5) According to John Green, why was Luther successful with his rebellion when others before him had failed?
gayaneshka [121]

5. According to John Green, Luther's success with the rebellion stemmed from his ability to, initially, make his teachings resonate with peasants and youths. But this resonance did not last long. Luther soon turned his teachings against the peasants in favor of the kings and princes.

6. <em>Luther's or the peasants' argument</em> about serfdom was correct. No one should endure bondage or serfdom, with increasing taxation without representation.

7. The reasons that Princes and Kings defied the Pope and broke away from the Church were<em> to possess landed property formerly owned by the Church (</em><em>Wealth</em><em>)</em>, <em>decide how they practiced religion (e.g. </em><em>divorce</em><em>)</em>, <em>and boost their </em><em>military powers</em><em> </em>(making people loyal to the government instead of to the Church).

8. The Reformation was ultimately a wrong move because it split the Church, creating too many denominations with different and confusing interpretations of the Bible. However, there are some valuable lessons. It separated the Church from the state. It created religious freedom.

The Church has no business mingling with the state.  The Church and the state should remain separate, complementing each other like institutions. Governments should not regulate religion because it is a <em>personal endeavor</em>. It is a <em>spiritual enterprise</em> and not <em>social or economic</em>. There are some aspects of life in which the state should not involve itself. Otherwise, individual rights suffer jeopardy.

Thus, the Reformation was a bag of the good and the ugly. Reformation should happen <em>within and not without</em> the Church. Luther's outcome seems to be projected from Satan. Any Reformation outside the Church is no Reformation. It is simply Separation and Division, generating Confusion.

1. What two things does Green say the revolution were not about?​
Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Green said that the revolution was not tea and taxes

Explanation:

John Green has a very different take on how the American revolution started and why the locals had an uprising against British colonial rule.

He explains that the 'American Revolution' was something completely different from the American Revolutionary War which was a direct, armed conflict with the British.

While the Boston tea party clearly showed a disdain for local Americans, the revolution did not start because of the taxes on tea. The rallying cry 'no taxation without representation' showed a deep rooted belief in many colonists that they were actually seen as second class citizens of the British crown and did not enjoy the same benefits as others.

He also explains how the revolution was for 'rich white men' and for more than a century, the country was run in a way that would benefit only this class of people.
