Protestants protesting indulgences

Hi Lutero and Tomas,

Tomas said:
1) The reformation was a product of a totally different time period, thus a question I would like to raise is why are the Protestants still “protesting”, when the sale of indulgences ended over 400 years ago?

Lutero responded:

I am quite sure that I cannot be wrong, but the current pope very recently announced that Catholics could buy indulgences if they not able to make the trip to one of the Marian shrines.

Indulgences continue to be provided by the Catholic Church. It is a true doctrine established by Jesus Christ:

Luke 11:41

But rather give alms of such things as ye have; and, behold, all things are clean unto you.

There is however, a wrong way to manage this practice. This is partially illustrated in Scripture (Acts 8:17-19).

The unlawful use of indulgences has been condemned and in fact, has never been permitted. Those who unlawfully offered them in olden times have paid for their offense.

Lutero said:
I must say you are still asleep and not aware of what is happening around you. That’s why I pity you gotta “Cradle-catholic” tag hanging around you neck.

And we pity you. May God forgive you your Pharisaic attitude.

Lutero, you said:
Do you have a problem if there are so many?.

You should too (Ephesians 4:5).

And what makes you say One has the truth while the SO many are liars and will go to Hell???

Scripture says so (1 Tim 3:15; 4:1; 4:16; and Matthew 7:13-15).

Sincerely,

De Maria
