How did you get the implication that I said the other Protestant denominations merged TOWARDS Lutheranism? They didn't exist!!!!!!!!!!!! I said Luther started the first Protestant denomination, and he did. It was followed soon after by Calvin. Perhaps re-read my letter, there was nothing incorrect in it. The other Protestant denominations branched off on their own. Luther started the Protestant Reformation, I think that is clear enough. Some just like to correct, but I'm a student of history, and apparently you didn't even read what I wrote. I hardly need wikipedia, I have studied Christian history in depth. There are lots of other sites where you can research this, you might try something more indepth than wikipedia when you are looking something up. I have known the history of the church since a young child, and later studied Christian history in depth like I said.

Yes, this discussion is sounding like an argument! Susan, you were correct, but I think you were misunderstood by one or two people when you said "they followed Lutherans in time". They thought you meant the other religions "followed" (believed like) the Lutherans instead of "followed"/developed later in time.
