Umm, Luther held a doctorate in theology and had been ordained bt the Catholic Church 10 prior to the Reformation.

-— I’ve never understood why anyone would consider him as theologian. -—

Compare Luther’s writings to St. Thomas’ Summa Theologica. There’s nothing to debate.

The feely, feely, PC church of Vat II or the truth as professed by the doctrine of the Catholic Church, and preached loud and clear by all Catholic theologians for the last 2,000 years. The Reformation is nothing to be celebrated by the Catholic Church. It was an abomination against God and should be denounced loud and clear by all faithful Catholics.

I think that if there is an attempt at reconciliation here, the Lutheran church and the "reformation" will, indeed, be taken to task for the damage that they have incurred.

There should be admissions of "guilt" and an acknowledgement that they are RETURNING TO THE FOLD so to speak if they reestablish communion with the Catholic Church....I think that the church of England is kind of doing that now.

Well it’s a start.

It sure is. It's a start to wholesale apostasy from the Catholic Faith.

“Martin Luther WAS “Father Martin Luther,” a very erudite Catholic priest and theologian in his day”

Whoop de doo! Satan WAS an Angel in his day.

Well, for that to happen you boys will have to get busy shedding non-Biblical doctrine and practice. I hope you do.

Do you think the conservative Lutheran churches will also join in?

LOL. We have no communion with lib 'lutherans' as they are apostate, fleeing the Word of God, substituting their own judgements. In that respect, you guys might find common ground. On the moral front, the Catholic church can't really embrace them, at least until the Pope fixes the Catholics.

Because he smoked the best you had like Grant took Vicksburg?

He's still an angel.

Whose "judgements" are you using?

The Pope's?

Those outlined in God's Scripture.

The Pope's?

Considering how that's working out for Catholics, I wouldn't rate his as an upgrade.

Leftover copy, obviously meant to reference your point of Satan as an angel.

Don't say your own.

That's what the naughty "lib Lutherans" are doing.

A tautology.

The question is.... "whose judgement are you using in understanding Scripture?"

I've told you, God's as revealed in His Word.

Why would I say 'my own'? And they are not just 'naughty'. That gets you coal from Santa, apostasy eternal damnation.

Can you not read in the vernacular? Scripture interprets scripture, takes care of the difficult passages. As a Christian, my understanding of the scripture is informed by the Holy Spirit, as promised in those same pages.

Like Grant, Luther was a drunkard.

How profound! Who taught you that? Luther?

Another tautology.

So God's Word reveals to you how to understand the same Word?

You're just kicking the can.

You know what I going to ask next, don't you?

Why would I say 'my own'?

If your understanding of God's word is not yours it's somebody else's.

Whose?
