What are the ethics that guide the Protestant Religion?

The ethical beliefs of Protestants are the same as all
Christians. They follow the teachings of Jesus in the four Gospels of the New Testament
as expounded in the Epistles. They also consider the Old Testament, particularly the Ten
Commandments, as a guiding light. More specifically, Protestants follow Jesus's
teachings that Christians should love one another. They are to aid one another in time
of trouble, give to one another in time of need, and most importantly, understand,
support and comfort one another in times of trouble. Jesus emphasized the point that all
humans are imperfect, and may not live up to their own standards, much less those of
others. To that end, he encouraged understanding and patience, and condemned intolerance
and self-righteousness.

The Ten Commandments form the basis
for all Protestant ethics over and above the teachings of Jesus. Thus they are taught
that it is wrong to still, kill, committ adultery, covet, or bear false
witness.

In this regard, Protestants have no difference of
opinion with all other Christians. They may disagree on some theological matters, but
the underlying ethics are the same.
