*A pastor who fails to deal with sin is like a doctor who fails to deal with illness. You better find another one."

Martin Luther OSA was a German priest, theologian, author, hymnwriter, professor, and Augustinian friar. Luther was the seminal figure of the Protestant Reformation, and his theological beliefs form the basis of Lutheranism. He is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in Western and Christian history. 

Nailed the 95 Theses: Martin Luther is best known for his 95 Theses, which he is said to have nailed to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenberg on October 31, 1517. This act is commonly considered the starting point of the Protestant Reformation, challenging the Catholic Church's practices, particularly the sale of indulgences.

Excommunicated and Outlawed: In 1521, Luther was excommunicated by Pope Leo X and declared an outlaw by the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V at the Diet of Worms. Despite this, he continued to promote his reforms and translated the Bible into German, making it more accessible to the common people.

Translation of the Bible: Luther translated the Bible into German, starting with the New Testament in 1522 and completing the Old Testament in 1534. His translation played a significant role in shaping the German language and making the Scriptures accessible to a broader audience.

Theological Contributions: Luther's theology emphasized key doctrines such as justification by faith alone (sola fide), the authority of Scripture alone (sola scriptura), and the priesthood of all believers. These ideas were foundational to the development of Protestantism.

Lutheranism: Martin Luther’s teachings and reforms led to the establishment of the Lutheran Church, one of the major branches of Protestantism. His followers, known as Lutherans, continued to develop his theological insights and build upon his reforming work, influencing the course of Christian history.

I LOVE coming across that type of comments because they're so completely uninformed and yet so confidant they just end up being straight up baffling.

A vastly different version "from the one we have now" you say? Okay??? Which "one"??? Which 18th century translation are you talking about, and in what language? Because the Bible has been translated in full into an estimated 736 different languages, and there are well over a hundred translations just in English. Like, dude. What is that "version that we have now" and what donkey's ass did you pull that 18th century date from?

The most widely known English Bible is still the King James (from the 17th century) and I'm almost certain that's the one they're referring to, but that's still hilarious for a billion reasons - like the fact that we translate the NT from the original Greek and Aramaic nowadays, not from the Vulgate (Latin) or other English versions, and that the source texts we translate are AT MOST one century removed from the original copies, and that even a cursory look into older translation vs newer ones will tell you nothing about the differences between them qualifies as "vast." Meaning that the Bible we have today is the same as the one from around 300 AD. And that's without getting into their conflation of the NT and OT, because the claim that the OT has been changed since 300 AD is even more ludicrous (see the Dead Sea Scrolls).

Eli Kittim: New Testament Exegete

Kittim’s Eschatology: The Kittim Method

Eli of Kittim is the author of the award-winning book The Little Book of Revelation: The First Coming of Jesus at the End of Days, and a former contributor to the Journal of Higher Criticism, and Rapture Ready, which has published work by Billy Crone, David Reagan, Jan Markell, Thomas Ice, Thomas Horn, Bill Salus, Jonathan Cahn, Randall Price, John McTernan, Tim LaHaye, Ron Rhodes, Renald Showers, & Paul McGuire.

Eli of Kittim’s work is grounded on the original language of the New Testament. It pulls the rug from under a great deal of what passes for scholarship these days. But his work is also based on a revelation from Mount Sinai! So, it is both inspired and scholarly. According to Kittim, a view must be based on revelation, with scholarship added. Otherwise it is grounded on guesswork and conjecture.

Eli Kittim’s conclusion that the New Testament is essentially a collection of prophecies which will culminate in the last days, rather than a record of past events, is groundbreaking, challenging the hermeneutical assumptions of the status quo! It deserves serious consideration, otherwise we’re either dealing with consensus theology or downright academic dishonesty.

To examine his evidence (The Kittim Method), see the following materials:

1). What if the crucifixion of Christ is a future event? (Video)

This is based on translation and exegesis of the Greek New Testament

2). When is the end of the age? (Article)

This is based on word studies of parallel passages and verbal agreements in the New Testament

God: where’s the shepherd?

Cain: do I look like a broherd?

The first funny bitch was Cain, who straight up lied to God after killing his brother.

Answering Criticisms about Italics in the King James

My faithful readers pay attention to details! I'm so grateful for those who take the time to read and challenge what I've written. Here I'll address some of those challenges, including admitting where I'm wrong!

One of my faithful audience who reads my articles and watches my videos pointed out some issues he takes with my article addressing myths about italics and the King James Version. Now, most of the main myths I addressed, he left alone, but some of the information I included along the way has been a stumbling block. So consider this a clarification to address the following accusations. The King…

We must inquire about this of the mother in the home, the children on the street, the common man in the marketplace. We must watch their mouth and be guided by their language, the way they speak, and do our translating accordingly. That way they will understand it and recognize that we are speaking German to them. ~Martin Luther, "On Translating: An Open Letter" in The Annotated Luther, vol. 6: The Interpretation of Scripture, 30.
