Newsweek.Com ^ | 2/12/15 | Felicity Capon

Astronomical sales of a tiny figurine of the Protestant reformation figure Martin Luther, have confounded its maker, Playmobil, by becoming the fastest-selling Playmobil figure of all time.

The German toy manufacturer announced this week that the first edition of 34,000 pieces sold out in less than 72 hours, forcing the company to urgently request its factory in Malta to produce more of the so-called “little Luthers”. Fans have been warned that the next batch will not be available until the end of April.

“...he had very modern ideas. He believed every person had the right to an education, including women and girls. In this aspect, he was a very 21st century man.”

>>People who tried to convince Christians to return to the bondage of the law. To make mandatory Jewish customs.<<

And it continues to this very day.

When are they going to make one of Mohammed ?

If they did that could you imagine all the little plastic heads rolling around under the furniture?

Maybe they could make a pocket sized Mohammed clock for people who need to stay frosty.

True, but Romans was written to the church at Rome. That means something.

But ALL of Paul’s letters, are and were important, not just Romans.

Lucky for the buyers these aren’t made in China, otherwise they would come with 95 feces.

And just when did the FRoman Catholic church start encouraging it’s rank and file to take up and read?

when it was realistic for them to do so...for most of the history of Christianity.....say the first 1500 years...most peopple couldn'tc read. First of all, there was VERY little to read. Books were extremely rare and extremely expensive because they were ALL written and copied by hand. There were, of course, in large metropolitan areas, libraries. Those libraries, however were not like todays lending libraries but were, more or less, places where you could go to research what material was there for a specific purpose. In the 1500's when Gutenburg invented and perfected the printing press, the bible became more available for the general public. There was a time when versions of the bible and scriptures which were inaccurate were circulated and hence the church, he ONLY defender of the faith, forbade their distrubution....Before the press, you couldn't possibly have afforded a Bible....after the press, when AUTHORIZED versions became available, there were no longer any restrictions on owning one.

I grew up in a community dominated by catholics. I never realized the reason I never had meat on Friday in the cafeteria was because of false doctrine.

Friday abstinance laws were very local in nature, were not Catholic doctrine, and the reason for meat not being served in the cafeteria was just out of respect for the probably large number of Catholics in your school.
