watched The Ringer today....i can't believe i would actually suggest it to all of you. it was pretty darn good! not heartless and cruel like i thought it would be.

nayways, main point of this entry..

Yeah, so i think Martin Luther is my new hero. i've been furiously studying for my History Final, and i came across Martin Luther again, the founder of Protestantism! he was sooooooo cool! he totally stayed true to what he knew was right, and was obedient to God, even though it meant being excommunicated from the church he had devoted most of his life to, plus other persecution. through studying the Bible, he realized that the current Catholic Church of the time had it all wrong, what with indulgences and such...see, many priests and other were trying to convice people that they could attain salvation by buying indulgences, which was of course completely wrong. Luther challenged this, and taught the idea of "justification by grace, through faith", which is what i believe....how cool...it's so neat to see how Satan has tried throughout history to squelch advances in the faith, and how God always intervenes. neato bandito. nayways, just some thoughts...it's not good deeds or ceremony that gets you into heaven, it's God grace alone, and your decision of whether or not to accept it. how cool is that? --much love to you all...by the way, i made a 69 on my Algebra II final...i'm smart. ha. ---Cari
