Faith alone, Grace alone, Scripture alone.
Another “bait” thread.
Post tenebras lux!
"No bishops! No kings!"
We kneel to none but Christ!
Does that mean he became a lapsed or former Romanist?
Did he still carry his indelible spot?
Could he still use his holy water spa tub?
Go figure.
lol. Sounds about right.
Which of the three alones is the one that I alone need, or is it pick any one of the three?
Which of the 3 simultaneous "Popes" was the infallible one in the year 1410? They all condemned each other as well.
Maybe it was a tribute to the trinity? :)
If Luther were alive today, which branch of Lutheranism would he belong to? Does the branch in Germany pretty much stay close to his views?
I’m no Spanish historian, but since the Inquisition was an *ecclesiastical* court, I don’t see how any Jewish person could fall under its purview. As far as I know, it did not have any jurisdiction over Jews, pagans, or anyone already not in the Church.
The conversos, yes, as they would have been become Catholics by their Baptism and by that fact subject to the Inquisition. But not Jews proper—at least from what I know.
And forced Baptism has never to my knowledge been approved by the Church, so if it happened in Spain we can lay that at the feet of an overzealous State and not the Inquisition.
I brought up the fact that the Roman Catholic Church used to burn Bibles and Bible translators on one thread and was told categorically by a Catholic FReeper that no such thing had ever happened. The same person also renounced Luther’s 95 theses as ‘hate’ against the RCC.
To which I say: If it acts like a cult, talks like a cult, denies its abuses like a cult, attempts to silence critics like a cult, then it’s probably not a duck.
Hitler would have incurred a number of laete sententiae (automatic but non-declared) excommunications under the old code of canon law. There is a more medicinal point in making a declaration concerning a theologian than a psychotic dictator, and a more prudential point in being content with an encyclical written in German that really ticked off the old goat.

If Luther were alive today he’d be trying to get the heck out of his coffin.
2 Timothy 3:14-17.
2 Peter 1:19-21.

Oooh... once again, that’ll leave a mark!
:D

Not Bible translators. Bible mistranslators.

And what good evangelical Church produced a document of equal weight? See also my post 25.
A dark day for the church.
One excuse after another.
If the Vatican wanted to make a statement against racism and antisemitism, it would have excommunicated Hitler decades ago. In public. Formally.
It didn't. It hasn't. It won't.
Obviously, Rome likes it that way.
