HIGHWAY 15 – THE PROTESTANT REFORMATION & THE CREATION OF THE WORK ETHIC
Martin Luther & his 95 Theses:
When you look up the gossip and the media accepted line on what this was you will read and hear in your head the following: the Protestant Reformation was the European reform movement that established Protestantism as a constituent branch of contemporary Christianity. It began in 1517 when Martin Luther published his 95 Theses and ended in 1648 with the Treaty of Westphalia that ended years of European religious wars.
What a pile of unusable garbage, which should go straight in the trash bin. It is a lie and goes to the heart of who and what we are as one race, human, all the same. Hear this now and forever, Europe has always been at religious war since the creation of Christ, the one and the only so they claimed Sky God. It is all about the desire of some to control the thoughts and lives of others.
Euro man has gone around the world and attacked and destroyed other societies to get the new order caused by the European chaos to believe and worship their Pharisee order and the Sadducees, now the bankers, corporate thieves and the merchants of death, the weapon men. The European wears the invisible armor of Catholic-Anglican Church or the Congregations of some reinterpreted dogma dodo called Protestant Branch. These are all the same game just different elite running the game board called how to get to the hereinafter. People wake up, this is the hereinafter!
Yes, the Vatican and its Catholic Church was put on the defense with the publication of the 95 Theses. But no, the war did not end as stated above. We are still fighting the war, here, there and everywhere. I will try to go through the macro picture as I feel it, and as the winds of change to the ruling order over the last five hundred years created the opportunity for man to be even more enslaved in a concept long past its time to die, as there has been no growth.
Sky God and Sky God’s self appointed chosen elite made life and death decisions on how one should live. This Catholic God is responsible for everything wrong. This religion created the hatred of an illusory group called the Jews as if they were a race of Jews, another lie. It made the third Sky God religion so fearful of the European and American mindset that hate became the operative thought, not love of the entire Islamic culture.
When growth ends in all Earth-made creations death is near, the twilight comes into picture and as everything has a season, it is time to hurry the process of death along and bury this Church of lies, murder and control. That is what a revolution is all about. It is the process of getting the wheels of life moving forward again. There is one coming soon. It can be in and with peace, which is how I propose or it can be with war and death, which is what the Banksters propose by their actions not their words. Our game of Pisces life is over and this is the section where we the people started the highway of change.
One last thought of today before I return to our yesterdays. Women need to strike as a whole and refuse to attend or accept any more religious ceremonies of any kind until the religion accepts that there are two equal parts to the whole of Man. Until that time, these religions are teaching and preaching lies of the highest dis-order and Man will never have any peace with this one sided off-balanced Christian Sky God thought process.
Protestant Reformation’s Birthing Father: Martin Luther
In 1517 the printing press of mans written thoughts allowed for the propagation of information, knowledge and debate. The controlling Bishops of the Church and their two orders of control, the Dominicans and the Franciscans, did not like this. People could now discover on their own, as opposed to sitting and listening to people argue over how the word of the Dogma was intended to be understood. You see, words create a picture of thought and there is no ownership of your thought. It is part of your right, to have free thought when you agreed to incarnate to bring your consciousness to Earth.
The Church and all organized religions try to prevent free thought by creating boundaries on what is permissible to think and feel. All organized religions including the Jewish and Islamic religions are part of this totalitarian process of confused mind control. The Creator who creates in love has become in the minds of the existing and ruling order the God who wished we humans were nothing but happy dogs. We are not allowed to think and feel. This also includes the Hindus and their acceptance of the caste system because of Karma. Who judges Karma? You do. There is no Sky God.
So Mr. Luther read the Bible on his own. He was able to determine what his own thoughts were as opposed to just being told what the Bible meant at a group listening in the Sunday circus of the Vatican’s representative claiming this is what Christ the Catholic creation demands of you as he told us. On Halloween day October 31st in 1517, in Wittenberg Saxony, now called Germany, Luther nailed his 95 Theses on the Power and Efficacy of Indulgences to the door of the All Saints, which is in reality a local university notice board. Luther was not the first to question the Church of Rome in writing. He was continuing John Wycliffe (Oxford) and Jan Hus (Prague) earlier written thoughts just in his home turf. They had the courage to challenge the Church.
Martin Luther was upset that the Church had created and perpetuated false doctrines to allow those with cash to have different rules than the rest of the flock. The law of Christ as run by the Vatican was not the same for everyone. This was in Martin’s controlling mind an ecclesiastic malpractice and must end and not just be corrected. The big blow as he saw it was the teaching and selling of indulgences by the Church, where wrong behavior could be forgiven with money and then prayer as well as the selling and buying of clerical offices called simony. Again, Sadducees now called Bishops kept the flock down as they the rulers own & control your minds.
