I think you should read the book The Facts About Luther…

According to that Luther was simply on a roll against Catholicism and (seems to me) got to the pioint he just didn’t care what he said or did. He himself even spoke of being in danger of going to HEll… He spoke with the devil… (his own words)

Read these to bring you into the present:

Yikes… i could have done without hearing THAT.

anyway, i think you should read the book. It was a real eye-opener for me. I have always been Catholic but also was always taught Luther was just someone who had a legitimate beef with teh Church. Obviously, i didn’t know anything about him… which is why i read the book… Now I know plenty. His own words do him in, and the book quotes his words abundantly. The book also mentions Protestant leaders who are not fond of Luther.

I have that book, I have been meaning to read it…for the past five years…

But there are also other sources, newer, I think, saying how Luther may have been bi-polar and it really wasn’t his fault as much as the fault of those who were political and using him as a puppet, and it’s not so much what HE did as what his followers did and set up after he died…

I’m sure I’ll get around to reading it some day…

Indeed, the Church did agree with all but 14 or so of his 95 theses. It shouldn’t go without saying that Martin Luther lived to regret breaking away from the One, Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church and was mightily distressed at the heresies that arose from every person interpreting Scriptures themselves.


Reform Came Before the Reformation

“…these earlier reform movements powerfully proved that the break from the Church by Luther and the Reformers who followed him was both unnecessary and actually behind the times of true renewal.”

Luther was gleeful when the Pope died… What is interesting is that he got sick with some weird “thing” himself shortly after expressing his happiness at the Pope’s death. He then died. And, of course, went to meet Jesus, whose Church he had blashphemed…

and about him throwing… stuff at the devil.

You know… I’ve never heard of a saint doing such a thing. Most Christians just don’t … touch such things. I don’t know. How can you follow, religiously, someone like that? I mean… it just seems so downright bizarre.

I dunno. Paul counted everything as poo…in relation to the surpassing glory of Christ.
 
Surely one of the saddest days in the history of humankind, when millions upon millions have been lead astray from the one true catholic church 😦

Interesting; History records during the reformation an estimated 5 million Catholics protested the apostolic Catholic church under reformation, and an estimated 14 million aztecs converted to Catholicism by the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary. God always has a remnant saved.

A side note, the blessed Virgin Mary brought Jesus to the Eastern world in the first century, and she brings Jesus to the Western world. What a Mother!

Today we celebrate the birth of the Protestant Reformation, the day Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Wittenburg church. Luthers objective was not to split the church or start a new movement, but to reform that which was already in place.

We seek to walk in that well worn path with a heart for reforming and rebuilding, not just dividing and tearing down. Remember our heritage today…it should be a special day for all of us in Protestant and Lutheran traditions.

“Sola’s” = the freedom of man’s will to believe and interpret God’s written word out side of Apostolic Traditional Catholic teachings, 1500 years later.

Thus more than one “Sola” more than one reformer, today more than one Christian protestant belief (not including non catholics) and the free will to change doctrine in the name of “Sola” freedom from the authority of Jesus who built One Holy Catholic Apostolic church.

Happy freedom today to choose to believe the way man wills to “Sola” believe in God?
 
Gab: “Sola’s” = the freedom of man’s will to believe and interpret God’s written word out side of Apostolic Traditional Catholic teachings, 1500 years later.

RA: “Sola’s” = freedom. Freedom to follow Christ alone and God’s Word, without being forced under threats to follow the dictates of a historically corrupt institution that has changed its doctrinal positions, according to what has been politically expedient. 😃

**Marco: **Aren’t you the author of The Truth Behind the Da Vinci Code? I really enjoyed that book!

RA: Yes. Even though I am an evangelical, that was a really unfair and inaccurate hit-piece (by Dan Brown) on the RCC and all of Christianity in general. I’m glad my book was helpful.

Is it true Martin Luther was a German, and the reason for his protest, was because of German priests and bishops were abusing Catholic practices in “indulgences”, and blamed the Whole Catholic Church from his present time and 1500 years of Catholicism had it wrong , so Martin Luther wanted to reform the ancient Catholic Church practices, to "Sola this and Sola that?
 
**Gab: **14 million aztecs converted to Catholicism by the apparition of the Blessed Virgin Mary. God always has a remnant saved.

RA: Yeah, the Aztecs, and many other peoples, had all kinds of pagan goddesses. Such apparitions were common – and still are in some areas. The RCC said, “Hey, that’s Mary. if you become RC we won’t kill all of you.”

Historian William B. Taylor recounted that Guadalupe has also been “acclaimed goddess of the maguey [agave]” and *pulque *was drunk on her feast day. A 1772 report described the rays of light around Guadalupe as maguey spines.

Yup. RC + paganism strikes again. 😦 Just a thought. (I’m assuming you are probably referring to Our Lady of Guadalupe).

I rest my case, the “Sola’s have it” they give themselves the freedom to interpret history as well, amazing. If it were not for Catholic martyrs and saints, you would not have the freedom today to speak such misinformed history. There is a difference in history from what is God’s and what is Ceasars, apparently you got them both mixed up in history. Hint, what is flesh is flesh, what is Spirit is Spirit.
 
**Gab: **they give themselves the freedom to interpret history as well, amazing.

RA: uhm, I don’t think so…but HAPPY REFORMATION DAY.

Wait a minute the REFORMERS BELIEVED IN THE BLESSED MOTHER as Catholics do today, yet you are celebrating them, and yet deny one of their fundamental Catholic belief’s in the Mother of Jesus?

Again I rest my case, oh happy freedom day for man’s freedom to pick, choose, change christian belief’s at the whym of every wind of doctrine. Happy freedom day RC
 
I don’t believe in the Mother of Jesus? What? That’s news to me.

What a day for Catholics, we must obey Jesus and his commands and keep them in life or death, just as the apostles and their successors did. The party of freedom to reform to “Sola” new Christian belief’s is very tempting:confused:

NAAAAHHH!, not thanks! I will follow the narrow path of Jesus and his apostles and remain in the One body of Jesus in HIs Holy Catholic apostolic church.🙂 🙂 👍

Peace and let freedom ring
