(C) It was using indulgences for financial benefits


Back in Martin Luther's time, the Church was the most powerful force in all the land. However, there was corruption in the Church, and they started selling "indulgences". Indulgences were payments made by ordinary people to the Catholic Church to be excused or exempted from penances for sin. Ordinarily, you go to confession, say your sins, and the priest absolves you, and gives you a few Hail Mary's and an Our Father to say as a penance (this is just an exaggeration, different penances come with different sins). Obviously, some people wanted to get off scot-free, and that's what these corrupt Church officials exploited.

As a result, Martin Luther wrote his 95 Theses, criticisms against the church, and placed it on the door of the church in Wittenburg. The printing press helped to distribute the 95 Theses much faster and to many different people. This ultimately led to many Europeans shedding their recognition of the Church's authority, and its fall in power.

Answer:

Explanation:

In sharing the Gospel with the world, I would be remiss if I didn’t share what happens to those people who die without having accepted Jesus as their Savior and so continue on the path to judgment. What’s going to happen to them? Those people who have died never having accepting Jesus’ salvation have a different destination from Heaven entirely. They are going to die in their rebellion, and they have no hope whatsoever. As Jesus in John 3:36 warned, “God’s wrath remains on him.” The following is what’s going to happen to them after they die.

1) Hades

After an unsaved person dies, they go to a place called Hades. The Bible also calls it Sheol or Torments. You can read all about it in Luke 16. Hades is a holding place for the dead, a prison. It at one time had two compartments, a place called Paradise and a place called Torments. The Old Testament Saints used to go to the Paradise part as they couldn’t go to Heaven yet because Jesus’ blood hadn’t yet been shed to cover their sins. By faith they were there as Hebrews explains, but Jesus’ blood finally allowed their freedom and Paradise was taken up to Heaven with Jesus after His crucifixion. What we have in Hades now is just what is left — Torments — a place of torment.

2) Judgment

At the end of Jesus’ Millennial Kingdom, there will be the Great White Throne Judgment. That’s a special name basically for the Resurrection of the Unjust. We can read about this final judgument

The correct answer is B) It allowed Native Americans to profit from those using the land for grazing.

The Native American acceptance of land ownership promoted the cattle industry in that it allowed Native Americans to profit from those using the land for grazing.

The Native American Indian tribes that inhabited the Indian Territory (modern-day Oklahoma), considered cattle ranching an important activity for sustenance. These tribes were experts in cattle ranching and they did know how to herd. If cattle drivers from white people crossed their territory, the Indians promptly limited grazing activities and confronted or fined ranchers for not moving the herds.
