In reading the 95 theses, I was a bit lost. The concepts are not all completely foreign to me, but a lot of them I do not really understand. When he talks about someone's last moments (I think), he is basically saying that's when they are the fakest because they are just scared. Indulgences are supposed to supposedly save one from purgatory, but Abernathy described purgatory as "not a place". Then what are they paying money to save them from? I also thought that how later on he says that even though one pays an indulgence, if you pass a poor person on the street and do not give money to them, your indulgence does not count. Paying money for forgiveness just does not make sense to me.
I commented on Daniel and Darby's.
