Bible Note: Really, no offense intended here, how could they both have been right and both wrong? Where exactly do you hold Luther to be right and the Church to be wrong, because they definitely were not saying the same thing in different terms. This is the first time I have ever heard a Roman Catholic say that Luther was right in anything in the disagreement between the Reformation and Rome. I sincerely want to know on what doctrinal issues you claim that Rome was in error. Specifically, who was right on whether justification is merited by us or solely by God's grace? Is justification earned via our works or received on the basis of faith alone? Is Scripture alone our ultimate authority or Scripture and the pronouncements of the RCC? I our salvation solely accomplished by the mediatorial work of Christ on the Cross 2000 years ago? These are the issues on which the Reformation hinged. Where has Rome changed its position on any of these? If your position differs from that of Rome, I would love to hear that, too. Thanks! --Joe! |
