Happy Reformation Day GLP!

Most people couldn't read any language. What gave Luther the authority to translate? Was he guided by God? Were there attesting miracles to his teaching? Luther's translation was according to his idiosyncratic idea of Christianity. That is why he added a word to Romans to give his Sola Fide teaching credibility, which it didn't deserve.

Right, you are "bible believers". Like all the other "churches".

Baptists are ungrateful children of the Reformation. I was born a Baptist too, but have to come to realize some of their errors. Still love them as brethren. Protestant means witness; the protestants chiefly bore witness (protested) that the Pope was the Antichrist. Baptists are still waiting for a future Antichrist. That's why they are not protestants and I fear many will not enter the kingdom of God.

There are 7 churches mentioned in Scripture, not one, and these 7 churches are still here at the end of time. All 7 are not in one place, but all over the earth.

Not exactly true. Indulgences were sold, a practice since prohibited. But an indulgence is not a right to sin. An indulgence frees you from purgatory by remitting the penalty for sins for which you've been already forgiven. It isn't a right to sin. It isn't a get out of jail free card. You can object to purgatory and the sale of indulgences, but they aren't as you describe.

Well I wasn't "born a Baptist", how does that happen?

You are confused

Your user image shows the deepness of your satanic anti-christian believes.

And what is your proof of this assertion?

That's nonsense.

The bible clearly says: "One Lord, one faith, one baptism."

Ephesians 4:4-6- “Careful to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace. One body and one Spirit; as you are called in the hope of your calling. One Lord, one faith, one baptism. One God and Father of all…”

So the bible is nonsense, well end of discussion

No, your hogwash is nonsense.

How about this, what is the Bible and how do you know it is divinely inspired? How do you know what books are in the Bible? Protestantism is built on the basis that all that is necessary for salvation is revealed in the Bible. But how do you even know what the Bible is? The Catholic Church has a good answer. The Church, founded by Jesus, tells us what is Holy Scripture. The Protestant answer is, that evil Catholic Church was good enough to give us the right Bible, with some extra books, but then went off the rails, even though it didn't change in any substantive way since giving us that book. Protestants can't even justify their sole rule of faith without borrowing from the Catholic Church.

Praise the Lord for Jan Hus and Martin Luther!

Hebrews 12:1 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us

Also, Christians ought not be keeping Saimhain, the birthday of the Celtic sun god, nor Christ-mass, the birthday of the Babylonian sun god.

Here we see another one of Luthers fruits, where protestants are now railing against Christmas.

It's good when you expose yourself such as this.

Thanks be to God for allowing the world access to the scriptures and having the bible in their own tongues
So as to identify the antichrist papacy and be free from the devils deceptions of roman catholicism
Amen glory to God through his beloved son Jesus the messiah Lord of all.

Hus was a Donatist. One of his condemned articles was:

'No one is a civil master, no one is a prelate, no one is a bishop while he is in mortal sin.'

He thought no one could have any power, even civil, if he was in mortal sin. Of course this also meant Hus believed in mortal sin.

Hus's followers, like all Protestants, immediately couldn't agree with each other. They formed many factions and fought amongst themselves.

Thank you for posting this! I was telling someone about this & they thought I was nuts. Told me I must be talki g about the day of the dead.

So, Martin Luther had a school shooter bowl cut?

You do know Lutherans and Catholics are in full communion?

Hear, hear!

Great post

Born a Baptist means, I was raised as one. My mother gave me to the Lord while still in her womb. My father taught me to fear and love God from my earliest years. Ohh ... I know what you mean. You don't believe that infants can be saved... yes, believers baptism only. One of the greatest errors among Baptists is the denial of salvation to their infants. Jesus said, Forbid not the little children to come to me.

That's not true at all. There are many churches in the Catholic Church, not just the Roman Catholic Church. They are all in communion with each other. The Catholic Church isn't even in full communion with the Orthodox and they are far closer to the Catholic Faith then Lutherans.

Well you could have been raised as anything, that doesn't make you a Christian.
I can decide as a Christian what church to attend and I will attend one where Christ is the acknowledged head, not some human.
You have no idea what I believe regarding infants so don't act like you do or put words in my mouth.

Sorry we all started reading for ourselves the truth contained in the bible so your anti-christ pope's couldn't keep lying and deceiving....no...I'm not sorry. Praise God for Luther's bravery in nailing his 95 Theses on the door!

:topgunfive:
Exactly!

Reading the truth contained in Holy Scripture is good. Reading Holy Scripture and coming up with an interpretation contrary to the revealed Faith of the Apostles is not good. The Bible must not be that easy to read since Protestants have all sorts of contradictory interpretations. If God intended to spread Christianity through reading He would have incarnated after the invention of the printing press and high literacy rates.

People fight over money and power, not God.

And how are the protestants not different in a sense than the jews, with their many groups and interpretations of what is Holy Writ only to descend into materialism?

The r.c. did change after vatican 2 into a less punitive stance ("God is love") and tried to do what they have always done, which is adapt to hold together (the ecumenism movement).

The movie, "Brother sun, sister moon" shows so clearly to me how the r.c. operates.

St. francis of assisi comes before the pope to ask permission to start his order.

The hall is filled with the cacophony of the human condition. We, as well as the pope, witness the profanity of it all.

But the pope, as he is trained to do, also sees the sacred in francis, symbolized by the shaft of light, and grants his request, which renews the church of the time.


The r.c. is no different in the search for guidance from the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, the One Jesus promised could only come after His death, "I will not leave you orphans."

Without the r.c., there would be no protestantism.
She has kept the faith all these millennia.

Of more concern is the drop off in any christian church attendance.

People need to hear about the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus and that we are soul as well as body.

Yes, faith, but also works: "For I was hungry and you gave me to eat, thirsty, and you gave me to drink...."

Getting people to help one another is quite the task.

Why?

Thanks OP. Justification by faith, not works, restored to the church.

I didn't have much time to look it up...but I think that is a Hypothesis Contrary to Fact Fallacy.

You are also implying that your anti-Christ popes are apostles...which of course is a lie.

Praise God that Tyndale endured the torture and hardship he faced and made the Word of God available to men without the need for priests!
