What are the best books produced by members of this glorious church? Someone recommended me the works of Johanne Arndt.
>>25015732>“Do not ask anything of your conscience; and if it speaks, do not listen to it; if it insists, stifle it, amuse yourself; if necessary, commit some good big sin, in order to drive it away. Conscience is the voice of Satan, and it is necessary always to do just the contrary of what Satan wishes.”
>>25015732>“Suppose I should counsel the wife of an impotent man, with his consent, to giver herself to another, say her husband’s brother, but to keep this marriage secret and to ascribe the children to the so-called putative father. The question is: Is such a women in a saved state? I answer, certainly.”
>>25015732>“Christ committed adultery first of all with the women at the well about whom St. John tell’s us. Was not everybody about Him saying: ‘Whatever has He been doing with her?’ Secondly, with Mary Magdalen, and thirdly with the women taken in adultery whom He dismissed so lightly. Thus even, Christ who was so righteous, must have been guilty of fornication before He died.”
>>25015732>“It is more important to guard against good works than against sin.”
>>25015732>“There is no scandal greater, more dangerous, more venomous, than a good outward life, manifested by good works and a pious mode of life. That is the grand portal, the highway that leads to damnation.”
>>25015732>“To kill a peasant is not murder; it is helping to extinguish the conflagration. Let there be no half measures! Crush them! Cut their throats! Transfix them. Leave no stone unturned! To kill a peasant is to destroy a mad dog!” – “If they say that I am very hard and merciless, mercy be damned. Let whoever can stab, strangle, and kill them like mad dogs”
>>25015732>“What harm could it do if a man told a good lusty lie in a worthy cause and for the sake of the Christian Churches?”>“St. Augustine or St. Ambrosius cannot be compared with me.”
>>25015732I suggest you denounce this Heresiarch. He was a chode, and his teachings, less than useless.
>>25015732Boehme, Hamann
>>25015810Eight post best post
>>25015732honestly luthers best work is on the jews and their lies. lutheranism was a political movement to return to Biblical Christianity and luther wasnt wycliffe who didnt lead a political movement but got himself killed and resulted in many more deaths during the english reformation because he just had to be right about transubstantiation
Luther unlike Calvin was not a systematic thinker which is why his sect just became Catholicism but the monarch is Pope and there is no confession or monasteries, only real great Lutherans theologian is Böhme, the 20th Century Lutheran thinkers were just impressive for an age that stopped producing theology. Kierkegaard was hardly a Lutheran and refused communion even on his deathbed, he was kind of a cross between Holy Fool theology of the Orthodox and raw quaker protestantism. Swedenborg the Schizo is a really interesting thinker but also not really Lutheran since he denied the Trinity. Hegel was legally Lutheran and strongly defended Lutheranism but also saw it as a metaphor for people incapable of religion.The best contribution by Lutherans were artistic. Luther's translation of the Bible is amazing, probably the single most influential work in and on the German language, even Nietzsche considered it outstanding. Bach as a composer for Lutheran mass exerted a similar influence on music but not being confined to language it seeped out everywhere. Most English speakers give Shakespeare as the rough literary equivalent to Bach but it's definitely the Luther Bible in spite of the greater discrepancy in age. Ultimately preferring Catholicism, Heidegger was still extremely influenced by Martin Luther too. So was Nietzsche incidentally, people who presume Nietzsche hated Luther because he loathed protestantism even more than Catholicism haven't read him on Luther, he was genuinely fond of him, probably because Luther unlike Calvin was extremely irreverent at times saying things like he liked to sin and then repent because it was like letting the devil sneak up behind and then farting in his face
>>25015881calvin was a judaizer translating the talmud in pseudoChristian vocabulary and probably a jew
>>25015881>for an age that stopped producing theology.After Luther plunged the knife into Christendom, everyone just started up their own churches, but with blackjack and hookers.
>>25015918You are a midwit who has never read Institutes of the Christian religion.>>25015930Luther revived Catholic theology. Catholicism had mostly become complacent but Luther triggered the counter Reformation which revived Catholic thinking. Without the Counter Reformation, Catholicism would have eventually become a soulless shell that no one takes seriously and only exists because of state funds and people only work for because it's a good career
>>25015954>Luther revived Catholic theology.You're such a stupid petty nigger. You deserve Luther. Take the word Catholicism out of your vocabulary. You don't understand the first thing about it.
>>25015954>Catholicism would have eventually become a soulless shell that no one takes seriously and only exists because of state funds and people only work for because it's a good career
>>25015977Good thing you recognize the Novus Ordo is not Catholic. The great apostasy was prophesied by St. Paul. We are now in it. Luther helped bring us there, so if you're enjoying it, be sure to give your thanks to Luther, Satan, and all his apostates.
>>25015975I'm not even a Christian, lil trad nigga. I'm interested in your Crip/Blud bullshit>>25015977Peter the first Pope was a fisherman>>25015993Novus Ordo sucks but it's not like High Mass was some early Christian practice and deviation from it is apostasy
>>25016004Be sure never to proof read, so anons can continue to recognize quickly that your thoughts are incoherent, underdeveloped, and that your opinions belong in the trash.
>>25016004The Novus Ordo encompasses more than the Mass. It is the Whore of Babylon, and that whore is apostate.
>>25016016I will be sure to never proofread posts replying to niggers>>25016045I should probably read Revelation in Greek
>>25015732Start with Wycliff and Hussites
>>25016064Good of you to listen to your betters. Also very virtuous for a heathen to consider sparing his fellow niggers their time, nigger.
>>25016184Heathen is just the Christian version of goy
>>25015732>churchbook club for the devil*
>>25016239Except you choose to be a heathen, faggot.
>>25016247No, we chose to ignore the whore of Babylon.
>>25016004>Peter the first Popepeter was by tradition the bishop of rome. the concept of pope evolved in the high middle ages. now leave and go back to living the gift of love like His Holiness the Holy Father taught according to His special charism to teach about faith and morals
>>25015782>>25015786>>25015790>>25015793Retarded TradCath ruins thread with spam of quotes taken out of context. Thanks.
>>25016810Pope just means the bishop of Rome and the honorary title long predates any idea of the see being infallible.
>>25016247You choose to be a goy, you could embrace Judaism and accept that Jews are THE chosen people and the God of Israel is supreme
>>25015732Roland Bainton
>>25015732I remember seeing a book on Erasmus contra Luther a few days back. Don't know much about either can anyone redpill a nigga on what that was all about?
>>25017646Erasmus was a key humanist thinker which almost single-handedly revived the study of ancient Greek. Prior to him people studied Latin but not Greek. He was also a proponent of trying to use diplomacy to make the Reformers return to the Catholic Church, and to being the Orthodox into the Catholic Church
>>25017654so he's what we'd call, a real ass nigga. he sounds like he's the only cool guy in the dutch canon.
>>25017671Rabelais loved him, he was the one who got Rabelais excited to learn Greek and the latter had to search high and low for a teacher. Then when he started learning his bishop ordered him to start because a priest had no business wasting his time on Greek. This didn't deter Rabelais though and he successfully got transferred under a different bishop who gave him permission to learn Greek
>>25017676Ordered him to stop*
>>25015732Whats with this neo-Lutheran revival lately?>t. a cradle Lutheran
>>25017646You mean this one?
