    Were the Reformers Saved?

    Instead of finding a church and taking part, I study the biblical model for a church and look for that. If it bothers my conscience to tithe to a church I might visit, I walk away and keep looking.

    Religion ceased to exist

    The world would probably be a much better place. But God supernaturally creates believers apart from their wills, so we would still exist. But it seems, no need to deal with the mass confusion caused by false religion, including false Christianity.

    Were the Reformers Saved?

    They departed from the creeds. Remember Augustine and Pelagius? Most if not all follow Pelagius in his heresy today. Free Will is still heresy.

    Were the Reformers Saved?

    Shunning works. It keeps the lights turned on the sin normally causing the person to repent. I worked around the Mennonites for a couple of years as a war resister. It's a completely different atmosphere than what we normally experience today. Very courageous people. One of my buddies was a...

    Were the Reformers Saved?

    Luther, your guy admits to killing 1000s. "Say it ain't so joe" Is all you can come up with.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    What about? “Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Your problem is you need to interpret scripture as the audience to whom it is addressed would. You miss it completely thinking like a 21st-century American. Why would you ignore the promise to Abraham and substitute your Americanised mind in place of a first-century Jew if I'm not right?

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    The masses hate God and worship idols. They cannot believe unless first Born of God. So Jesus is speaking to those with ears to hear.

    He admits to it. When he [Luther] was in later years reproached for such violent language, and for inciting territorial lords to merciless slaughter (they killed over 100,000 peasants), he answered defiantly: "It was I, Martin Luther, who slew all the peasants in the insurrection, for I...

    Were the Reformers Saved?

    Menno Simons speaks for most. You would like the Munster group to identify Anabaptism but it does not. Compare your church history to the Mennonites. It will speak volumes.

    Were the Reformers Saved?

    I agree with the seven ecumenical councils. They not only make sure I'm conformed to ancient Christianity, but they also help me spot heretical movements in today's churches.

    Were the Reformers Saved?

    Most Anabaptists were pacifists under the tutelage of Menno Simons. They lived the Sermon on the Mount. The Munster group was not cut from the same cloth. But it seems the bigotry of the age tried to use them to undermine Menno and his students. How do you stack up with the Sermon on the...

    Were the Reformers Saved?

    I'm a Calvinistic Baptist. But I don't think Calvin was saved, nor any of the Reformers. I live the Sermon on the Mount. I could call myself an Augustinian Baptist but people are more familiar with Calvin.

    Were the Reformers Saved?

    Anabaptism was made a capital crime. Prices were set on the heads of Anabaptists. To give them food and shelter was a made a crime. The duke of Bavaria, in 1527, gave orders that the imprisoned Anabaptists should be burned at the stake — unless they recanted, in which case they should be...

    The Unbelieving Pharisees of John 10

    Did Jesus die for these? “What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction:” Romans 9:22 (KJV 1900)

    Were the Reformers Saved?

    Luther's own words: "For if a man is an open rebel, every man is his judge and executioner, just as when a fire starts, the first to put it out is best man. . . . Therefore let everyone who can smite, slay, and stab, secretly or openly, remembering that nothing can be more poisonous, hurtful...

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    God hates sinners. You are lying to say otherwise. He only loves the righteous whom Jesus made such by His full payment for their sins.

    Jesus died for the sins of the world

    Did Jesus die for the goats? No, He died for the sheep.

    Were the Reformers Saved?

    Thanks again for the opportunity to keep Luther's own words about your issue before the public's eyes. But here is Luther again, in his own words: When he [Luther] was in later years reproached for such violent language, and for inciting territorial lords to merciless slaughter (they killed...

    Were the Reformers Saved?

    Is it your job to judge my motives? That is a sin for us to do so. I recall trying to get a brother to use fewer words to be more understandable but you scolded me for that as if I shared the same motive you might have if you were to do that. BTW, I think you are doing a good job in your position.
