Protestantism started 15th century?
The latin word protestari is the original word of protestant-which means to publicaly testify(witness).Jesus said to his followers-when the holy spirit comes you shall be my witnesses all over the earth.Apostolic church didn't pray to saints or used images/statues in worship,which both catholic and orthodox churches do in the name of traditions until this day.According to bible this is plain idolatry which is condemned in the first of ten commandments,also in many other parts of new testament. There is no historical or biblical proof for it.Catholics claim there's proof in some books they added to the scriptures after reformation in council of trent,which neither protestants nor orthodox agree with.Which means first churches were protestant and not catholic or orthodox.The earliest evidence catholics can provide for praying to saints is in 300AD(god only knows weather its fabricated).But catholics claim protestants have no history before luther or jan hus(ie, 15-16th century).But nothing can be further from the truth.As first churches were protestant they continued upto 320AD without much problem.But around that time constantine made christianity the religion of roman empire.Many pagans without proper knowledge of god brought into church their old practices of idolatry-which included praying before images and praying to many gods.They painted their old statues with new christian names of joseph,mary,jesus and many others.Thus they freely continued their old idolatry which continues till this day.The church leaders at the time of constantine put a blind eye on these pagan practices that had entered the church for they feared hatred of people and wanted to protect their new found power in the empire.They lied in the name of jesus.Around that time old pagan temple was of vatican was transformed into a church,with many idols and gradualy evolved into catholic religion within about a 100 years.Around 200AD a true apostle of christ named mani in iran healed many sick in tha name of jesus and spread protestantism,his followers were called manicheans(like modern lutherans).followers of mani-a true apostle of jesus spread from persia to china b/n 2nd-15th century.Inorder to destroy this proof pope and elite clergy of catholics and orthodox churches spread misinformation about them that they were heretics believing in dualism and other pagan religions,when in reality it was catholic and orthodox sects who were really heretics.Later in 8th century followers of true apostle mani spread to turkey and balkans where they were called as paulicians and bogomiles respectively.they existed till about 1200AD when they were m murdered by catholics claiming them to be heretics.At the same time(around 1200AD) spirit of god started to other true churches waldens and cathars who exist to this date.from 1400 onwards fire of spirit of god moved throughout europe starting from jan hus,luther,calvin,zwingli and many other leaders, until this day known as protestantism.I believe end of catholic and orthodox churches is near as god exists.
