<p>Ejs: </p> <hr /> <div>{{Christianity}}<br /> '''Martin Luther''' (November 10, 1483 - February 18,1546) was the leader of the German [[Reformation]]. <br /> He was a Monk and Theologian whose writing sparked the [[Protestant Reformation]] which led to the founding of the [[Lutheran Church]] as an alternative to the [[Roman Catholic Church]].<br /> <br /> In 1505, Martin Luther was a law student caught outside in the middle of a thunderstorm. A bolt of [[lightning]] struck the ground near him. Terrified, he cried out to St. Anne for protection and promised to become a [[monk]] if he survived the storm. He did survive, and then left law school to join an Augustinian monastery.<br /> <br /> At the monastery, Martin Luther felt plagued by the [[devil]] and began to realize how corrupt the [[Catholic church]] had become, being especially disenchanted during a trip to [[Rome]]. He began to form his own opinions about the [[Bible]].<br /> <br /> Martin Luther founded [[Protestantism]] on October 31, 1517, when he nailed [[the 95 Theses]] or issues to the door of his [[Wittenberg Church]] in what is now Germany. The source of Luther's complaint was a project to rebuild [[St. Peter's Basilica]] in Rome, for which church officials were offering [[indulgences]] in exchange for donations. Martin Luther objected and produced a list of 95 complaints to spark public debate.<br /> <br /> Here were two of Luther's most important Theses:<br /> <br /> *Thesis 82<sup>a</sup>: ''Scilicet. Cur Papa non evacuat purgatorium propter sanctissimam charitatem et summam animarum necessitatem ut causam omnium iustissimam, Si infinitas animas redimit propter pecuniam funestissimam ad structuram Basilice ut causam levissimam?''<br /> <br /> *Thesis 82: ''Why does not the pope empty purgatory, for the sake of holy love and of the dire need of the souls that are there, if he redeems an infinite number of souls for the sake of miserable money with which to build a Church? The former reasons would be most just; the latter is most trivial.''<br /> <br /> *Thesis 86<sup>a</sup>: ''Item. Cur Papa, cuius opes hodie sunt opulentissimis Crassis crassiores, non de suis pecuniis magis quam pauperum fidelium struit unam tantummodo Basilicam sancti Petri?''<br /> <br /> *Thesis 86: ''Why does not the pope, whose wealth is to-day greater than the riches of the richest, build just this one church of St. Peter with his own money, rather than with the money of poor believers?''<br /> <br /> [[Pope Leo X]] spent his time on the beauty flourishing during the [[Renaissance]], and was a patron of the great artist [[Raphael]]. Pope Leo X probably never recognized the significance of Martin Luther and his followers. Some historians feel that if the pope had responded more seriously, then the subsequent schism in Germany would not have occurred. <br /> <br /> But German nobles did not like the flow of money to Rome, and they backed Martin Luther in order to cut off the donations by Germans to support Rome. <br /> <br /> In 1520, Pope Leo X announced the papal bull [[Exsurge Domine]], which required Luther to withdraw 41 of his 95 Theses or be [[excommunicated]]. Luther refused and was then excommunicated by the Catholic Church.<br /> <br /> It was then up to [[German]] authorities to take any legal action against Luther. The 21-year-old Holy Roman Emperor [[Charles I|Charles V]] ordered him to stand trial before an assembly (a "[[Diet]]") of estates of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] that met in Worms, a small town in what is now Germany. This famous assembly is therefore known as the "[[Diet of Worms]]." The verdict (the "[[Edict of Worms]]") was "guilty". Luther was declared an outlaw who should be arrested. <br /> <br /> But Luther had already left the trial before the verdict was rendered. He hid at Wartburg Castle at Eisenach, where [[Frederick of Saxony|Frederick the Wise]], Elector of Saxony, protected him. Luther took the pseudonym Junker Jorg (Nobleman George), grew a wide beard and dressed like a knight. While in hiding he translated the [[New Testament]] from Greek into German in 1522. (By 1534, Luther had translated all of the [[Old Testament]] from Hebrew to German also.)<br /> <br /> Luther translated Romans 3:28 by adding an extra German word for "alone" (alleine or alleyn) after the phrase: "justified by faith": "So halten wir nun dafür, daß der Mensch gerecht werde ohne des Gesetzes Werke, alleyn durch den Glauben." Luther believed that man is justified by faith alone, and that salvation comes only from faith. The Catholic Church (and [[Eastern Orthodox Church]]) taught that man is justified by faith, good works and confession to the Church authorities.<br /> <br /> A remarkable invention awaited Luther's German translation of the [[Bible]]: in 1447 the German [[Johannes Gutenberg]] had already invented the movable-type [[Printing Press|printing press]]. This enabled Luther's translation to be printed for the public in September 1522. The Christian world would never be the same again. (The [[Gutenberg Bible]], which put the [[Latin Vulgate]] in book format, had been printed in 1455 and it is the oldest existing book in the West.)<br /> <br /> Charles V tried to stop the spread of [[Lutheranism]]. In 1544, Charles V sent armies against the German princes, but the [[Peace of Augsburg]] in 1555 gave each German ruler the right to choose the religion for his state. The princes in southern Germany selected Roman Catholicism, but the princes in northern Germany chose Lutheranism. After [[World War II]], when Germany split into West and East Germany, the West German part contained the predominantly Roman Catholic regions and the East German part consisted of the mostly Lutheran regions.<br /> <br /> Martin Luther continued to write, and taught at a German university for his financial support. Luther's writings in defense of his religious views were often harsh and passionate. After first reaching out to the Jews, when they did not embrace his Christianity, at one point near the end of his life he even urged the destruction of their homes and the burning of their synagogues and schools. Historians debate the impact Luther's writings may have had on German thought leading into the Nazi Holocaust of World War II. Luther harshly criticized many peoples in addition to Jews; a pamphlet of his in 1545, the year before he died, was entitled "Against the Roman Papacy an Institution of the Devil,".

