95th Thesis

http://www.specialtyinterests.net/95thesis.html

I wanted to share with you all Martin Luther’s 95th Thesis and I would ask you all to read it in it’s entirety.  It’s a fabulous document that changed the Church Forever…and for the good and better of the Church I might add. 

I will continue to preach Unity in the Body of Christ on not division.  I believe Martin Luther saw a grievance in the Church and spoke out against it as we are called to do in the body of Christ.  As my brother from CARM(link to the right side) wrote in a response to a question about wether we can make judgements or not, he said, “Can we make judgments?  Yes we can.  I judge lying to be wrong.  I judge murder to be wrong along with stealing, adultery, and abortion.  It does not mean that we cannot make spiritual judgments.
1 Cor. 2:14-15 says, “But a natural man does not accept the things of the Spirit of God; for they are foolishness to him, and he cannot understand them, because they are spiritually appraised. 15 But he who is spiritual appraises all things, yet he himself is appraised by no man.”  The word “appraised” is anakrino.  It means to examine, judge, ask questions, search, and discern.  So, we are able to make spiritual judgments.

When you make yours, do so without hypocrisy and in a manner consistent with Scripture.

Indulgences were wrong in Martin Luther’s time and still are today.  The Cross and Jesus’ sacrifice tore the curtain down from top to bottom from the Holy of Holies.  This enabled us to come to Christ directly and ask for forgiveness for our sins.  For us to come to Christ with all of our problems and issues and not for some human being to say your forgiven, “For who is man that I should be mindful of Him declares the Lord?”

Be Blessed!
