Unfortunately, the protestant reformation was every bit as corrupt as parts of the Catholic hierarchy was. They didn't like the rules, so they threw them out. They considered themselves better than 1450 years of of Christian study, in essence making a false idol of their own intellects.

They became victims of pride; pride in their own flawed thoughts, pride in their rebellion, pride in their power. Pride pride pride...Nothing but pride. And in their pride they've lead thousands astray, right up to the present day.

And the result is the thousands of protestant denominations, such as Baptists, sects such as 'Bible churches', and cults, such as the OPC, that we see today. Continually splintering, rebelling as their original leaders did.

The Bible is a Christian's only rule of faith and practice.

The Reformation returned Christianity to the Bible, and away from the errant doctrines of corrupt men who for centuries had slaughtered anyone who challenged the papacy's imperial bombast.

Rome's sins are legion -- kneeling to a priestcraft made up of deluded "alter Christus;" elevating a simple Jewish girl to "co-redeemer;" praying to dead people as "mediators" when there is only "one mediator between God and men, the man, Christ Jesus;" concocting cruel lies like purgatory which declares that Christ's justification of His sheep was incomplete and lacking, so men have to work to finish Christ's atonement of them; teaching a false baptismal regeneration; believing in a works-based salvation; bowing to a fallen old man in Rome as "the infallible head of the church" when Scripture tells us no man but Christ was infallible and that Christ alone is head of His church on earth.
