BTW....the founder of my religion is Jesus of Nazareth. A Jewish carpenter.

That reminds me of those who claim to love Israel while hating Jews and Judaism. Are you one of those ?

If what you wrote were true, you would not have defended Luther twice; it seems to me your theology is fundamentally based on Luther being saved, so that no matter how wicked he was you must try to excuse him since his doctrine of justification by faith alone is a fundamental tenet of your religion.

I will say it again real slow so you can keep up....I have not defended Luther nor do I follow Luther. Luther is not the head of my church unlike the pope is to catholicism. Unlike the catholic having to follow the pope, I am under no obligation or compunction to have to follow Luther. Can you understand that? It's pretty simple.

The doctrine of faith alone was written by a Jewish follower of Christ.

Perhaps you've heard of him? His name was Paul.

28For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from works of the Law. 29Or is God the God of Jews only? Is He not the God of Gentiles also? Yes, of Gentiles also, 30since indeed God who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through faith is one.

Again, and I really hope you can understand this....I am a follower of the Jewish carpenter from Nazareth, Jesus Christ.

You cannot be anti-semittic and be a follower of Jesus.

The question still begs to be answered by you....are you a follower of Jesus?

Are you relying upon Him and Him alone for your salvation?

Jesus makes it clear that faith is through Him and only Him in John 14:6...."I am the way, the truth and the life...."

If what you wrote were true, you would not have defended Luther twice; it seems to me your theology is fundamentally based on Luther being saved, so that no matter how wicked he was you must try to excuse him since his doctrine of justification by faith alone is a fundamental tenet of your religion.

But when it's a pope, hey, they're just human, all sinners just like the rest of us.

Catholics demand perfection out of Luther and excuse the basest and grossest sin and immorality in their own leadership.

And for the record, our theology is not based on Luther being saved. It has nothing to do with it.
