Jengie, the link is dismissive of evangelicals and Bible-churches. Do you think that is a good way to win yourself Protestant Points?

No. You asked a question I replied to it by using a websearch.
I of course being protestant have decided to wander off apart from throwing the occasional brick bat to keep the thread alive.

Well, -1PP for nearly leading people off the Right Path and into destruction.
+2PP for keeping the thread alive.

On the plus side:
- Descended from Mennonites on every branch of my family tree
- Believer's baptism - dunked three times, backwards - at age nine in a Baptist church
- Can't dance to save my life
- Own six different translations of the Bible, plus one commentary. Even read them sometimes.
- Work as office manager at a United Church of Christ congregation
On the minus side:
- That commentary is the New Jerome Biblical Commentary
- Was confirmed in the Episcopal Church at age 30, and thought the bishop was pretty impressive
- Of the four Episcopal churches in town, the one I attend is the highest up the candle
- Studied Latin in grad school and liked it. Still remember some of it.
And one thing I'm not sure what to make of:
- I think the best thing about the 39 Articles is that it contains a fabulous illustration of the real meaning of the word "enormity." If I never again hear someone use it to mean "large," it'll be too soon.

Surely you are thinking of the Great Litany (that is, 'The Letanie')? Where:
"From all sedicion and prievie conspiracie, from the tyranny of the Bysshop of Rome and al hys detestable enormities, from all false doctrine and heresy, from hardnesse of hearte, and contempte of thy woorde and commaundemente.
Good Lorde, deliver us."
The bold section against the Anti-Christ of the Painted Whore of Babylon was removed by the despicable romanising crypto-papistical Elizabeth I in the 1559 BCP (Oh god I heart her. Oop! What a giveaway).
Praps you are thinking of the glorious Article XXII?
"THE Romish doctrine concerning Purgatory, Pardons, worshipping and adoration as well of Images as of Relics, and also Invocation of Saint, is a fond thing vainly invented, and grounded upon no warranty of Scripture; but rather repugnant to the word of God."
Testing:
'I am thinking of buying the Orthodox study bible today, but I may instead buy an icon of St Michael'.

Coot: I'm so ![[Embarrassed]](icon_redface.gif) ! On the other hand, not being able to place this phrase properly may gain me a few Protestant points.

Last Sunday I walked out in the middle of a sermon in protest and prayed for the rest of a service under a tree.
And yesterday I corrected ![[Wink]](wink.gif) the theology of our full-time elder after his sermon on Acts 2.
Both, rather amusingly, are true.
![[Smile]](smile.gif)
PP me up.

I must admit - Laura had me worried there for a while, but Wood - I'm in awe of you man. Those quotes from the bible... wow. However, as the bible refers to Wood as a god, the implication is that you are working for the other side, which probably loses you about, eh, -1000000 points ( I couldn't find the infinity symbol, 1000000 will have to do).
I'm just back from holidays, where I spent a week with a friend who's father is a Lutheran pastor. We attended his church on one Sunday. I think that deserves some points.

Brother, those points are written in the Lamb's Book of Points from before all eternity! Nothing you do or say here can affect the number of points assigned to you.
All tht is happening on this thread is the gradual revelation of our true points total by the providential outworking of the predestinary loving care of God for his creation.
So I have not gained any more points because I attended an believer's baptism by full immersion yesterday, but that that I was led to such a place by the Spirit working through the lives of those around me is an indication and a sign of the true total of Points laid up for me in heaven before the founding of the world.
And what do Points make?

Points make us more humble - I will infact be participating in a TV service on RTE Television on 10th August - so yah!
This will be my SECOND TV appearance. It will show my Protestant worthiness off to everyone.

But Calvin's Institutes is written in Latin. It is one of the reasons that they are readable.

Huh? What's an anglican like your good self using words like "predestined" for? I'm quite dubious about your qualification her. Today I'm feeling very Arminian.
Having said that, I would be interested in a "Are you more Orthodox than Fr Gregory" or "Are you more Catholic than Jesuitical Lad" or even "Are you more Anglican than Anglicanrascal".
How about it?

I'm currently finding things within Protestantism to protest about - what does that make me?
