The left has solidly guaranteed that some things will never be forgotten.

Justice Kavanaugh!

This small excerpt might demonstrate what I find fascinating about McGrath's book: The printed book was one of the most significant factors in molding intellectual opinion across sixteenth-century Europe. Books were easily transported, could cross national frontiers undetected, and found their...

I snuck a peek at Ellen White's book. I read the preface. I have to admit that I feel I am going to have a hard time with this one. In typical fashion, White went directly to Eschatology and the touting of herself as the latest prophet sent to enlighten the world. I know you SDA's believe all...

OK, I got the book. All 42 Chapters of it (almost 700 pages) I think that woman tried to write the entire Bible in that book. It will be at least two weeks before I begin reading, but I have it, anyway. Thank you for the suggestion.

Thank God we only have those seven sins to be concerned with. :D

That's pretty much the same way I look at Revelation. See? We aren't arguing about it. I think, mainly, it is "pride" and that insistence that "I am right and anyone not agreeing with me is wrong" that causes all the tension and strife. It probably has very little to do with any "truths."

OK, perhaps she might have some interesting input. I will look into it further.

It seems that Luther made the unfortunate choice of going over Tetzel's head, and reporting the abuse to the very man that Tetzel was taking these orders from. Luckily for Luther, at the time, Charles V, who was also complicit in this, was otherwise preoccupied with more pressing military...

Unfortunately that attempt would soon be divided between those (like me) who think that Revelation was actually written to, and for, the churches it was specifically addressed to, and delivered to, and John asked to read it in their congregations... and those who think it was written to, and...

My hat is off to many of you. Usually In the past, I just fleetingly glanced at some of the silliness BOL threw out, and then just dismissed it. But, I have to take a bow to you people who have been steadily trying to get past his religious paranoia in order to try and help him see even a...

Yeah, there were hundreds of people moving toward Protesting, and most — especially Luther — seemed intent on getting back to the original Bible words..... in the vernacular of the common man.

I think I DO recall being called "ignorant."

I thought the Pope had some kind of special direct connection with Jesus. You mean it was kept secret from HIM? The Pope is fallible?

And the Church leaders never heard a word about it? Where did they think all that money was coming from?

I like that #. Read the same # (27) in the theses. Obviously the Church's own priests were doing this preaching.

Luther never set out to subvert nor replace the church. What he was saying in those first things is "that since it is true that we say we believe and we teach these truths, WHY are we introducing all these other things that we (the Church) use to bilk money out of the believers?"

I figure if the Church wasn't doing it, Martin Luther wouldn't have complained about it..... No one would have even noticed his rant. But, as it seems it was...………… the Church officials were quite upset with him.

Wait till you get down into the 20's and beyond. LOL

Is this not considered a valid and accurate historical document? Martin Luther's 95 Theses
