MARTIN LUTHER'S TRAIL...CONTINUED...
Four days latter, on October 20th, Luther escaped from Augsburg mounted on a horse provided by friends, and few days afterwards he re-entered his beloved Wittenberg.
At Augsburg Luther left behind an appeal to rome. "I appeal from the Most Holy father the Pope , ill-informed to the Most Holy Father the Pope Leo X, by the grace of God to be better informed."
Luther learned for the first time that Cajetan had in his possession, when he was before him, a Papal brief empowering the Cardinal, if Luther would not recant, to have have his seized and kept in safe custody.that he might be sent to Rome. Luther's cause has actually been judges in his absence, in a Papal court that of Jerome Bishop of Ascoli, and he had been adjudged guilty. It was no light danger that he escaped by flight from Augsburg. The Story of Protestantism.
On the receipt of the legate's report in Rome, the Pope proceeded to issue, on November 9th, a new decretal on the subject of indulgences, declaring that "All those who have acquired indulgences, whether alive or dead, are released from so much temporal punishment for their actual sin as is the equivalent of acquired indulgences. This doctrine is to be held and preached by all, under the penalty of excommunication, from which only the Pope can absolve save at the point of death. CONTINUED...
Note: Please help this dummy to understand: "If the Popes ARE INFALLIBLE why is there a correction or modification required!Or how can we improve upon perfection? But how does this fit within.....
Romans 6:23 "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
QUESTION: IS THIS NOT SALVATION BY WALLET? Think;;SELAH! In place of salvation by Grace?
Cont: The effect upon Luther was twofold: We find him writing at about this time to his friend Wenceslaus Kink at Nuremberg: " The conviction is daily growing upon me, that the Pope is Antichrist."
Note: Is this not purity by wealth? For the more wealth one has, the greater the indulgences one can purchase, the sins one is absolved from, as per Rome, right? Ain't it wonderful to live under human rules, rather than the Biblical rules, on the surface but look..........
Matthew 15:6 "And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition".
On June 15th, 1520, a Papal Bull [directive letter] condemning as scandalous, heretical, and damnable, forty-one propositions extracted from the writing of Luther. Who then hastened to forge fresh weapons for the fight with Rome. In the strongly worded, " Babylonish Captivity of the Church." he not only attacked once more the supremacy of the Papacy, but boldly laid hands upon the sacramental theory of Rome, declaring that "without faith in God's promise the sacrament is dead; it is a casket without a jewel, a scabbard without a sword." The Story of Protestantism. {babylon= confusion/apostasy]
None, can b e saved by what we do, there's no salvation in works alone! Any worship actions, if it's not alive on one's heart, it is DEAD! The Mass, is ever the same, nothing ever changes, and it's more as a staged production in any theater, rather than a worship service! Besides they are slowly bring Latin back, so that few if any , ever understand it! IF ONE DOES NOT UNDERSTAND, THE WORDS SPOKEN, WHAT'S THE POINT? Please THINK! Salvation can not be attained by Sacrament, only by faith and God's Grace with our obedience to our judge, the Law!
It was three years and 6 weeks after his posting the 95 theses, that Luther ,on December 10th, 1520, that he cast the papal bull into the flames, outside the Eastern gate of the same Saxon town.
As he3 refused to recant, the second bull of excommunication was launched against him on January 3rd, 1524. The hope of the Pope for enforcement of this bull lay in the young Emperor, who was now preparing for his first Diet, [Papal trial?]which, as the plaque raged at Nuremberg, was to be held at Worms. "The Story of Protestantism"
"I am called." was Luther's answer to his friends, "It is ordered and decreed," he continued, " That I appear in that city. I will neither recant nor flee. I will go to Worms in spite of all the gates of hell and the prince of the power of the air" [which is Satan] Ibid.
Martin Luther, put many a saying to paper, here's one: In order for us to understand the Bible, we need only the Holy Spirit of Christ, via prayers, and not the spirit of the Vatican!
"Here I stand, and I can do no other, so help me God" Where and upon what do Y O U stand my friend, Word of God or word of man? This very building is now gone!
You just might also ask, WHY. . .why are nearly all these historic place been obliterated? What is it they do not want Y O U to know? The info you have before you now? On top of one site, we see a stage built upon which Rock and Roll bands, bang out their "Music"?
In exile at the Warburg, martin hears that some monks had lain aside their frocks and responds by writing his document "De Notes Monasticis" in 1522 where he speaks out against the evils of celibacy.Of the unBiblical nature of these institutions of monks and nuns, and many such persons left these institutions, those who tired of the sins they witnessed within those walls!
Luther, oft spoke of the fact that his life was always in danger, would himself not ever marry, but then came an ex-nun , Katharina von Bora, who was quite persistent, and they married having 6 children.But due to the fact, of the supreme pressure Luther lived each day, he had his bouts of depression, and would occasionally seek solace in, what his detractors revel in, a drink..But just as his mentor the Elector, has seen in his dream, Marin Luther's work, was the beginning of whole host of pens, in the hands of men, that translated the Latin plus the Greek and the Hebrew manuscripts , over 1800 of them, to where now there's a Bible in the nearly each tongue and dialects on earth, even some of then that have no written language, until the Bible came to them!
During one of those low points points in his life, his wife, dresses herself totally in black. Day in and day out total black, until one day he could no longer keep quiet, He shouted, "Why all this black clothing all the time"? "I am in mourning: she said. "Well who died?" To which she replied, I am in morning for God who died"!
"God is NOT dead" .
"Well, you act like He is"!
That got his attention and he snapped out of his dark mood!
PART #3 is next.
