Protestantism

This really is something that is treated on an individual basis and not the relations between denominations as a whole. The Catholic Church certainly has a right to not approve of Mormons or Protestants, as both claim that the Catholic Church has gone astray. The Catholic Church generally has good relations with other denominations and individual Catholic groups work together with both Protestant and Mormon groups on a regular basis. Whether an individual Catholic prefers the company of Protestants or Mormons would be based on his/her individual personality, as they will have many common beliefs with people from both religions.

For myself I would say no. If we could visualize a clock then the time would be a few seconds before the start of the seventh thousand year of earths existence. Seven thousand years having already past since, we are a few seconds before the beginning of the fourteenth thousand year.

Lutherans began as a movement to follow the teachings of Martin Luther, a German Catholic Priest trying to solve systemic problems in the Catholic Church.

The Reformed Church is theologically very similar, but was started by the Dutch.

They are both major Protestant Denominations. Neither one is considered a part of the other.

The Episcopal church is becoming more and more liberal....some Presbyterian churches are headed that direction. The ELCA Lutheran church is becoming more liberal also.

We worship God as revealed in the Jewish Canon and the Christian Canon, (Old and New Testaments of the Bible, Not including the Apocrapha)

We don't pray to people who have passed on.

We worship Jesus as we believe He is God, and He rose from the dead so we are not praying to a dead person.

We worship the one true and living God, who made the heaven and earth (Genesis 1:1). He is the maker and giver of all life, a sovereign God who preordained everything from eternity.

yeah he made them so hot (;

I believe the United Methodist church would not agree to a non-celibate gay person as a minister of the church; however, a liturgist, musician or a lay leader may be well accepted.

separatists wanted to leave the Anglican churches to form their own churches.

John Wesley founded the Methodist Church in large part because Anglican authorities would not provide missionary priests to settlers in America. He and Asbury were both trained in Anglican Universities and founded the Methodist Church in America. (Though Methodist societies were formed first in England.)

James Dobson and its headquarters is in Colorado Springs.

Oh, dude, you must be mixing up your biblical verses with a Simpsons episode or something. The Bible actually says "Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth" in Matthew 5:5. So, unless the Yellow Man is secretly meek, I don't think he's getting any special treatment in the Bible. Like, sorry to burst your bubble, man.

It is currently known as the Old Apostolic Church.

The Mystery of the Vatican Codex

CODEX Vaticanus 1209 appears in the first catalog of the Vatican Library, prepared in the year 1475. How it got there nobody knows. It is one of the three great Greek codices to have survived to today, ranking with its contemporary, the fourth-century Sinaiticus, and the early fifth-century Alexandrinus.

Although the importance of this Vatican manuscript was well-known to scholars early in the 16th century, few were ever permitted to examine it. The Vatican Library did prepare a collation of various readings of the manuscript in 1669, but this was lost and not rediscovered until 1819.

Emperor Napoleon of France captured Rome in 1809 and took the prized manuscript to Paris, where it was examined by Leonhard Hug, a celebrated scholar, but with Napoleon's downfall the codex was returned to the Vatican in 1815. For the next 75 years it was again a mystery object, concealed by the Vatican.

Konstantin von Tischendorf, one of the world's greatest manuscript scholars, was permitted to examine the manuscript in 1843 for a mere six hours, after being kept waiting for a number of months. Two years later, English scholar Dr. S. P. Tregelles was allowed to see the codex but not to study it. He stated: "It is true that I often saw the MS., but they would not allow me to use it; and they would not let me open it without searching my pockets, and depriving me of pen, ink, and paper; and at the same time two prelati [priests] kept me in constant conversation in Latin, and if I looked at a passage too long, they would snatch the book out of my hand."

Why was the Roman Catholic Church so reluctant to show the world its priceless manuscript?

Why Hidden?

For the Roman Catholic Church, the Latin Vulgate version of the Holy Scriptures remains its "pre-eminent authority." According to the encyclical letter Divino Afflante Spiritu of Pius XII, published in the year 1943, this fourth-century Latin translation by Jerome is also viewed as being "entirely immune from any error in matters of faith and morals." What of the Hebrew and Greek texts from which the Vulgate was translated? These, the encyclical says, are of value to 'corroborate' the authority of the Vulgate. So any Greek manuscript, even the Vatican Codex, has never been considered to be as authoritative as the Latin Vulgate. This stand taken by the Roman Catholic Church has naturally caused problems.

For example, when the 16th-century scholar Erasmus translated his Greek "New Testament," he appealed to the authority of the Vatican Codex to omit the spurious words from 1 John chapter 5, verses 7 and 8. Erasmus was right, yet as late as 1897 Pope Leo XIII upheld the corrupted Latin text of the Vulgate. Only with the publication of modern Roman Catholic translations has this textual error been acknowledged.

When the Codex Sinaiticus was revealed to the world in the latter part of the 19th century, it became apparent to the Roman Catholic authorities that their Codex Vaticanus was in danger of being eclipsed. By the turn of the century, good photographic copies were finally available.

The manuscript consists of 759 leaves. It lacks most of Genesis, some psalms, and the concluding parts of the Christian Greek Scriptures. It is written on very fine, thin parchment, thought to be from antelope skins, in a simple, elegant style. Its official designation is Codex B, and it can be seen today in the Vatican Library. It is hidden no longer, and its value is at last understood and appreciated throughout the world

I believe it is a made up word that currently is not an official dictionary listed word.

They don't. Protestants may bury their dead at any time of the day.

It would depend on your religion. Some are more restrictive than others. Speak to your spiritual leader if you feel so inclined.

Covenant Theology is based on the several Covenants between God and humans recorded in Scripture. Covenant Theology differs from other schools of Christian theology by placing emphasis on the community rather than on individual salvation. Churches in the Covenant Theology tradition practice infant baptism based on God's Covenant given to families, respecting the promise of salvation in accordance to Acts 16: 25-34, "Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household."
