The Reformer’s Rubbish2008-10-30
This one is just as weird as all the others I’ve posted lately, but in a different vein. Poor Martin Luther gets no privacy, even 500 years after he’s come and gone. Archaeologists have been digging around through Luther’s trash, his privy, and his basement. It will come as no surprise that they found several beer mugs, and a child’s crossbow and marbles. At least, Luther had an indoor pit toilet (in the cellar) with a lid. I hope they stopped there. idolatry and false religion (with thanks to the Romans Discussion Group at ccel.org)2008-01-06
I’ve recently joined a discussion group on Paul’s Letter To The Romans at ccel.org, and right now the particular passage being tackled is Romans 1.18-32. Here’s a interesting quote on idolatry from Peter Kreeft:
Martin Luther had two interesting things to say on the subject of idolatry and false religion. The first one is that, according to Luther, if you never broke the first two commandments, you could never break the other eight. Luther also said that false religion was the default mode of the human heart. |
