Pope Urges Prayerful Reading of Bible

Amen to that. Reading the Bible did wonders for Martin Luther!

[Running On Empty]

He forgot leave 7 books in the Bible.

Forsooth.

[cammie]

Yeah, it made him a heretic who wandered from the one true Church.
But seriously, must a Protestant start snarking in every thread about Catholicism? Is that some kind of FR rule I missed?

[Petronski]

Amen to that. Reading the Bible did wonders for Martin Luther!

It got him a head start tearing entire books out and throwing them away because they didn't fit his own personal interpretation of scripture.

[Salvation]

Luther adopted five solas that were really not in the Bible.

Sola scriptura (”by Scripture alone”)
Sola fide (”by faith alone”)
Solus Christus (”Christ alone”)
Sola gratia (”by grace alone”)
Soli Deo gloria (”Glory to God alone”)

He even added some of those words “faith alone” comes to mind, to the Scripture and excluded other books because they disproved his assertions.
