Subject: Early church support for Peter as Pope? |
Bible Note: How easily we Monday morning quarterbacks criticize the decisions and question the motives of the reformers. I do not now nor have I ever belonged to the Lutheran church, but I shudder to think where the Christian church would be today without Martin Luther. This reminds me of a couple of months ago when the forum was on some kick where they were questioning the motives of the Apostles. I know not what others may do, but as for me I choose not to go there. Martin Luther "allowed himself" to be separated from the church? His only alternative was to lie and recant what he believed with all his heart. There is no evidence whatsoever that the Roman Catholic church would have cleaned up its act on its own without the influence of the Reformers. Do you like reading the Bible in your own language? Martin Luther was one of the first to translate the Bible into the language of the people. |
