D. 200) is said to have identified tradition and Scripture as one and the same.

Is it true what has been written in the Bible? Was he really able to cure people just by a simple touch? Was he the true Son of God? All those questions would remain open without a confirmed and certain answer. If he was a real person that lived and walked on the very same earth we do it is amazing how influential could a single persons...

The Righteousness Of God In Paul Theology
2,356 wordsThe Righteousness of God in Paul's Theology The question is, of course, how does the Christian obtain this righteousness? Indeed, what exactly is "righteousness?" When Luther defines the "righteousness of God" as that by which He makes us righteous, his words have a strongly "Catholic" ring. And a good Protestant will feel a little anxious when Luther speaks of a "preparation" for righteousness, sometimes in connection with his idea of "humility" (which he seems to regard as, at any rate in part...
