    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    i said from the get go that the catholic church needed reforms, trust me i am well aware of the corruption that took place, and I'm happy that it was brought to the attention of Rome, however I certainly wish it hadnt happened the way it did... I mean a council where we decided alright this has...

    Catholic View of Islam?

    One could especially see that the way we view the Muslims is with a fairly high degree of respect seeing as they believe in Jesus, and they say he was one of the 5 great prophets of Islam... however because they believe he was assumed into heaven we have only the dispute there that he actually...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    Yes he was excommunicated, but then again he did try and go against the most powerful organization in the world... Also even though I agree the church was corrupt and in need of reform, as you can clearly see, I support the condemnation of Luther as a heretic... Thus I support his...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    yeah but he did leave the church and i know that he didnt necessarily want a new church but he didnt fight to oppose the Lutheran church from rising up... and i believe there is a reason to think he wanted a literal understanding because of Sola Sciptura. If scripture alone is what will give us...

    When was there free WILL ?

    here is the best analogy i have ever heard about how we have free will: A playwright/director puts on a play. Seeing as he wrote the play, he obviously knows how the play is going to go... However, he does not know what the actors are going to do.

    Hypocrisy is the Face of American Christianity

    So as I continue down my path of catholic high school education i get to write all kinds of fun papers and i try to bring my best ones in here for debate... This latest one i had alot of fun writing as i feel very strongly about this point. Here is the link to the article I wrote this...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    I dont know if that is intended to help me but i will use it to my advantage, because I think that if they were later additions and they shoudlnt even be there then there is absolutely no reason why Luther should have a literal understanding of this book and still believe in the trinity... there...

    Paul's Theology

    im trying to say that they started putting the actual book, not the message, but the physical scroll that is the Torah to such a high standard that they are breaking the first Noahide Law of idolatry because they started seeing the Torah as being the only thing they even needed...

    Paul's Theology

    well obviousl as a christian my best response as to the notion that they had nothing else to turn to, is that there shouldn't have been a need to turn somewhere else, because what they needed was right in front of them in Jesus. However seeing as how none of the three splits in Judaism accepted...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    the fact that it doesnt appear, backs up my point, because if he wanted a literal understanding of a book that doesnt even mention the trinity why does he believe it?

    Golden Retriever Puppies: The Fluffiest Evidence for God

    its irrelevant dogs, while sometimes mildly retarded, are superior to cats, rats, and roaches (ugh) for this reasoning: you feed a dog, it loves you as its god and food provider you feed a cat, it thinks it is your god and you must now center your life around making it happy if you feed a...

    Paul's Theology

    From a young age, most Christians are taught the same monotonous things about St. Paul. He was a Roman who persecuted Christians who later converted and spread the word of God more vigilantly than any other person in the ancient world. However, what most people do not delve into deeply are the...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    I realize that. He was saying things that the Church found to be heretical, so they in turn cited him as a heretic and they were going to kill him. Thats what I said...

    Heaven's Gate

    I mean i guess in a sort of twisted sense its funny, but at thhe same time its kinda scary to think that people will follow others into that kind of stuff...

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    Yeah it was the same unit in my religion class that we learned about him and John Eck, but i meant Eck.

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    I do agree. My problem is that Luther wanted a much more literal interpretation than what Catholicism used. Things that were implied were not acceptable, they had to be specifically mentioned. The Catholics however use a loose interpretation, and so the implied Trinity is very easily accepted.

    Martin Luther was so wrong!

    Ummm... are you kidding me? They were going to kill him for the things he said. He was "kidnapped" by Prince Frederick to protect him from the Church. The Peace of Nuremburg, signed by the Emperor, is the reason why Lutheranism was allowed in Germany and Catholicism wasn't enforced.
