In the future, when you actually respond to my words please actually address the post to me. Otherwise you look like a coward trying to hide a post in a thread because you don’t have the ability to defend it.

“First of all there really is no such thing as protestantism in the same sense that there is the various branches of the Greek Orthodox Church who later then excommunicated the Roman Catholic church at the time of Leo for beginning the papacy and then who created their own various branches and separations within themselves in history.”
Excommunicated the “Roman Catholic church” in the time of Leo? You seem to have no idea of what you’re talking about.
“Protestantism should really only be seen as a general term to define those people who in European history had become exposed to the Bible themselves and began to learn to the Biblical based gospel through reading it directly.”
No. The name Protestantism MUST - by definition - be given to those sects which accepted the 16th century Protestant doctrines.
“***What changed everything was the invention of the printing press alone.***”
You mean moveable type printing. And the first book Gutenberg printed was the Catholic bible.
Clearly you’ve got a lot of reading to do.
In the future - when you respond to my words - actually post it to me. Otherwise don’t use my words. Just post to the air.
2 Tim 3:7 Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, reprobate concerning the faith.
2 Thess 2:10 And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
