Since the Pope declared Martin Luther to be an Antichrist.... so what does that say about the Protestants ?

Answer 1

Actually it was Martin Luther that declared the Papacy the AntiChrist, you have it backwards.

If you will yield on this point, I shall not take away your crown and power; if not, I shall constantly cry out that you are the Antichrist, and I shall testify that your whole cult and religion are only a denial of God, but also the height of blasphemy against God and idolatry. (What Luther Says, II: 1069)

Then his first act as a "Real man of God" (after his excommunication) was to take all his followers and burn every Jewish Synagogue within a days ride to the ground.

I wonder why if he really had such problems with the Church itself why in his 95 thesis over half are pro the Church being the true Church of Christ and why he fought so hard not to be excommunicated. So was it that he really thought that or that he was politically passed over twice to be abbot of his monestary,

Answer 2

Look up the word Heretic in the dictionary & you will see what it says. By definition, a Heretic is someone who rejects the teachings of the Catholic Church.

But you actually have this backwards. It wasn't the Pope who called Luther the antichrist. It was Luther who called the Pope the Antichrist.

Answer 3

The Pope never said any such thing. The phrase "an antichrist" has no meaning in Catholic theology. There will be only one antichrist, and Luther certainly was not it. The Pope (not the current one) did say that Luther was a heretic, because that's precisely what he was. What does that say about Protestants? That they are teaching false beliefs, which should be obvious from the doctrinal chaos that reigns throughout that manmade tradition. Truth cannot conflict with truth. A system of thousands of conflicting denonminations is therefore obviously riddled with untruth.

Answer 4

It says that they are neither the Pope nor Martin Luther.

Answer 5

Martin Luther did it before any other pope. The problem for the popes? He was actually right.

Answer 6

It says that they are technically heretics dear. It is kind of amusing when listening to those that claim to be " saved ".

Fortunately, in every modern civilized countries with an efficient public school system, religious superstitions are quietly fading away so these old feuds can absolutely be ignored...

Answer 7

I'm a protestant, and I think the pope is an antichrist.

Answer 8

Does the Pope believe Jesus Christ went to the cross for our sins, Does the Pope know it is wrong to hate, to judge or to point fingers, or is this organized religion creating its own rules that God did not intend to be there.

Answer 9

And did you know there have been like 7 anti-popes?

Yeah...it's a real term. It's a term used for Popes who "did the wrong thing" or were evil or whatever...


It's a big conspiracy. "You don't believe like me? YOU'RE A HERETIC!"

Answer 10

:)

both are worshiping Jesus, a creation aren't they.

to united them to one (with Jesus), they need someone to tell them how.

They better ask Jews to tell them which one is correct.
