That Goes exactly to the point of what some of us are saying here. Because of the Watered-down Gospel, being separate (Holy, Saintly) From the world does not occur in the church anymore for the large part. We are in the world, But not of the world. This shows in the "theatrics" in the modern...

Do you know my motive to judge me? As For personal insults, The Cretians are alway liars, evil beasts, slow bellies. Paul agreed with this "Insult" When he said to rebuke them sharply. Or how about Elijah when he mocked the gods of the false prophets.... "...Perhaps they are relieving...

Yes, Righteous anger is Biblical.... Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write unto you of the common salvation, it was needful for me to write unto you, and exhort you that ye should earnestly contend for the faith which was once delivered unto the saints. Jude 1:3 For behold this selfsame...

Righteous anger excuses such behavior. Even Jesus overturned the tables of the money changers.... did he not love them?

Sometimes you can sense when someone is just trying to bring divisiveness for the sake of dividing.... In This case he was. And His arguments showed he is not a truth seeker but one trying to defend his denomination.... Kind of like most of the Catholics on this board. Any Discussion that is...

Of the sons of Issachar who had understanding of the times, to know what Israel ought to do, their chiefs were two hundred.... --1 Chronicles 12:32 A prophet is one who knows his times and what God is trying to say to the people of his times.... Today we need prophetic preachers; not preachers...

May I suggest you also read the writings of Deitrich Bonhoeffer as well.

The wikipedia article should show you what those deep roots are.... Luther himself was German and Protestantism was the prevailing religion in Germany and Hitler played into these antisemitic teachings in Protestantism. Any one who knows any history at all will confirm this. I Myself was born...

Germany was a protestant country at the time of Hitler, Evangelical/Lutheran. My Father fought on the side of the Nazi's (We were not German). I Fought antisemitism in my own family and relatives.... Much of it was justified by Lutheran doctrine.... so I have first hand experience. You want...

His antisemitism led to the justification for Hitler directly..... The church was largely silent in Germany because of the antisemitism in Lutheran Doctrine. It's always the man's fault, I see how you ladies are. :contemplate:

So What pronouns do you use? (Sarcasm intended) :Laughingoutloud:

Ok Got you. You see why I read that into your comment? Should have said "It happens in every place that the flesh of men rule over the men because satan can so easily manipulate US THROUGH that flesh." My fault for getting nitpicky about grammar.

You ever read Luther's writings apart from the 95 theses? Like I said, He is no hero to me as his teaching led directly to the justification of the Holocaust, But I do believe that God used him. You asked me to be honest with you, so from what I read above in your comment, there seems to be a...

The Word saints refers to those set apart from the whole and consecrated. In the OT the Levites were referred to as saints, the Rest of the Hebrew People as the faithful. For example, Hosea 11:12 States: Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, and the house of Israel with deceit: but Judah yet...

If Luther did not do what he did we would still be under the Nicolaitan Papacy. America as a republic probably would not exist, and we would be living in the dark ages when it comes to Spiritual liberty. The Protestant work ethic helped to build this country to be a beacon of Liberty.... And...

You are entitled to your opinion, but for me I have made peace with my protestant past. Luther lived in a different time than we do... I try to judge him by the context of the times he lived in, just like the Catholic church, and fundamentalism, and Pentecostalism etc. Each have their good and...

Brought back many memories of Potluck dinners.

Not at all. As I wrote to Cady and Zoe, God's love is being perfected in us. The More we submit to God, the more we become vessels of God's love flowing from us. We learn to obey Jesus new commandment, to Love one another as He loved us. A saint is marked by the Agape love that motivates their...

By Saying a saint is less than God, I am saying a saint first and foremost is submitted to God fully. A saint is a term that is applied to those who are servants of God.... God is Holy, we grow in holiness and godliness by our submission and surrender of our will to the will of God by yielding...
