[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Muslima][quote=Anonymous]I'm Christian... To answer your questions: 1. Do you guys have a certain number of mandatory prayers that you do every day? Does it depend on what branch of Christianity you follow? No... I don't know about all the "branches" (denominations), but most of the Protestant ones do not. Not sure about Catholics. 2. What is the difference between Catholics, Protestants and Methodists? Protestants grew out of the Reformation period from the Roman Catholic church. In a nutshell, some people felt the Catholic Church was a bit too corrupt so they split from them. Then different fractions started appearing... Presbyterian, Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran... each started by different leaders. They all hold to the universal truths about Christianity, just vary slightly in certain aspects of the belief. 3. Can you guys go to each other's churches? Yes, it is very open. I grew up in a Presbyterian church but now go to what is called non-denominational.[/quote] Thank you, I appreciate it. So Catholics were the "Original Christians" and all the other denominations branched out from them? [/quote] Not really. Roman Catholicism was created out of a schism with the Eastern Orthodox Christians, the Eastern Orthodox Churches never recognized the Roman Cardinal (now called Pope) as the head of the Church. The Unitarians were not included once the Nicene Creed was established (325)- but they died or were killed for being heretics, then from time to time another would pop up and be killed for being a heretic.... until the mid-1500's when a sect was started in the eastern Hungarian section of modern Romania and has been continuous since. Unitarians there consider themselves to be Christian, but not Trinitarian (which is what the Nicene Creed established). [/quote] There may have been christians who didn't buy into for the trinity in325, but was no Unitarian denomination until the 18th century.[/quote] You are incorrect. There have been continuous Unitarian pulpits in Romania since 1650's. My Congregation has had a partner church with one of those Congregations for the past 20 years. http://www.unitarian.org.uk/pages/history The earliest organised Unitarian movements were founded in the 16th century in Poland and Transylvania. In Britain, Unitarianism was damned as heresy and the death penalty imposed on anyone who denied the trinity. With Unitarianism seen as heresy and specifically forbidden by parliament’s Toleration Act of 1689, several early radical reformers who professed Unitarian beliefs in the 16th and 17th centuries, suffered imprisonment and martyrdom.
