements in more recent times, although some on each side remain biased against the other side for various reasons.

Nobody is really sure but i got a bit of information: you can't decide because either the monarch was Protestant or Catholic. Because Henry VIII was a Catholic, Edward was a Protestant, Mary was a Catholic and Elizabeth was a Protestant so you really can't tell.

When Henry was on the throne he was a Catholic. In 1509 Henry was clearly a good Catholic, he supported the Pope. In 1521 Henry VIII was given the title Fidei Defensor by the Pope. Henry had defended the Catholics against criticism in Europe. By defending the Catholic faith, the Pope rewarded him with the title. But in 1533 Henry wanted to divorce Catherine of Aragon because she couldn't produce a male heir not a female heir. He needed a son because at that time men were thought to be more important than woman and they thought woman to be weak and because the last name Tudor would still go on. Catherine was getting too old and it looked as she wouldn't have anymore children so Henry wanted to marry someone else. That someone else was Anne Boleyn. So Henry went to ask permission from the Pope for a divorce but the Pope said no because Catherine's father was the King of the Spain and Catherine's nephew was Charles V and recently Charles had invaded Rome and captured the Pope. Henry went angry and then thought of an idea and broke away the English Church from the Roman Catholic Church. He now made himself the head so he could divorce Catherine. He could do this because the English Church was broke away from the Roman Church. So now the Pope wasn't the head. Also this was a good idea so he could make more money from the taxes and own more land because he was the head of the Church of England. This gave him more power. The Pope went angry and excommunicated Henry. But still didn't mean that he wasn't Catholic; he just broke from the Pope. He was still a Catholic.

Edward reigned in 1547. He was very smart and could read and speak Latin and Greek at the age of 7. When Edward was Henry VIII's son, he was educated by Protestants. He was not brought up in the Catholic religion. But when it was Edward's reign, he was too young to rule himself because he was 9 years old so his advisors would help him.

Depends on how you define "Protestant". The general definition of "Protestant" is a Christian who is not Catholic. By that definition, you can't. However, some people may consider groups like Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses to be Protestant as well. If you go by that definition, then members of those groups are Protestant but not Christian.

The definition from Dictionary.com is "any Western Christian who is not an adherent of a Catholic, Anglican, or Eastern Church". Since "Christian" is in the definition, then you can't be Protestant and not Christian unless you use the alternate definition mentioned above.

Because Protestants confess to God and only God. The true forgiver of sins and the only forgiver. Fairly basic.

That's just the way the guy looks. If you take a trip through a nursing home you will find that although some elderly people look that way, they are actually very sweet.

Protestant Church in Sabah was created in 1963.

The Reformation

Protestant churches are just that: protestant, not Catholic. There are currently (2014) over 40,000 denominations in the United States, so different from each other that there is no way to compare them, except in that all of them are not Catholic.

The group that comes most immediately to mind is the United Society of Believers in Christ's Second Appearing, also known as the Believers, or Shakers. A member of this group was called, not surprisingly, a believer or a shaker, and titled Brother or Sister. The shakers were, from beginning to end, comprised of male and female members who lived a celibate communal life.

The shakers were probably the most successful communal religious group in America, having founded 19 thriving colonies and, at its peak, having at one time about 6,000 members. From 1774, When the first shaker immigrated to America, to today, their total membership numbered about 20,000. Today (2009) there are fewer than 8 remaining members.

ownpool on answers.yahoo.com said: I think the intelligent way to answer this question is to state that some colonists embraced Evangelical ideas at the same time as other colonists followed Enlightenment ideas. I do not think the intent of the question involves the same individual colonist sincerely holding both sets of ideas at the same time.

I think you should discuss the growth of freedom of religion in colonial America. You can also mention that some people attended Evangelical churches for social and political reasons, but actually held Enlightenment ideas and kept them secret from everyone except their most trusted friends.

They are not all contemporary. The style of church is not dictated by doctrine, but rather a way for the members of the church to express and present their doctrine. The reasons that many churches choose to have a more contemporary service is because more upbeat music, etc. is more natural for the members to express their love for God (like the language of their heart) and more welcoming to visitors.

the central doctrine of protestantism is 1 god monotheism

We are named after the Day of Pentecost (Acts Chapter 2).
