Does Protestantism inherently lead people to correct Christ himself, especially the Bible-only and progressive Christians?
A viewer asks whether Protestantism inherently produces an attitude in which people would tell Christ to his face where he is wrong, especially those who hold Scripture alone or are progressive Christians.
Answer
That attitude can apply to a lot more than Protestants; you can see it in Catholics too. Plenty of Catholics treat the Church's dogmas as ancient primitive beliefs. Only about a quarter believe the Eucharist is truly the body and blood of Christ, only about a quarter think birth control is wrong, and many think homosexual acts are fine. So wherever people think they alone know what Christianity is, you get this. But there is a special problem for the Bible-only position, because sometimes the people with the most truth chafe at it the most, since the more truth you have the more restrictions you discover that you may not like. The Bible does not say point blank that you cannot practice birth control, so if the Bible is your only authority, what do you do? Same with in vitro fertilization, surrogate motherhood, and much of the sexual area, where Scripture is silent or ambiguous. Even abortion has come down to defining when a human being begins, and the Bible does not spell that out; its tendency points to conception, but there is no verse that states it flatly. So yes, you can picture people arguing with Jesus, 'the Bible does not say that,' and good luck with that. And Catholics who have the truth sometimes hate it even more, because they resent being told how to live.
