Answer:
Right choice:
Luther taught that salvation came from faith alone, while the Church taught that both faith and good works could bring about salvation.
Explanation:
Martin Luther was a priest and theologian in Wittenberg, Germany. In his times, one of the usual practices of the Roman Catholic Church was to issue papal bulls for a payment that would absolve the person from his or her sins. This was scandalous to the eyes of Luther. Besides, abuses and immoral behavior by priests and bishops, often too attached to worldy possessions and pleasures, was not uncommon. This led Luther to publish his 95 thesis on the doors of the Wittenberg seminar where he taught, the start of Reformation and Protestantism in Europe. The Lutheran creed says that human salvation is an act of the grace of God and can be attained through faith only; Christians can establish a direct communication with God, not through intermediaries (Catholic priests); the ultimate authority on religious issues is the Bible, the Holy Scriptures, not the interpretation and dogmas of the Vatican.
First of all, (just to clear this up) the conflict and tension between GB and the colonies was a lot more complex than 2 events. The ones I will name here are important, but take them more as a symbol of the breaking ties of GB and the colonies than the only 2 things that led to the American Revolution (aka take this answer with a grain of salt, it is too simple to be complete).
1) The Sugar Acts/Stamp Acts/Townsend Acts (1763-66): Following the French and Indian war (also known as the 7 years war) Britain had huge amounts of debt from fighting overseas. Many British were outraged that they had to pay the tax alone, because they believed the colonists were responsible for the war. So the British government did what it thought was right and taxed the colonists through 3 direct taxes. These taxes (named above) taxed sugar, paper goods, tea, paper, paint, some metals, and a variety of other things. Colonists were outraged that they were being directly taxed without representation in the British Government and rebelled by boycotting goods, and harming tax collectors, but one especially good example was the Boston tea party, in which Colonists dumped entire cases of British tea into the Boston Harbor to rebel against taxes.
2) Intolerable acts: As a result of the Boston Tea Party, Britain created a series of laws aimed at punishing the colonies for their rebellious behaviour. These were known as the Intolerable acts by colonists and included such things as closing down the Boston Harbor and requiring that the dumped tea be paid for. This was the last straw for many radical colonists, as they believed that their basic rights had been clearly infringed. These radicals used ideas from the Enlightenment to justify trying to sever ties with Great Britain.
Answer:
Through the violence of colonization and the conquering of the New World, Latin America was brought under the influence of Christianity. Missionaries brought with them death in the for of subjugation and sickness, as well as enslavement and violent conversion.
