How Old Is Your Church? If you are a Lutheran, your religion was founded by Martin Luther, an ex- monk of the Catholic Church, in the year 1517.

Ok,....Let's STOP right here! Stop the Protestant bashing!

Lutherans are **Christians**. Christ is the foundation of Christianity! Their faith and church goes back to Christ. Martin Luther merely got their Christian faith ( founded by Christ) back on track, and correctly **reformed** the faith, and threw out the corruption and abuse that had infiltrated it.

I don't think it is Protestant bashing to point out that the Protestant movement itself made that movement less than complete Christianity. They removed books from the bible, they decided that the Eucharist was not the body and blood of Christ, they came up with sola scriptura, they decided that praying for the repose of the souls of the deceased was without merit, they figured that apostolic succession was unnecessary, and on and on. Are protestants Christian, of course they are, just a little on the incomplete side. How can more that 20,000 denominations, all of which teach some differences, be right?? The Catholic church remains, like Christ, the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
