How do you justify belonging to a team of child abusers?

@@bobsmith-qu2oq The sin of a handful should not be blamed on everyone. Everybody makes mistakes and yes, offenders need to be sanctioned. However, there are a lot of Catholics who are trying their best to live according to the good teachings of Christ. I hope you can also see the good side of the Catholic Church. It is not a perfect community; but then, every organization. group or community has its strengths and weaknesses. May God bless you!

Well, he is your messiah.

Luther was a master con artist. His motivation to leave the Church wasn’t inspired by any saintly reforming zeal, but rather to justify his immoral and frankly mentally unstable appetites. He capitalised on the corruption of the day to justify leaving the bride of Christ. God have mercy on him!

He put himself above the church

@@koppite9600he never wanted to separate the church, but to reform it. He was a Catholic priest who pointed out the irony of non religious practices and abuses of the Church.

@@mic1240 when David wanted to build The Temple he was told no. Solomon came and built it. Luther built without any permission, was he sure God had no one to come after him and reform the Catholic Church? Luther fell into the temptation of building a seperate church.

@@koppite9600 your history is inaccurate. He had no desire to build a distinct church, he wanted reform, as did others. many reforms he and others wanted have come to the Catholic Church. The decisions the Catholic Church mane which had zero to do with Biblical teachings or religious basis, and societal factors (including Luther’s belief all people should be able to read, printing press, etc) fueled.

Rick Stevens you remind me of the awesome Parishoner that adopted and hosted me for personalized tour of the Presidents Church St. John's just a few blocks from the White House. By chance,my Brother in Faith, was that you? Claude Oliver

@@claudeoliver6138 Is he Claude Oliver?

He is Lutheran! ;o] He shoudl know all of this!!!! God Bless Rick for sharing hte truth!

I really like Rick’s travel videos, but he made a mistake in entering into religious themes such as this. His obvious Lutheranism shaded the presentation and has contributed to the division

UNBALANCE STORY TELLER.

@@jentjiaotjhen2756 I wouldn't be a Catholic for "love or money!"

steves can do anything bro

Corporations are antichrist and run by nicolaitans, that is, clergy over the laity. Priests of Ba'al, basically. Christ's churches are a spiritual entity comprised of called out and assembled saints and any common property is held in trust for the Lord Jesus Christ. My pastor is as accountable to God's word as any other member and no man is above any other in the authoritarian sense. The body labors together and no one has any salary. But you'll never find but a few Baptists who ever so obeyed God, and Luther wanted us exterminated. Why? He's Rome's child. All the reformers are. Perhaps not all lost, but mostly.

Its not up to churches but you as an individual to help people. Didn't your church teach you that God tests our individual agencies to help alleviate suffering?

Also you aren't Christ. You don't get to tell any body of believers what they are to do. what you are describing is a byproduct of Nicolaitanism, which Jesus already condemned, and which the so called reformed so called churches practice openly.

Amen, God speaks of these false profits and how He wll deal with them in the end days [now}

Excellent discussion,

Oh, I wish I could have been there

I too did the 500th anniversary tour and it was amazing! To see the churches and places where Martin Luther lived was a dream come true! Great history and customs in Germany! Very fortunate to do it.

ah but Luther never got to text a emoji tho

Please go to the English Wikipedia and see the doctrine of Martin Luther against the Jewish People. Hittler used that doctrine to gain power in Germany, it was in the culture of Lutheran church against the Jewish people. He did followed the Catholic Church doctrine against the Jeswish people. He did translate the bible and did not learned the doctrine of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

So is an unrepentant mass murderer also saved if only he believes in Jesus? Works are not to boast but to show charity as Jesus taught us what the first and second most important rules are

Gg

If you are angry with your brother, you deserve the same condemnation as a murderer. Remember the sermon on the mount. And a regenerate heart will lead to a different life.

n Luther's time, the Catholic Church was vast and the Pope could not possibly know everything that is happening within each Church. Modern communication, like phones, telegraph, and the internet did not exist. The undeniable fact that individual Catholics (perhaps the best known of them being the German Dominican Johann Tetzel [1465-1519]) did sell indulgences--but in doing so they acted CONTRARY to explicit Church regulations. This practice is utterly OPPOSED to the Catholic Church's teaching on indulgences, and it cannot be regarded as a teaching or practice of the Church. In the 16th century, when the abuse of indulgences was at its height, Cardinal Cajetan (Tommaso de Vio, 1469-1534) wrote about the problem: "Preachers act in the name of the Church so long as they teach the doctrines of Christ and the Church; but if they teach, guided by their own minds and arbitrariness of will, things of which they are ignorant, they cannot pass as representatives of the Church; it need not be wondered at that they go astray." The Council of Trent instituted severe reforms in the practice of granting indulgences, and, because of prior abuses, "in 1567 Pope Pius V canceled all grants of indulgences involving any fees or other financial transactions" (Catholic Encyclopedia). This act proved the Church’s seriousness about removing abuses from indulgences. ************************************* Yes, the Catholic Church has indulgences, but they were not for sale. They were personal sacrifices made for sinners, so that God would intervene on their behalf, like fasting and praying. If we ignore the fact of indulgences, we neglect what Christ does through us, and we fail to recognize the value of what he has done in us. Paul used this very sort of language: "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I complete what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions for the sake of his body, that is, the church" (Col. 1:24)

@David Ortiz What's the point? I can say, read the Hussite Wars. Muntzer supported the revolt. And the cause was not about being Catholic (actually many weren't) it was about the oppressive taxes by the nobility. They revolted because they thought they had the Tacit approval of Luther (priesthood of believers doctrine). The peasants revolt followed the Knights Revolt, headed by Franz von Sickingen (Live 5 kilometers from where he died). Why did Luther object to the revolts, he didn't war. He doesn't help himself by his writing style. He also felt that war would only hurt the reformation movement. Heck Even Engels recognized the war was class struggle and not religious. I suggest you read more than just stuff that reinforces your bias.

Agreed. Remarkably well done. I enjoyed it and it was riveting at times.

It's odd that your denomination did not exist for 1500 years. So people were in the wrong until your denomination came along.
