3. how did the protestant reformation complement the growth of secular movements?

Protestant Refromation complemented the growth of secular movements by causing more people to question Church doctrine.

By underscoring the notable goodness of secular nature, the Protestant Reformation released the secular life from the limitations of a hierarchical world. As a result secular affairs including politics, economics and marriage were freed from the control of the church, and that contributed to the growth of secular movements

The Protestan Reformation took place during the 16th century and it was started by Martin Luther, an Augustinian monk in Germany. Among the reasons for the Reformation was the publication of a series of theses by Luther that went against some of the major practices done by the Roman Catholic Church of the time. Some of these theses protested against the selling of indulgences, the belief that all power within the Church and even the secular world, lay in the hands of the Pope, he also stated that it was the Bible the center of belief and the source of doctrine and not the Pope, that only good deeds were necessary for salvation and not the sacraments and finally that justification was gained through faith only. From all the 95 theses established in this publication posted on the church door of the town of Wittenberg, the one that most supported the growth of secularism was the one on the reach and earthly power that the Church, and most particularly the Pope, had. Many of the lords, especially in Germany, but also England and other countries, adhered to these beliefs and even used them in their favor, wishing to substract power, especially over lands, from the Church, to control them themselves. This then also led to the belief that the Church was not the governing power and should not be involved in the daily lives of people as one thing was the divine and another the secular world. This caused a break between Church and State that later fed the total division of the two.

because everyone tends to get their feelings hurt if they don't agree with something someone is doing and vice versa. it's a major issue that needs to be dealt with, especially in the christian society. everyone thinks that christians hate gay people, because it is a sin, and christians "just hate everyone who sins and every one is going to hell for sinning"(saying that all in a sarcastic tone but i'm just going to go ahead and tell you why everything with that type of view on christians is wrong.

#1. christians do not hate gay people. and if they do, then that is their own personal problem. christians are not supposed to hate anyone. if you hate a neighbor (or any person basically), then that is as if you are hating jesus.

#2. being gay is in fact a sin according to the holy bible. it is in genesis. and no, the fact that it is a sin, does not mean that god hates you. he is grieved that a person is sinning against his word, but he still loves that person. in fact, christians are supposed to love everyone. we are supposed to love our enemies, but hate the sin they are doing. we love you and respect you, but we do not agree with every decision you make, is basically what i'm trying to say.

hope this you ! (:
