Summary
In this episode, The Thinking Fellows address the idea that the Reformation is not worthy of celebration but is lamentable. The Fellows contend that the Reformation ought to be celebrated for its recovery of the Gospel. Likewise, history tells us that Luther alone did not divide the catholic church but that separation and division have always been in the history of the Church on earth.

| 0:40.8 | bunch more. If you like or enjoy this episode of the Think Fellows, I'm sure you will find |
| 0:45.7 | something else helpful there on our website. Today, I am joined by my father, Dr. Scott Keith, |
| 0:53.0 | and by Adam Francisco, to discuss why you should |

| 1:19.3 | I'm just wondering where on the internet do you spend your time that you see the things that you see? |
| 1:23.7 | Because I don't see any of this. |
| 1:24.7 | Well, I don't spend that much time on it i did delete most |
| 1:27.6 | of the social media apps and i and i peep a couple of the other ones in the ones i kept |

| 1:56.9 | the church was divided and we shouldn't celebrate division in the body of Christ, |
| 2:03.0 | we should lament it and hope that the separation that the Reformation ushered in comes to an end. |
| 2:11.2 | Now I have like numerous objections to this, but I think one of the problems I have with it is that this is maybe something I expect |
