Martin Luther King Jr.\n\nI would ask him from where, besides god, he drew his strong moral convictions, and his opinion on the present state of our country.\n\n\nPS: I am not being overly "PC." The guy who asked that questions REPEATEDLY asks racist questions and talks condescendingly of other races. My answer wasn't based on that ONE question. Don't be so quick to judge.

Luther left behind a movement that quickly spread throughout the Western world. His doctrines, especially justification by faith and the final authority of the Bible, were adopted by other reformers and are shared by many Protestant denominations today. As the founder of the 16th - century Reformation, he is one of the major figures of Christianity and of Western civilization.

Hi engot - excellent question. According to Scripture, there are more than a few clues:\nHe will be from Europe; he will be attractive, a linguist, and will set himself to be worshipped.\n\nwww.triumphpro.com says this:\n\n'The coming [of the lawless one, the Antichrist] is through the activity and working of Satan, and will be attended by great power and with all sorts of [pretended] miracles and signs and deceiving marvels ‑‑ [all of them] lying wonders ‑‑ And by unlimited seduction to evil and with all wicked deception for those who are (going to perdition,) perishing because they did not welcome the Truth but refused to love it that they might be saved.\n\nThe Book of Daniel says this:\n\nDaniel speaks of this coming world ruler, saying, "And at the latter end ... a king of fierce countenance and understanding dark trickery and craftiness, shall stand up.  And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall corrupt, and shall destroy astonishingly, and shall prosper, and do his own pleasure, and he shall corrupt and destroy the mighty men and the holy people ‑‑ the people of the saints" (Dan.8:23‑24).\n\n This will be a ruler of "impious presumption and pride" (Dan.8:9).\n\n Daniel also writes, "[There] shall arise a contemptuous and contemptible person, to whom royal majesty and the honor of the kingdom have not been given.  But he shall come in without warning in time of security and shall obtain the kingdom by flatteries, intrigues, and cunning hypocritical conduct" (Dan.1 1:21, Amplified Version).\n\nThe book of Revelation gives us further insight into this intriguing character, who is the fount of all evils.  Notice:\n\n"As I stood on the sandy beach, I saw a beast coming up out of the sea with ten horns and seven heads.  On his horns he had ten royal crowns (diadems) and blasphemous titles (names) on his heads.\n\n "And the beast that I saw resembled a leopard I Germany], his feet were like those of a bear [Russia], and his mouth was like that of a lion [United States \nand Great Britain].  And to him the DRAGON gave his own might and power, and his [own] throne and great dominion" (Rev. 13:1‑2).\n\nWe have just read that the "dragon" ‑‑ a figure representing Satan the devil (Rev. 12:9; 20:2) himself ‑‑ gives this end‑time world empire, and especially its bestial leader ‑‑ power and authority over nations.  Although this is clearly a direct reference to Satan the devil, that old "dragon" who will be forced out of heaven and cast down to earth in the very near future (Rev.12:7‑9), Biblical prophecy is often dual ‑‑ and some hidden meanings are very subtle.  There are often secondary meanings and hidden layers of interpretation.\n\nThe emblem or animal which is the sign and characteristic of China is none other than the famous "DRAGON"!  Dragon dances and parades are held in every major city of China every Chinese New Year's Day.  China is famous as the land of the "dragon." \n Indeed, it was the "(Chinese) dragon (who) gave him his power, and seat, and great authority" (Rev. 13:2, KJV).\n\n "The Mortal Wound"\n\n"And one of his heads seemed to have a deadly wound But his death stroke was healed, and the whole earth went after the beast in amazement and admiration.  They fell down and did homage to the dragon [Satan the devil], \nbecause he had bestowed on the beast all his dominion and authority; they also praised and worshipped the beast, exclaiming, Who is a match for the beast, and who can make war against him?" (Rev. 1 3:3‑4, Amplified Bible).\n\nWho is a match for the best, and who can make war against him? Jesus Christ. This will signal His second coming. Read what www.leftbehind.com says:\n\nThe second coming of Jesus Christ is the most frequently mentioned subject in the Bible, other than the doctrine of salvation; what the Bible is a

As far as I know, it was invented by Martin Luther during the 1500's.  When he posted his Thesis against the Catholic Church, he used it to get the Word of God into the hands of the common people.

The main two categories are Catholic and Protestant.  And the main difference between them is the way they interpret the Bible.  If you're serious about researching this, you'll want to speak with a Priest (Catholic) and a Pastor or Reverend (Protestant) about what each believes.  \n\nThe problem you might run into, however, is that there are so very many ways to be a Protestant.  Episcopalian, Lutheran, Baptist, Mormon, and the list goes on and on.  And there are even variations among those, like WELS Lutheran, ALC Lutheran, etc.  The main differences still being interpretation of the Bible.

Most probably HRH The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, is a communicant member of the Church of England. Probably he was such even before their marriage.\n\nYou can read the text of the "Act of Settlement" of 1700/1701 and find the actual wording. http://www.worldfreeinternet.net/parliament/settlement.htm\n\nI haven't yet read the whole but I think the "Act of Settlement" specifically excludes "Roman Catholic" but not Eastern Orthodox. The "Act of Settlement" secures the Protestant Succession ... so this might settle the question of whether the Church of England is "Protestant" or something else between "Protestant" and "Roman Catholic" and the Monarch must be Protestant.\n\nAlso, probably the Act of Settlement prevents any descendants of ancient Royalty from making a claim. -- Under the Act of Settlement of 1700, only Protestant descendants of Princess Sophia, the Electress of Hanover (a granddaughter of James I of England and VI of Scotland), are eligible to succeed.

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.

Protestants are any Christians who aren't catholics. It is derived from the Reformation and Martin Luther. The Reformation was Catholics protesting the church's power, thus forming their own branches of Christianity. The Catholic church referred to these people as Protestants with the root word "protest" in there.\n\nAll of this correlates with the invention of Gutenberg's printing press. It made the Bible available to the masses and not just to priests. The masses learned to read and began taking their own interpretations and ideas from the Bible that differed from that of the Catholic church. It was then the Reformation was born and that is how non-catholic Christians became Protestants.\n\nYou can read more about the reformation here...  http://www.educ.msu.edu/homepages/laurence/reformation/index.htm

it is very hard to say. he changed quite a bit over his lifetime. he was of his circumstances. he wasn't born into a middle class preacher family like MLK. given his circumstances he made the right choices. it's hard to find fault with any of that. maybe one could say he was at first too rigid, militant and uncompromising, for  a while he considered people like MLK to be uncle toms. he changed later after his pilgrimage but that same quality is what lead him away from NOI once he found they were corrupt. he made some errors that seemed correct at the time but he changed with better information.... you can't call this a shortcoming. this includes the kind of blind faith he may have had in Elijah Muhammed.\n\nthough i only know of him through the autobiography etc. so i don't know to what extent that account is idealized. maybe he was too saintly for his own good?
