Excellent......
Had bought this DVD last year and had intended to watch it then, but didn't. Today while working on some things I opted to watch it and what an excellent movie and one I think every Christian should watch.First off its historically accurate and I appreciate being reminded of how one church in Christendom, was based on money for favours, man made unbiblical 'laws' that for centuries, wreaked havoc on people.The cardinal noting in the movie that the Bible couldn't be understood by lay people, nor most Priests, because it could only be understood by the Pope himself, shows how misguided and alas corrupt these church leaders were. To suggest Luther was a heretic simply because he challenged his flawed human leaders and the lies they told and taught says alot. Wonder how many Catholics or former ones, or lapsed one like myself, know that until Vatican 2 most Catholics were discouraged from reading the Bible for the same reason as what the Cardinal said.Was good to be reminded as we need to be, that some churches concoct laws that have no biblical basis whatsoever. And that we as believers need only read the Bible ourselves, have a strong prayer life and trust God to show us the way he would have us go. Wish more people knew of the Lutheran and the Presbyterian church and what wonderful churches they are.
