Now that you know about Martin Luther's potty mouth check out this video and find out Why There Are Bibles in Hotel Rooms: th-cam.com/video/4IfcwnxFR-I/w-d-xo.html
I have read much of Luther as I am a student of both theology and the Reformation through my academic degrees. There are many quotes I love, one of my favorites relates to his gastro issues. Apparently, his farts were robust. He said, "If I break wind in Wittenberg, they will hear it in Leipzig."
Excellent job pointing out the fact that he hadn't initially intended his Theses to become widely disseminated outside the church. The "someone" who made the translation to the common tongue is generally believed to have been several of Luther's loyal acolytes.
I was aware that Martin Luther experienced depression, but one could wonder if he was not verging on being schizophrenic; schizophrenics sometimes have a fascination with feces... great video...thank you!
Martin Luther didn't actually nail the paper to the door. Rather, one of his students did it following a lesson during which Luther had voiced his views.
I've heard tell that Luther received so much inspiration while sitting in the privy simply b/c he spent so much time there due to chronic constipation. Ex-Lax and Metamucil were not widely available back then, you see.
"Leck mir den Arsch" sounds much more like a composition from a child than "Die Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebots" ("The duty of the first commandment", his first opera). :D
Absolutely LOVED this video. You have any idea how much right wing Christians LOVE this guy??? It's not that I feel his teaching was wrong, it's that he spoke the language of the times and the people. NOT, as some will declare, the holy, deeply spiritual, Godly man of faith. As was Jesus, he was a man of the people. He was one of us, not against us. He didn't judge, but instead spoke reality and realism. Whether you believe in God or not, THIS would be the type of preacher Christians really need today. Honest. Real. Down to earth and not some hypocritical right wing bs. Done. I think I need therapy....
I wish history class in school wasn't so sanitized. I bet kids would enjoy and remember history better if the people were presented as folks who are just like you and me.
Luther was only following in the footsteps of the Hussites 100 years earlier. The Hussite Revolution started in Bohemian was trying to go to war with Catholicism and did so with tons of locker room style.
Had you known, would you have expected them to be brought up? But, I had Catholic Jesuit priests who taught our classes about how corrupt the Catholic Church was ... and is. I had a World Religions class taught by a priest who told us, if we felt the sincere desire, we should join another religion. But, all that was in a Catholic College, not quite the same lessons Catholic priests teach high school level boys and girls.
In a world paralyzed by political correctness were being nice in more important then speaking truth I find Luther's comments refreshing and inspiring. Indulgences are blasphemy they teach God can be bribed with cash it's horrid evil theology. The apostle Paul like Luther pulled out all the stops to defend the truth. Many religious people today are nicer then God. Men of truth have and edge to them. It's more important to speak the truth then to be polite and inoffensive.
Marc Scordato. Luther was a great thinker surrounded by uneducated people, teaching simple truth to people lied too so much that the lie was accepted as truth and could not get over there fear of the simple truth
Nehemiah Scudder You are correct Luther began a great reformation but it was not complete as he held to the anti semantic views passed on from the Catholic Church in time the church found its way. The Prime minister of Israel declared that evangelical Christians are Israelis greatest allies I completely agree with you his anti Semitic views are deplorable but that was main stream thinking at that time. That's not justification the masses are often wrong.
An indulgence has nothing to do with cash. www.newadvent.org/cathen/07783a.htm Please educate yourself before you assert things you do not know. Thank you!!
This scatology, saying that copies of work being used as toilet paper and then sent back to the author would be believable if there were such copies found. No evidence seems to be available.
Damn...you left out all those terrible things he said about the Jews. He was pissed off that his efforts to convert the Jews didn't work AT ALL so he condemned then in the worst possible way. He was so good at it, that 400 years later the Nazis appropriated his dialogue to prove their point.
Actually, his realization of justification by faith alone was probably not achieved on the toilet. He said, quote, that he was in the "c." It is merely speculation that this is an abbreviated form of the Latin "cloaca," which literally means the sewer, but was applied by extension to refer to the outhouse. Luther was probably more likely in a study chamber when he made the discovery. Fun bonus fact: The Ancient Romans actually had a toilet goddess called "Cloacina" who presided over Rome's Cloaca Maxima, the famous sewer system. Roman citizens invoked her name in prayer whenever the system got backed up.
So basically what I got out of this video is, Shakespeare was actually quite tame compared to his contemporaries. Shakespeare would use a euphemism while the royals were just saying it outright.
The English language has more words referring to "talking tough" - "foul mouth" - "potty mouth" than it does actual words, like shit or fuck. "bad words" - "vulgarity" - "cuss words" - "swear words" - "curse words" - "dirty words" - "expletives" -
Today I Found Out that will be amazing I love famous composer's and not so well known "undiscovered" or lesser Known works there are so many but there often over taken by the more general works (well Known ) and become extremely tiresome trying to overcome them in search results for example I had never heard Antanio soleri before the movie Mozart no in America really speaks of him I wonder if this is a general consensus just like many people wouldn't know Einstein's favorite work that he would sometimes play on the violin either with a group or while perusing over his maths was that of Beethoven's where the sheep may safely graze I think it is called also I love know these random facts in detail I hope your TH-cam channel lives to the end of time itself
Well, I suppose he did spawn one of the most significant Movements in history. On a sidenote, could you do a video on how Jaffa Cakes are legally *not* biscuits?
