It was a horrible heresy that has lead to the damnation of millions."<br /><br />That's an interesting historical revision, but Luther was no more of a politician than you are a historian. You forget, Pope Leo X was the one sending people to hell by selling indulgences; worthless pieces of paper that God will not honor on the day of judgment. People who put their trust in the Pope's fundraising indulgences will be the ones damned, not those who put their faith in Jesus' sacrificial death and resurrection. Haven't you ever read the works of the Apostle Paul? Don't you understand how salvation works? It's through Christ, not Catholicism! Instead, are you going to blindly put faith in Catholicism, and its leader at the time Leo X? A horrible pope so lecherous he had naked boys jump out of cakes? Surely that's not your idea of God's salvation to the world?<br /><br />The Protestant Reformation requested a public debate/discourse in order to reform the church back to the teachings of Jesus and the Apostles, as recorded in scripture. But the Pope would have none of it, and pretended he had the authority to condemn Luther with excommunication.<br /><br />Sure, go ahead and rewrite history and pretend that you know better what happened than Foxe who recorded the events of his lifetime. Go ahead and say people weren't burned. And you know this because...??? Are we supposed to just genuflect and believe what you say because you say it, without any evidence whatsoever?<br /><br />Faith Struggling to Survivehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13898409431973539071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847967.post-6732681810279130282022-04-09T18:49:08.305-04:002022-04-09T18:49:08.305-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.maevesabbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01723196215059697331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847967.post-86555520252538318762022-03-03T07:44:55.837-05:002022-03-03T07:44:55.837-05:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.hakamvalderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10750428232269451362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847967.post-43033706888270355502022-02-14T12:09:05.864-05:002022-02-14T12:09:05.864-05:00Awesome, great insight!Awesome, great insight!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08882370370751990199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847967.post-57918248475331634232022-01-29T23:28:49.574-05:002022-01-29T23:28:49.574-05:00Cool man, thanks for sharing.Cool man, thanks for sharing.hbaronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04436942886811203524noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31847967.post-91582737390450967072019-11-16T14:07:23.132-05:002019-11-16T14:07:23.132-05:00Fox's Book of Martyr's was first published...Fox's Book of Martyr's was first published in 1563--during the time many of the burnings happened.

As I read, I recalled the fact that when Paul wrote to Timothy in 2 Timothy 1, he acknowledged his sincere faith, and that it is a faith his grandmother and mother possessed prior to him! Consequently, he was familiar with the scriptures from childhood (2 Tim.3:15). <br /><br />This reminded me of and filled me with gratitude for my great grandmother. She gave me my first Bible as a child. She repeatedly shared Bible stories and the Gospel with me. <br /><br />Thank you for sharing!
