The thread was not begun as a frontal assault on Luther or protestantism and the statement that it was is false and provably so.
Also, the attacks began almost immediately....not from Catholics, but from protestants.
Foxe’s Book of Martyrs was not even mentioned until several posts after the one I challenged.
And, I did not comment on your debate with vladimir998.
I responded to post #66 which seems to serve no other purpose than to antagonize.
The acrimony here is palpable enough without adding to it with such blatant and pointless jabs.
God’s own fought the devil Luther. Nothing there a Protestant could possibly be offended by.
“The thread was not begun as a frontal assault on Luther or protestantism and the statement that it was is false and provably so.”
Well, I see it as a critique of Luther. He is compared and contrasted with a monk who managed to stay in the RC church.
I am ok with critiquing Luther in general, however, to say he left the RC Church when he was in fact excommunicated and sentenced to death is a bit much.
I assure you I have no personal acrimony towards you, and I was trying to write with cordialty, until such time as I was informed that Foxe’s was a book of myths (not by you), and got extremely disgusted. I put that right up there with Holocaust denial. I have no time for it.
