Theology of the Cross-Romans 4:25-Jesus Christ was crucified for our sins and raised for your justification

1517-beginning of Reformation-95 theses nailed by Martin Luther

1518 was much more important for Luther-3 crucial events
  • Heidelberg Disputation
    • One of the most important moments of theological history
    • Nobody did the negative better than Luther
    • I am going to teach you by paradox-it puts side by side-opposites
    • 3 objections from those in audience to Luther were free will, good works, law of God
      • You do not have free will after the Fall
      • Your good works are sinful
      • The Law of God will not advance you along the way in this life, also it is hindering you
  • Resolutions
    • You cannot love the cross. More than that, you are offended by the cross.

    • God humbles you by submitting to the priest
  • 1st Trial-as a heretic of the church
