The nation's largest Protestant denomination will ask its members to approve a resolution calling for a reversal of the Supreme Court's landmark gay marriage decision.
Baptists are not Protestants, by any stretch of the imagination, and hate being lumped in with them. They are a uniquely American bag of fruitcakes, loathe being called (basically) “not Catholics”.
Not only hit 'em in the headline, did it a second again, explicitly. Here’s hoping the author did that on purpose!
Point to the timeline where Baptists came into the Protestant Reformation. I guess we could just call all non-Catholics Protestants, but that sounds absurd.
SOURCE: 2 years of Advanced European History, by the best teacher I ever had.
The Baptist Church came from an offshoot of early English Puritan movements. If your teacher couldn’t draw a line from the Protestant Revolution to English and Dutch Protestant movements straight to the birth of Anglican Church and from there the Schism of protestant ideals in England and their fleeing to America then they might not have been as good a teacher as you think they are. Or maybe you just didn’t pay very good attention.
Just as an aside this whole thing hasn’t been some inane Endeavor in which you’re going to tell me that the Baptist Church came from John the Baptist are you? Cuz that’s just a bullshit story they tell themselves you know that right?
