So this past weekend, I went on a mission trip to the Dakotas and Minnesota, and one of the missionaries I talked to mentioned having to adapt to where you are located. Like he has a gun and isn't all lovey dovey. He can't be or the Natives will walk all over him. I get that. My first thought when I read Thomas Muntzer's 34 was Mr. Matthew's words; however this guy crossed a line. He was not adapting to his location. What I understood from this is he is talking about the rich, and how they are at fault. Then when he mentioned burning flesh! Now perhaps he meant spiritually, but that was not the vibe I got as I read this.
P.S. I commented on Sydni's!
Muntzer was indeed very severe with his words in "vindication and refutation." I think he was referring to Luther and attacking him for "distorting and obscuring the biblical demand for social justice." Whatever the cause, I think his response is definitely crossing a line.
