“On coming to the house, they (the Magi), saw the child with his mother Mary, and they bowed down and worshiped him. (Matthew 2:11) [This] adoration, too, was not the same as the worship of God. In my opinion they did not yet recognize him as God, but they acted in keeping with the custom mentioned in Scripture, according to which Kings and important people were worshiped; this did not mean more than falling down before them at their feet and honoring them.” PeopleMeanChildrenImportantMotherFallHouseOpinionSawsFeetKingsWorshipDown AndScriptureCustomsMaryFalling DownAdorationMatthewMother Mary Author:Martin Luther

“The theologians also should not be irritated. For if they find that this opinion is false, then they would be free to condemn it; and if they discover that it is true, they ought to thank those who have opened the way to finding the true sense of the Scriptures and who have prevented them from falling into the grave scandal of condemning a true proposition.” IfsWayShouldWould BeFallOpinionOughtFindingsScriptureGravesPropositionsTheologianScandalIrritatedCondemning Author:Galileo Galilei
