“In the evening, I went very unwillingly to a society on Aldersgate Street where one was reading Luther’s Preface to the Epistle to the Romans. About a quarter to nine, while he was describing the change that God works in the heart through faith in Christ, I felt my heart strangely warm. I felt I did trust in Christ, Christ alone, for salvation. An assurance was given me that he had taken away my sins, even mine, and saved me from the law of sin and death.” -

Ya, he initiated it to divorce his wife. But it was further developed and established by Queen Elizabeth who wanted to merge the Catholic Church with the Protestant to end the war and bloodshd between the two. -

We say it this way:Originally posted by SingaporeMacross:No, Protestant Our Father is based on a different translation.
I hear from some jokers who say that we should not pray Our Father, because it is vain repetition. Marvellous.
Pater noster, qui es in caelis,
sanctificetur nomen tuum.
Adveniat regnum tuum.
Fiat voluntas tua, sicut in caelo et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie,
et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris.
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem:
sed libera nos a malo. Amen.

Elizabeth was one of the bloodiest persecutors of Catholics in English history. I have not come across any history stating that she wanted to merge the 2 communions to end bloodshed. For her, it was 'submit or die'.Originally posted by Honeybunz:Anglican not really from Henry VIII alone leh.
