Martin Luther

(1/2) > >>

gmik:
did anyone catch the PBS special about the Protestant Reformer??

Historically it is exciting, and his own personal journey too...pt 2 is next week but I think part 1 is still being shown...

Pope Leo X was a piece of work- wikipedia him- babylonian central- exactly what Ray teaches to watch out for...

The decadence of Rome was a eye opener for Luther.

Craig:
Yeah but check out Luther, he was an evil chap himself.

Why does some of the worst evils in the world have its roots in religion and it's leaders?

Oh right, because it is the synagogue of Satan..

octoberose:
Apparently he was unbelieveable anti-semetic- not unusual for his time, but when you read his writings he was really hateful. Hitler is said to have read Luther and been influenced by it. I didnt know this until recently- hardly the kind of thing Lutherans will bragg about!

gmik:
wow....wonder if PBS will bring out all that...

I married a "Lutheran" and so I took the classes and "joined" but sure don't remember learning anything bad about him...hmmm

I remember his quote" I hope the Lord returns tomorrow, but I am going to plant an apple tree today"...not sure of meaning but it always stuck w/ me (more or less)...

--- End quote ---



That was a strange and judgemental thing to say. An all encompassing dismissal of a man and his life's work as evil.

Luther, like all great men in religion, got it wonderfully right and horribly wrong in his 62 years. God engineered both paths.
 Then you dismiss all churches and religions as synagogues of satan. Good grief. God allowed Catholics, Protestantism and Muslims ect. to flourish and grow. And God can bring them down if that is His will.
 How can you credit everything in religion to satan. ?
