Hello awesome classmates and Dr. C, here is my main discussion post for Week 9...

 

Comparing Erasmus and Luther on Reform

Martin Luther loved the truth of God’s word from his own struggles and salvation which reassured him but, he wanted to change the Christians way of believing the way they study the bible and how they see every point. He wanted them to accept salvation through Christ as a savior and actions of faith through love. I agree with him because without the love and salvation you wouldn’t have one another.

Erasmus wanted to do the same thing but in a different concept he cared about right knowledge of the truth and wanted moral reform as to operate under free will instead of predestination in the Roman catholic church. I agree with Erasmus you should have the right to operate under free will but those that don’t follow the rules should be accounted for their wrong doings people are going to what they want when they want to.

Role of the printing press

The role of the printing press is nearly a century ago it made publishing news and books to other places a lot quicker and it was also cheaper than one person having to write a book at a time.

Role of The German Princes

Two roles that the German princes was that they wanted to reform the way they viewed everything within the economy and politically stance they wanted to eliminate the pay the church and hope to stop the violence.
