[Quiche Moraine] Shish on Grand Avenue, Part II | Quiche Moraine: As we sat and I sipped my ginger beer while Matt talked about the future of Minnesota, about his kids and his attachment to both his Mac-Groveland neighborhood and rural Minnesota, I began to share his vision.  Then I realized that I had already shared this vision, but he was able to articulate how to put it into motion.  Government and business, I realized, can actually work together to develop careers that go beyond “jobs.”  Government and business can also work to restore the luster of rural communities.

[Times & Seasons, An Onymous Mormon Blog] The Revisionist Reformation | Times & Seasons, An Onymous Mormon Blog: In addition to abandoning or modifying various remnants of what Joseph Smith considered true religion, the Reformation also created or imported powerful ideas that contrast sharply with the Restoration.  As already mentioned, the Reformation was radically individualistic.  (Calvinism may have originally been a communal exception, and there are other exceptions, but radical individualism is a widely accepted fruit of the Reformation.)  There were no longer communities working together toward salvation (an idea taken quite literally during the medieval period).  There was nothing beyond individual humans who obtain salvation through faith or predestination.  This salvation was itself something new: it was an event.  Martin Luther is perhaps the best and most influential example of a theology wherein an eternal, qualitative transformation comes about at a specific moment in time.  Following this one-time event there is nothing more to be said.  Together with event-salvation came its companion: the faith-works dichotomy.  Faith and works became two separate things, partitioning the existential human, further degrading the physical, and turning faith into a wholly intellectual phenomenon.  Faith””which could no longer be in an existential covenant, dispensation, way of life, or method of progression revealed by God through a contemporary spokesman””became psychological faith in Christ.  Since our only access to what, specifically, this amounts to isfound in scripture, faith and salvation became dependant on the Bible.  Protestant Christians became literally people of the book.  While the Reformation-era Christians did not hold contemporary notions of the inerrancy of the Bible, their biblical dependency was certainly the foundation.
