Ponderizations of a Crazy Calvinist
Blagging for England from the persecuted church

Tuesday, November 02, 2004


"I cannot help wondering,

at the simplicity of

those who have asserted

that the two swords of the Gospel

represent, one the spiritual,

the other the secular power. Yes! the

pope wields a sword of iron;

it is thus he exhibits himself to

Christendom, not as a tender father,

but as a formidable tyrant.

Alas! an angry God has given us the

sword we longed for, and

taken away that which we despised.

In no part of the world have

there been more terrible wars than

among Christians......Why did

not that acute mind which

discovered this fine commentary,

interpret in the same subtle manner

the history of the two keys

intrusted to St. Peter, and lay it down

as a doctrine of the Church,

that one key serves to open the

treasures of heaven, the other the

treasures of earth?"
Martin Luther
