celebrated case of total power failure in Alanya, about 100 church visitors in large Sall Conservatory their worship on Reformation. Without organ accompaniment, the great Lutheran hymns were sung. The speech on Reformation can be read here.
Dear community, especially dear Catholic Christians,
you the most as well as he sang: "Lord keep us in your word ..." Do you know the original text? He said: "Conservation our Lord in your word and guide Pope Turks and murder ... "Maybe you can talk about a different time, about the Pope and Luther, of Luther and the Turks. Today is Reformation Day and since I do not want to put so much litigation in the foreground, but what made him a reformer and maybe even move us.
you have just read an important text for Martin Luther Bible: Romans 1:16 and 17 I am ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God unto salvation to all believers, to the Jew first and then the Greeks. For God's justice was revealed in him by faith to faith, just as it is written from the belief Righteous shall live.
Listen to this, you will remain aware of any case that the word "faith" is dominated by two very sentences. The word "faith" is for Martin Luther throughout his life remained a key word. It was Luther so important that Karl Barth, the great theologian from Basel, hung in his apartment before the output of the works of Martin Luther a curtain, all of which dealt with Martin Luther as a warning. Karl Barth saw in Luther namely the risk that the medical facts are transformed into subjective claims could, that no one could come up against them.
you know the problem, dear brethren, my faith is my business. My faith is nobody's business, my faith, I build myself. Karl Barth was concerned that "my faith," "faith" destroys. The Martin Luther
has not clearly understood, although it is certain that the faith of Luther, the alpha and omega of all that is what is meant by Christianity.
"Do you have so you do not believe, you have not," "God and faith will abound" ... These are crucial sentences by Martin Luther's theology is evident in a flash is. The belief is
, our faith, my faith ... of our short biblical text, there are two translations. Luther read his tradition: The righteous shall live by faith. But then it shot through him like a blow when he managed to different translation: The righteous shall live by faith. The
Luther's great discovery, which did not let go again. The human being like God in the guise of faith. Faith makes beautiful Unattractive respectable before God and the ugly. The man is justified by faith before God. The doctrine of justification is the short description of what being human.
do not fret, dear brethren, if you do not grab the same. Or if you hear a clear "no".
quite different as we can not cope with it. For example, the famous humanist Erasmus of Rotterdam. First
saw it for many of the contemporaries of Luther and Erasmus as if reluctant to two together. Erasmus was a linguistic genius. He only spoke Latin, his 2000 letter and his 150 books written in Greek or Latin. For Martin Luther and his theological employees particularly interesting was Erasmus of Rotterdam 1516, the first critical edition of the New Testament, Luther probably used in his translation of the Bible in the Wartburg.
Erasmus, a sophisticate, a critic had his settlement with the church. But he wanted to reform the Church from within, not fight to the death, as it was ready to fight Luther.
The two very different characters, Luther and Erasmus are never met in person. From 1519, two years after the theses, they were in a correspondence. It soon became apparent that they could not pull together. Pointedly has this in their understanding of "free will" of man.
1524 appeared the writing of Erasmus' De libero arbitrio "," From the free will. " And Martin Luther responded by writing the reply, "De servo arbitrio", "The Bondage of (or enslaved) will."
1525 Martin Luther was an important year. In the year Luther married Katharina von Bora, the nun sprung. Not out of love but because Catherine had to be cared for and because Luther with this step, another secular sacrament, the sacrament of marriage. Do not be left unmentioned that 1525 the Peasants' Revolt was crushed by the bloody prince and that Martin Luther unbearably hot party had taken against the farmers.
Back to the two great spirits. If man has a free or not free will? Of course, man can decide whether he eats or hungry, whether he sleeps or wakes up if he takes an umbrella when it rains or not, whether he brushes his teeth ... The two Great, it was a question whether man do something can for his salvation. God has all the work to be done, when it comes to the acquisition of eternal Life is or can be involved because of the man. Of course, Erasmus has not dreamed of that man can obtain eternal life alone. God plays an important role, but what man can contribute?
For Erasmus was clear that man has such a free will, how should it be otherwise responsible for his life? Martin Luther, however, paints a picture with which he illustrates the oppressed of the human will in the view of salvation. The man is a beast, and either he is in hell by Satan or Jesus Christ riding into the sky. Especially in view of the eternal life, Martin Luther, the human must be saved from self-designated. For what can the sinful man to create out of mischief?
Luther's Book of the "unfree will" is the hardest thing has appeared in theological writings, Luther's friend, as Philipp Melanchthon, were very unhappy about the font. I mean, you can only put up with this script or something to understand if one realizes that for Luther the source and scale of faith but the Bible was and that faith creates what has no being.
Dear community, Martin Luther's discovery of faith with the result that faith and knowledge, faith and morality separated. We are indeed assumed all times, the belief would be an inferior knowledge or in the better case, a precursor to knowledge. But this is wrong. The Christ of faith is a force that tears away from the people themselves to God, which snatches the mortal death into life and tears.
If believers, then there are new creatures of God, if faith is lacking, then God has not (yet) been made to believe.
Karl Barth saw how Luther might be misunderstood, has the question of how much the man has to do with his health answered, so much as the Hanged with his rope.
Dear community, reformation is not so much that transformed the church, reformation is more likely that God gets written back what is his work, the new creation, since life begins here already. Amen
