Anglicans Pin 95 Theses-Style Complaint on LGBT Issues to Doors of 5 UK Cathedrals
2017-11-06
[PJMEDIA] "The Church of England claims it has not changed its doctrine but its practice on the ground has already changed: clergy are adopting lifestyles which are not biblical and teaching that such lifestyles are holy in the sight of God," the document explains. "This revisionism is causing a crisis not only in Southwark Diocese but across the whole of the Church of England."

The document issues a very hefty charge. "When the church redefines sin and eliminates repentance, it can no longer offer the good news of eternal salvation from sin in Jesus; the church no longer remains distinctly Christian; it is no longer salt and light in the world," the declaration reads.

This document ends with a clear Reformation-style challenge. "Where leaders refuse to repent and submit themselves to the Word of God, the Lord raises up new leadership for His church and new structures: just as He did through Martin Luther 500 years ago."

#7  Ship, consider yourself indulged! :)

It seems there's no evidence to the door nailing thing. IF there is, I haven't found/seen it so far. Then again I spend a total of some fifteen minutes doing this search so...

#5  Fred, it so far seems like a myth:

From: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther#Start_of_the_Reformation

According to one account, Luther nailed his Ninety-five Theses to the door of All Saints' Church in Wittenberg on 31 October 1517. Scholars Walter Krämer, Götz Trenkler, Gerhard Ritter, and Gerhard Prause contend that the story of the posting on the door, even though it has settled as one of the pillars of history, has little foundation in truth.[36][37][38] The story is based on comments made by Philipp Melanchthon, though it is thought that he was not in Wittenberg at the time.

Also see:
Ninety-five_Theses as it goes into a bit more detail.

So all the paintings showing Luther "nailing" some papers to the door is apparently based on fantasy or 'flight of imagination', not on any reality.

#1  Martin Luther did not nail anything to asy door you idiots. He sent two letters to the Head Bishops of the horrible Catholic Church in his time.

The Lord holds nothing against you but your own ignorance on how you do treat others and how you handle the card you were dealt.

Proven Personally in Faith, absolved you of your problematic issue.

Just keep the bedroom in the bedroom and no one should say a word about it.
