    Heaven's Gate

    In my religion class today, my teacher brefly mentioned Heaven's Gate. I know it was an internet thing that happened but I do not know much else about the subject, and I would love to know what it was all about. I am asking here on RF rather than just looking on the internet because it is...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    Yeah I guess it is very possible that he was so familiar with the trinity that he wouldn't have even thought of disregarding it

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    I must disagree with this, seeing as the Latin translation was the same way as the Greek version, when converted to a newer language, words have more than one connotation. Also, the Latin translation was written and then unchanged. But since Luther translated his Lutheran Bible in German, and...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    That wasn't really the point I was trying to make there, i was more trying to say that it is silly that Luther believes in the Trinity, because he believed in a much more literal interpretation of the Bible and it says nothing about a Holy Trinity in the Bible. The fact that it was written in...

    Lol, LoTrobador you have entered a new time period of discussion which i have an extremely limited knowledge of.

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    Yeah Calvin and Zwingli and Knox were all a little more radical than Luther was, and i can't be too hard on Protestantism because it has survived these last almost 500 years...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    I dont wish to denounce Christianity. I merely wanted to make the point that I think that Luther was very right to call for the reform of the extremely corrupt Catholic Church. However, his method of reformation, to me at least, was a little flawed, because he wanted everyone to read the...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    He did interpret the Bible for everyone to read it, it was just that he planned for everyone to read it and understand it the way that he did, but obviously the Lutheran Church is not the only Protestant Church, and that means that Luther failed to get everyone on the same page about how the...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    And im not actually sure why i put the not being apriest thing in there, because that was only done to protect him from the Catholic Church, as his abbot was no longer responsible for turning him in.

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    But Luther translated his Bible with the intention for there to only be his one interpretation, not for everyone to start interpreting it their own way. And historians are fairly confident that he had OCD based on some psychological symptoms, such as an unbelievable obsession with keeping...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    I don't think it's lack of clarity, so much as it is Luther's inability to see that his Bible, just like the Catholic Bible, has the possibility of more than one interpretation and that not everyone sees things the same way as an OCD monk who was relieved of his duties to the priesthood

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    But the reason for why he translated the Bible into German was that he honestly thought everyone would read it and see it in the same light, and his position on why to translate the Bible was proven to be a false hope for agreement when people like John Calvin and Ulrich Zwingli started popping...

    This is where Luther called for the banning of the works of Aristotle as you requested in my thread: An Open Letter to the Christian Nobility of the German Nation Concerning the Reform of the Christian Estate- Proposals for Reform: Part III; No. 25 (1520)

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    Doesn't that just help to show the flaw in Protestantism? The fact that there are so many types of Protestantism seems to prove that people will understand things differently if given free interpretation of the Bible. If all Protestants can't even agree on the interpretation of the Bible, that...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    Oh and by the way, thank you for the welcome wishes!

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    I agree he got more people to read the Bible than had ever done so before because before the German translation, it was only written in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek, none of which were spoken widely during Luther's lifetime. I just believe that he was naive to think that if he made it readily...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    when luther called for the reformation of the Catholic Church when he saw the corruption and abuse of indulgences, he was right. The church was in bad shape and the fact that they tried to kill him doesnt help their case... However, after Prince Frederick "kidnapped" Luther, Luther translated...