Luther had taken the Highway to Rome in 1510 where he saw the corruption of the Church first hand. The Spanish born Roman Pope of that era who authorized the ethnic cleansing and mass murder of the good King and Queen of Spain, Isabelle and Fernando was nothing but bad. This clown prince of Christ the Sky God, Alexander VI actually fathered seven children by reputation and two that we know of in fact by two different women. This Pope and his predecessor were actually selling indulgences (forgiveness for sins so committed), to be applied to the dead, which created an endless source of revenue for this Pharisee order to the general population but for Sadducees in this private Bishops club.
Reformers who followed Luther with new anger had many problems with Rome which included the doctrinal policies about purgatory, mandatory clerical celibacy, the saints and the flocks devotion and prayers to these idols, the devotion to Mary, the only good woman so created, the mother of Jesus who herself was created without sin. But what is interesting is none of the reformers ever brought back Dad or Mom, just Sky-Dad from above and Virgin-Mom from down here below to be the creators of perfect Man who died for all our coming sins. Crazy what we believe when fear or control sets in our mind games. New thought, ever wonder why your Sky God religion has never celebrated a mother or father’s day? Stop wondering, they do not recognize the livings role in creating the future of Man.
The reformers with their new controlling thought process of Heaven beyond in their next dimension could not agree on which corrected harm would make the difference to heal the Christian religion, so these reformers and their heirs started fighting between themselves. This was great chaos and great opportunity to fix the wrongs of restrictive ownership & control of the whole by the few with their thought control, the threat that you will go to hell if you do not conform. These combatants created rival Protestant Churches that we today call Denominations. They should be called what they really are, lunatic asylums.
The first acknowledged reformers, Luther and Calvin, meaning their denominations survived the test of time, agreed on the Augustine of Hippo approach to their beliefs, but could not agree on how to do the change. This meant that they believed in controlling thought, they just could not agree on what thoughts to control. John Calvin was a contemporary of Luther but he is considered the second wave of reformists. Calvin believed Church and state where one, unlike Luther who believed in separation of Church and state. But the truth is everything that controls the currencies of man’s wind, what gets man to do something is all that is needed to be regulated by our society of equals, for example religions, governments and banks.
The big religious difference of the two mind control freaks called Calvin and Luther was the Calvin thought of predestination. Calvin believed that Sky God had a plan for each and every Man at the time of creation and how you lived your life was the way God planned you to so live. This was the assembly line approach where Sky God deliberately made you good or bad – you were not capable of salvation unless Christ wanted you to live your life that way. You apparently had no free will to change Sky God’s plan. This was a bit of the Hindu caste system brought to the Christian religion now called Calvinism. You need to accept the fate you live and the limitations so created and you will be welcomed upstairs. If you fight the system you are going to hell just as God intended you to end up.
Luther believed that we are all from sin. The spark that drove people to his beliefs was that anyone could receive salvation, which was an undeserved gift of the divine grace of Sky God by having faith in the big man of our sky alone. You were not predestined, and you could overcome your Earthly problems with faith. But one can argue that if you had faith then that was your predestination and therefore it was all God’s plan. What I am pointing out is the absurdity of man and how micro our minds can be when we are struggling to figure out what to do with our heads in between meals and sleep. Why we cannot share our space in this time is insane.
Instead of creating Us versus Them divisions, why have we not grouped us all together and said time to have a society where everyone is entitled to a minimum standard of health and welfare? No more division of man, so man can be controlled by the mathematician of our fears – the ones who sell them and us division, so as divided we now all fall.
The First Catholic Protestant War in Central Europe:
Back to the last quarter of the 2000-year reign of Pisces emotional content: The reformers of the Church caused religious war to become the main theme of the lands. The first inning, yes first inning, as this insane religious war was just a baseball game of sorts to see who would finally gain control with no innings to reach a final score until we all die or just scream enough of this Christian insanity, was a social community war. It was a peasant war in Germany in 1525 that killed about 100,000 Catholics living life as the zombies the Vatican wished to see. Wonder if they still like the heaven they died to go too?
There was a school of thought growing at the same time as Luther and Calvin. That thought was a return to the old school of thought which was the practice of Pelagius. Pelagius was around when Augustine preached his theories of original sin. Pelagius preached that Jesus was here to show us the way to redemption. He thought that it was possible to attain moral perfection in this life without the assistance of God, through the use of free will. This sounds correct to me but to Augustine and the two new co-chairmen of the coming Pharisee order, Luther and Calvin, they agreed with Augustine and knew, not felt but knew, that perfection was impossible without Sky God as we are sinners from birth.
Sin was the underpinnings of the organized Christians religions and was the rule to create the order that would give these religions the control of the flock. The Catholic Church had abused their powers with God by creating too much pomp & circumstances surrounding their rule. It was a carnival to attract the audience. The reformation wished to rid the circus atmosphere from the order. The reformation was basically a German area movement that spread from that location. The Germanic areas were held together in what was the Holy Roman Empire. There was no unity in communities. There was no one common culture absent language and the Empire was not an Empire, nor Roman. In fact, it was these same Germanic tribes that eventually overthrew the original Roman Empire.
