Having seen your previous question I beleive the Martin luther you are asking about is that of the Lutherian Form of Christianity.\n\nIt could be said that by starting his own faction of christianity that went against the grain of Catholic society he divided what was a united religion, thus seperated people on religous basis.\n\nHowever it can equally be argued that he brought people of similar minds together, he was a theologist as well as "protestant" - Protestor of Catholosicm, and brought to the people he conversed with alot of ideaologies and concept which are available from wesite like Wikipedia.\n\nHope this Helps\n\nWill

It probably means that a church is being split into two different groups or sides with no middle ground.  For example, the church members may be extremely liberal or extremely conservative with no members that fall in between.  I'm just guessing, though.

Though I would disagree with the statement as written, what it means is as follows:\n\nDuring a period of church history known as The Protestant Reformation, the Lutheran Church as we know it broke away from The Roman Catholic Church.  A fellow by the name of Martin Luther (not to be confused with the more recent activist Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King, Jr.) had famously nailed 95 theses to the door of the church.  These theses were intellectual challenges of certain church practices and dogma.  While this may sound like a bold move, in truth there was little all that flamboyant about it.  Church doors in that place and time were also used as community bulletin boards and many people nailed notices and documents to them the way we post bills in urban areas today.  The 95 theses were little more than 95 topics of discussion for debate he'd hoped to bring attention to.  Martin Luther never had the notion of beginning a new form of the Christian religion.\n\nPerhaps the most noteworthy of the questions dealt with the then Roman Catholic Church practice of selling indulgences.  This was a transitive notion that depending on where one was either got enforced as an abuse to a large degree or got used as a quick little means of acceptance.  That's to say that people who paid the church money got absolution for sins from clergy right away, something Roman Catholics believe is necessary to enter the kingdom of heaven.  It was a practice that dated back hundreds of years in different forms and that segregated those who could pay from those who could not as if sin was a matter of barter.  Martin Luther wished to debate the practice, perhaps even eliminate it.\n\nWell, having gone so strictly against church policy, the simple questions turned into a grandiose argument that sent ripples through the Christian world without end.  The church was just too powerful to fight.  Martin Luther received the brunt of the fallout.  However, it wasn't until an almost unrelated incident, years later, when a reigning Pope excommunicated the entire nation of Germany from the church, that the people there rose up and basically said, "Hey, we don't need your church, we can follow the teachings of this guy over here, Martin Luther."  All of a sudden Luther's questions and assertions had followers.  They built their own churches, patterned after what they knew from Roman Catholicism.  They acquired their own clergy and a few practices that differed slightly from RC but ultimately fell in line with what Martin Luther had pointed out.  Though not the Protestant religion, Lutherans had much to do with the protestant movement (Protestant Reformation), a second schism away from the church after the Great Schism had divided the RC church into Eastern and Western centuries earlier..\n\nAttending a Lutheran church ceremony differs little from a Roman Catholic ceremony in the same season.  There are usually fewer images of Christ and saints, prefering a simple cross and a greater focus on the WORD.  Roman Catholics recognize seven practices as sacraments while Lutherans recognize only five.  Many of the songs are exactly the same, but sung to different tunes.  The Lutheran hierarchy goes up to bishops or so while the Roman Catholic hierarchy extends all the way to the Pope.  Lutheran churches tend to be a little smaller.  Roman Catholics traditionally go to Confession in a dark and quiet private booth called a Confessional while Lutherans tend to simply confess all their sins in a single, common sentence during part of the ceremony.  Both believe in pretty much the same versions of Christ's story and both have similar formats of services.  There’s an academic question over transubstantiation, but one of little note to a person practicing neither religion.\n\nIn recent years, post Vatican II, the similarities between the two have gotten even closer to the naked eye.  That's to say that the Roman Catholic Church has extended c

What you describe is one passage "faith without works is dead" . . . which basically mean . . . "do it yourself, because I am not going to do anything for you, and if you fail . . . don't blame yourself . . . . blame me and say it is God's Will"

it all started with the protestant reformation brought about by martin luther.  you can read more details by typing in protestant reformation or martin luther into a search engine.  the catholic church took exception and thus the protestants somewhat broke off from the "non-catholic christians".  also, the christians do not acknowledge the apocrypha or "between the testaments" writing that the catholics do as holy scriptures as part of the canon used in worship.

If you want to read the books that Martin Luther took out of his Protestant abomination called a "bible" they are in the true bible, the Douay Rheims version which is the original translated by St. Jerome. These books were taken out by Luther because they proved Catholicism to be true and were a threat to the heresy of Protestantism. Here is a link to one: http://www.miqcenter.com/books/0-bibles.shtml \nor you can find it online at:\nhttp://www.drbo.org/

Historically speaking that would be the Anglican church. When Henry viii wanted to divorce Catherine to marry Anne, he left the church. Their daughter Elizabeth was forced to fully convene the Anglican church so that she could continue having the  backing of religon so as to appease her people and prevent civil war. \n\nMartin Luther did not want to break away from the Catholic church. He only wanted the people who were the leaders to reform from practices such as papal indulgences etc.

The bible states that he uses others in his work so maybe the way it should be read is that he is using one to punish the other.

Want an honest answer?  I don't know.  Nobody knows.\n\nThere are numerous examples throughout the Bible of God separating his spirit from people.  King Saul comes to mind.

I think that you mean post Luther reformers, not post Lutheran.  The Lutheran religion was not really ever "established" until many years after Luther's death.  Philip Melancthon was instrumental in the establishment of the "Lutheran" religion.  Martin Luther himself was rolling over in his grave at the notion of a religion named after himself.\nJust about all of the reformers either worked with Luther or incorporated some of Luther's orginal thoughts into their own separation from the Catholic Church.  Luther himself never wanted seperation, he wanted to "reform" the church... hence Protestant "Reformation."  \nAnyway, Andreas Carlstadt was instrumental in the Ana-baptist movement (Presbyterianism), John Calvin, John Wesley (Methodism), Henry III (Anglicanism/Episcopalean), Ulrich Zwingli (Swiss-Anabaptist), Johann Tetzel (credited for Luther's Inspiration), John Knox (Presbyterianism), and Thomas Muentzer (Peasant's War).\nHere is a pretty thorough article on your topic:\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reformation\nI hope that this helps.\n-Super

Find that which binds people in the group and in people in general.  Present how the gospel has changed your lives and how it resonates through you and your group no matter what your beliefs.  Jesus intended the gospel to be a uniter, it's up to you to find its uniting qualities.  It doesn't matter how mature you are, it's easy to share how something has affected you.\n\nGood luck!

Read an article on this. It was rather interesting, it gave examples from both the New Testament and the Old as well as other Jewish texts.

God in human form.  A dude that travelled around and ate and drank with the "undesirables".  He crashed peoples couches and was an astonishing man.  His disciples consisted of thieves, murderers, prostitutes, etc.  he loved everybody.  he prayed for all the people that brutalized him on his way to the cross.  I love that guy.  he is the most amazing person that ever existed.
