    Was Luther Insane?

    I thought I did address the first post when I observed that Martin Luther's sanity (or lack of it) was not relevant. What matters is if his theology is true or false.

    Was Luther Insane?

    Too clever by half, as a Brit might say, such advice is wicked not good. It does not make Martin Luther insane to give it all it does is make his theological and pastoral advice bad.

    Was Luther Insane?

    It is a hellish epiphany to advise people to sin boldly. More a "revelation" from Satan than one from God.

    Salvation

    Let the holy scriptures speak for themselves rather than offering your commentary on what you think they mean. What the passages say is that: God makes no distinction between persons, but judges, according to each one’s deeds. A person is justified by works, and not by faith alone. And just as...

    Should the penalties be less serious for the murder of an unborn infant than the penalties for the murder of a born child?

    Is your creed catholic, Catholic, or Christian?

    Saint Paul gives his reasons in this passage: Galatians 2:1-10 1 Next, after fourteen years, I went up again to Jerusalem, taking with me Barnabas and Titus. 2 And I went up according to revelation, and I debated with them about the Gospel that I am preaching among the Gentiles, but away from...

    Salvation

    When holy scripture is quoted you say it is out of context but offer no context now you say "let scripture speak for itself". Well, okay. Here is holy scripture speaking for itself: 1 Peter 1:13 So, then, let your spirit be ready. Be alert, with confident trust, in the grace you will receive...

    Salvation

    Salvation is not so complicated nor so divorced from human will and human action. God saves, Jesus Christ is the Saviour, and human beings are saved by God. It is by grace through faith for the purpose of doing the good works that God prepared to be a Christian's way of life. 135. How...

    Was Luther Insane?

    I do not claim to know what Martin Luther may have meant by the words Sin Boldly but it strikes me as bad theology and bad pastoral practise to advise people to sin.

    Should abortion be illegal?

    Do you really think that the penalties ought to be less serious for the murder of an unborn infant than the penalties for the murder of a born child?

    Is your creed catholic, Catholic, or Christian?

    Brother psalms 91, of course there were many churches in the world when the Apostles' creed was written, a church in Corinth, one in Rome, one in Jerusalem and each of those churches had numerous locations with numerous congregations but all the churches and all the locations were part of one...

    Salvation

    This thread is about salvation not specifically about justification. I started a thread on Justification a while back and after 1,800 or more posts it had to be closed because some of the people writing posts were unable to remain civil. I do not want this thread to go the same way. Return to...

    Is your creed catholic, Catholic, or Christian?

    At the time that the creeds were written there was exactly one holy catholic and apostolic church, there were Gnostic sects, and Arian sects, and various other heretical sects but there was exactly one catholic church described as holy and apostolic.

    Should abortion be illegal?

    Does that mean life imprisonment in some states of the USA and the death penalty in other states of the USA; death or life imprisonment for both the doctor performing the abortion and the mother who freely and willingly procured it?

    Right Division

    Two programs? I know of several covenants but there appears to be "One Lord, one faith, one baptism" as God's program for the faithful. Be anxious to preserve the unity of the Spirit within the bonds of peace. One body and one Spirit: to this you have been called by the one hope of your...

    Salvation

    The protestant revolt centred around indulgences and the veneration of the saints and the real presence., The first two were condemned by Lutherans and others, the last was condemned by Zwingli and Anabaptists. Justification by "faith alone" became a catch cry in the proposed "remedy" for the...
