Nevertheless, I wonder how many of Luther's 95 theses are still relevant to the principles and practices of the modern Church. I've yet to meet a single Protestant who has revisited and re-evaluated the original complaints.

Take a look sometime and see how many of the 95 theses could apply to various Protestant churches that routinely try to convince their members that their salvation is linked to what portion of their income they give to the church.

Can we stick to the subject here? The link in the OP is about PROBLEMS WITH THE DOCTRINE OF SOLA SCRIPTURA. It's a bit long, but presents an interesting critique of contemporary Christianity and the doctrine that the bible alone is the sole rule of faith. The topic is a fundamental one for modern Christians. In fact, the subject is the elephant in the living room of contemporary Christianity.

It would indeed be nice if we could all act like adults and actually stick to the subject and be objective, rather than resorting to internecine griping.
