My post is clear. I didn't blame Luther for anything, except his own faults. I questioned his motivation. It is well recorded that he did the things I said. And yes, he tried to ditch the 10 Commandments and change the bible, which the bible says not to do. Even his contemporary 'reformers' thought he was going too far. Those 10 Commandments were for the Hebrews and not for us, but that doesn't mean that part of the bible should be erased simply because Luther said people couldn't follow them. Your statement about the church 'allowing' people to read things or not is ignorant. And I know exactly what I believe just fine.
Think if you read the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus said the 10 commandments were impossible for people, hence why Jesus died, grace.
The Jewish people couldn’t live up to the Old Testament laws, is your argument Jews did live up to the OT laws and now Christians should
i have no idea the logic of your argument, what you are talking about.
Luther did not want to erase the OT as you insinuate, Luther had issues with the book of James.
As a Protestant, yes, the Protestant church has made many mistakes, failed many times and are a disgrace to Christ
I can see that and freely admit that
Though I do believe the basic teachings and “agree” with the Nicene Creed, that is accepted doctrine. My faith is not in people, a Creed or a church, it’s in Christ
