“Your History is Catholic history”.
Catholic history IS CHRISTIAN HISTORY. If you had lived before your glorious reformation in the 1500s you would have been a Catholic. Luther absolutely never intended for the Catholic Church to break apart. He wanted public discussions about indulgencies to be made by the Church. But idiots around him had other ideas. The forces of Satan won out and the Church was split, and apostolic succession was broken forever for those that followed the forces of evil that were intent on destroying the Church. Luther would have been appalled at the idea of a faith calling itself the Luthern Church. It was morons that followed him that broke away from the TRUE CHURCH, i.e, CATHOLIC CHURCH.
This protest against indulgences would become a protest against Rome itself and thus marked the start of the Protestant Reformation.
Amazingly, this protest would succeed, gain the support of German nobles, and overthrow the dominion of the pope in central Europe. In fact, no public discussion took place at all, but students—who already agreed with him—published and spread the 95 theses throughout Germany in the matter of a few weeks.
Keep in mind though, that at the time …
Luther had as yet no idea of reforming the Catholic church, and still less of separating from it. All the roots of his life and piety were in the historic church, and he considered himself a good Catholic even in 1517, and was so in fact. He still devoutly prayed to the Virgin Mary from the pulpit; he did not doubt the intercession of saints in heaven for the sinners on earth; he celebrated mass with full belief in the repetition of the sacrifice on the cross and the miracle of transubstantiation. (History of the Christian Church, Vol. VII, ch. 2, sec. 29)
Later, shortly before his death, Luther would write a preface to the 95 theses describing himself as an “insane papist” at the time, and he added, “I would have readily murdered any person who denied obedience to the Pope.”
“Your History is Catholic history”.Christians have been around since Jesus first started his ministry. No Catholics were though. Catholicism didn't start until hundreds of years later, backed up by history.Catholic history IS CHRISTIAN HISTORY. If you had lived before your glorious reformation in the 1500s you would have been a Catholic.
I didn't read any further than what I c/p'd back to you because if you cannot even understand that you are addressing me in a way that does not relate to my relationship with God---and all the rest doesn't relate to most Christians lives anyway ,all of the rest of what you posted is as untrue as your misconception of my faith.
Your apparant hatred for all things and people non Catholic is a sickness.
For goodness sake, can't you be honest?
Your failure to understand the basic concepts and percepts of Christianity is astounding.
I suggest you look in a mirror and read these scripture aloud:
Your statements reeks of propanganda and falseity.
There are six things which the LORD hates, Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood,
A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that run rapidly to evil,
A false witness who utters lies,
And one who spreads strife among brothers.---Proverbs 6:16-19
A lying tongue hates those that are afflicted by it; and a flattering mouth works ruin.--Proverbs 26:28