Ejs https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=The_Lord%27s_Prayer&diff=334807 The Lord's Prayer 2007-11-13T23:53:53Z

<p>Ejs: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Lord's Prayer''', known also as the Our Father or Pater noster[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/09356a.htm], is a form of [[prayer]] specifically established by [[Jesus]] himself. Its most familiar English form, in the King James translation of the [[Bible]], is as follows.<br /> <br /> :Our Father which art in heaven, <br /> <br /> :Hallowed be Thy name.<br /> <br /> :Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.<br /> <br /> :Give us this day our daily bread.<br /> <br /> :And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.<br /> <br /> :And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil:<br /> <br /> :For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever.<br /> <br /> :AMEN<br /> <br /> (Matthew 6:9-13 KJV)<br /> [[Image:Dellarobbia1.jpg|200px|right]]<br /> The Lord's Prayer is by far the best known prayer among Christians worldwide, and has been translated into hundreds of different languages. It is worth remarking, however, that while [[Jesus]] himself specifically instructs His followers to pray in private, this prayer is frequently recited in public, and has been incorporated into the services and liturgy of many Christian denominations:<br /> <br /> :"And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men.

<p>Ejs: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Nicene Creed''' is the ancient [[Christian]] Creed formulated by the [[Council of Constantinople]] in 381, and affirmed by the [[Council of Chalcedon]] in 451. It is so called because it expresses the “Nicene faith”, that is, it is in accord with the creed articulated by the [[Council of Nicene]] in 324. It states the nature of the divine [[Trinity]] of [[God the Father]], [[Jesus]], and the [[Holy Spirit]], and is often regarded as the core doctrine of Christianity.

<p>Ejs: </p> <hr /> <div>The '''Nicene Creed''' is the ancient [[Christian]] Creed formulated by the [[Council of Constantinople]] in 381, and affirmed by the [[Council of Chalcedon]] in 451. It is so called because it expresses the “Nicene faith”, that is, it is in accord with the creed articulated by the [[Council of Nicene]] in 324. It states the nature of the divine [[Trinity]] of [[God the Father]], [[Jesus]], and the [[Holy Spirit]], and is often regarded as the core doctrine of Christianity.

<p>Ejs: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:St. John.jpg|left]]<br /> '''John the Apostle''' (Saint John in [[Catholic]] and [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] traditions), was disciple of [[Jesus]] along with his brother [[James the Apostle|James]]. They were called the sons of Zebedee, which means the sons of thunder. Originally a disciple of [[John the Baptist]] along with [[Andrew the Apostle|Andrew]], they turned to follow Jesus to become "fishers of men". John is called the "disciple whom Jesus loved" and is the author of the fourth gospel, [[Gospel of John|The Gospel of John]]. John was with Jesus throughout his ministry, he stood faithfully at the cross and raced to the tomb when he heard that Jesus had risen.<br /> <br /> St. John's later life was passed chiefly in [[Jerusalem]] and at Ephesus. He founded many churches in Asia Minor. Apart from the Gospel of John, John also wrote the biblical books of [[I John]], [[II John]], [[III John]] and the book of [[Revelation]] while exiled on the island of Patmos. Tradition hold that John was the only one of [[the disciples]] who was not [[martyr|martyred]]. He died of old age in exile.<br /> <br /> «Εἱστήκεισιν δὲ παρὰ τῷ σταυρῷ τοῦ Ἰεσοῦ ἡ μήτηρ αὐτοῦ, Μαρία ἡ τοῦ Κλωπᾶ καὶ Μαρία ἡ Μαγδαληνή. Ἰησοῦς οὖν ἰδὼν τὴν μητέρα καὶ τὸν μαθητὴν παρεστὼτα ὃν ἠγάπα, λέγει τῇ ματρί: γύναι, ἴδε ὁ υἱός σου. εἶτα λέγει τῷ μαθητῇ· Ἰδοὺ ἡ μήτηρ σου. καὶ ἀπ' ἐκείνης τῆς ὥρας ἔλαβεν ὁ μαθητὴς αὐτὴν εἰς τὰ ἴδια.» <br /> <br /> ''While Jesus was hanging on the cross, "there stood by the cross of Jesus, his mother, and his mother's sister, Mary Cleophas, and Mary Magdalen. When Jesus therefore had seen his mother and the disciple standing whom he loved, he saith to his mother: Woman, behold thy son. After that, he saith to the disciple: Behold thy mother. And from that hour, the disciple took her to his own"'' <br /> <br /> (John 19:25-27). <br /> <br /> '''Feastday''': May 8, December 27.<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> <br /> *[[Saint Peter]]<br /> *[[Paul]]<br /> *[[The Twelve Apostles]]<br /> <br /> == External links ==<br /> <br /> *[http://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=228 St. John the Apostle]<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> [[Category:Biblical persons]]<br /> [[Category:12 Disciples]]</div>
