Author	Thread: A Guilty Sort of Innocence
Admin	A Guilty Sort of Innocence Posted : 22 Nov, 2010 08:30 AM On October 6, 1536, William Tyndale, the English Reformer and Bible translator was strangled and burned. Three months prior, Tyndale had been tried and condemned as a heretic by the Roman Catholic Church. Below are the crimes of which he was convicted. First: He maintains that faith alone justifies. Second: He maintains that to believe in the forgiveness of sins and to embrace the mercy offered in the Gospel, is enough for salvation. Third: He avers that human traditions cannot bind the conscience, except where their neglect might occasion scandal. Fourth: He denies the freedom of the will. Fifth: He denies that there is any purgatory. Sixth: He affirms that neither the Virgin nor the Saints pray for us in their own person. Seventh: He asserts that neither the Virgin nor the Saints should be invoked by us. Many Evangelicals today would be found innocent on at least three of these seven charges. That is a guilty sort of innocence. Post Reply

Germany apologized to Israel publicly for the atrocities committed against the Jews. Has the Roman Catholic church ever made such a public apology? What does that say about a repentant heart??? What does that say about who they are TODAY? Post Reply
