1 | Confused | 1 Tim 2:12 | EdB | 147007 | ||
Tim I don't think I characterized the Reformation, I did add some explanation for some driving forces behind it. I see the Reformation as needed, the church needed reformed, but I have a problem with the result. Martin Luther wanted the church to remain one, his was not dividing force. He was merely a pawn used by the wannabe "power brokers" of the time to free themselves of Rome. Your absolutely right the reformation was over false teaching mainly of indulgences which was an idea generated to raise the building capital for the Cathedrals of Rome. But let us not be deceived the motivates to split from Rome was various men’s desire for power and to do as they pleased. EdB |

Greetings EdB! Which men? I would agree that Luther probably wanted the church to remain united, but he was not willing to remain united at the cost of truth. Therefore, a split was inevitable. I certainly can't see Luther being a 'pawn' of anyone though! ;-) Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Tim: You write: "I would agree that Luther probably wanted the church to remain united, but he was not willing to remain united at the cost of truth." You've said it all. That's the whole Reformation issue in a nutshell. We must always unite around the truth, not in spite of it. Grace to you, Kalos |