He did give Catholics hell, he also did go from Latin to English.. he did in his own way, start another religion.. more than can be said for most historical big mouths !
Some of Luther's lingo might have been influenced by the time he spent in hiding as an "ordinary knight/soldier" called Joerg in a fortress in Wurttemburg(?). He would've had to talk like a soldier to avoid being remarked upon. Also, Catholic high-school theology classes in the 1980s in the US often mentioned the "latrine angle" when disparaging Luther and his teachings. A subtle shading, but shade nonetheless.
...So would that mean that watching/listening to The Angry Videogame Nerd is equivalent to a religious experience? It certainly feels like it at times. XD
Wow, it's amazing how little things have changed since then ;) Also, I'm not sure I like the new patreon supporter scrolling list. It makes it hard to see the names as they are scrolling.
Check out Matthew Olsen; he has a few websites connected to "church" or "catholic". He wrote a seething letter of the same sort a couple years ago. Pretty good guy.
I was taught that he was often very sick and the reason he talked about it so much was because so much of his time was consumed with sitting on the toilet. It seems odd that that isn't mentioned here, whether true or false.
While normally religious leaders would never get much more than a scat from me ( see that? Ha!) Martin Luther was a great man and worthy of the little praise he gets. He's a very interesting guy ( especially for the time he lived in) and worth researching more if there is any history buffs out there.
He is not the first to do this by any means, St Paul says it in Philippians 3 v 8. I count (consider in some translations) them loss is a really bad translation and skuballa (translated s loss) actually means "shit". Also bear in mind that for a Jew this was far ruder than in English as it carries connotations of being ceremonially unclean etc.
A concordance does not tell you anything except what it says in English. It says nothing about the original Greek. Also a Strongs Lexicon (or a Grimm lexicon for that matter) wont tell you either as it is purely how it has been translated in the Bible. You need to use a Lidel Scott Jones lexicon and look at the original Greek as LSJ goes back to Greek literature and it's meaning there. This link takes you to a Greek - English interlinear (and it used the Strongs references which are wrong for the reason above). www.scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/NTpdf/phi3.pdf you can look up the LSJ online lexicon. Also the following links verify what I'm saying: liturgy.co.nz/saint-paul-says-shit blog.alexheath.me/post/5450078117/skubala-the-apostle-paul-uses-the-word-shit bloodstainedink.wordpress.com/2013/04/09/the-apostle-paul-on-jesus-and-shit/ thinkhebrew.wordpress.com/2010/02/19/pauls-profanity/ www.patheos.com/blogs/cosmostheinlost/2015/07/13/st-paul-pope-francis-say-shit-to-their-congregations/ I can give you a couple hundred more online references or book references if you wish.
Calling Liddell-Scott-Jones "obscure" only shows that you really don't know what you're talking about. A concordance, even a really good one, simply is the wrong tool for that. It's not that the concordance is at fault; it's like having a bunch of nails and bringing a screwdriver.
Ah, so you know nothing of lexicons. You have failed to even look it up on wiki. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Greek%E2%80%93English_Lexicon stephanus.tlg.uci.edu/lsj/#eid=1&context=lsj is an online version. That makes you the utter failure. You failed to even do a Google search LMAO.
Actually "shit" is the closest we have, and from a Jewish perspective is not rude enough by a long way. Also unfortunately your methodology is not what is academically accepted as best practice. Going only by how a word is translated in the Bible can lead you right up the garden path as some words in Greek and Hebrew have far wider semantic ranges than in English (Katelaben in John 1v5b for example). Accepted practice is to use the Historical Critical method, and then an LSJ lexicon which lists every single way a word in Greek has been translated into English along with source and date. So unfortunately your argument regarding Ezra is not that strong as Ezra was written many centuries before the text in question and in another language. For the translation to agree it has to be from another source both culturally and physically close, EG written within about a weeks travel and within about 50 years. This is because even within a single insular culture like Judaism words can change meaning over time and by location. For example in John 1v5b katelaben is translated as "understand" in the NIV but "overcome" in the NRSV. This is wrong and Barratt, Brown, Bruce, Lincoln, Maloney, McHugh, and Schnackenburgh all have different answers as to how it should be translated. These are usually agreed to be the best academics in the world on the Gospel of John. I wrote on this for my dissertation for my degree. This is because logos is translated as "the word" which again is not a very good translation and is unique to the Bible. In more common meaning it means "the logic behind As part of my PhD proposal I developed an addition to the historical critical method using Lev Vygotsky's theories of how "cultural artefacts" mediate cognition. I also used parallel theories from both philosophy (Roland Barthes theory of semiotic myths), and Anthropology (Albert Szent-Gyorgyi) to refine it. So my argument remains that as skubala was considered a vulgar word amongst Greeks, and that for Jews it would have had all the connotiations of uncleanliness, as well, then "shit" is the best translation available.

Luther was criticized for using tavern music, with revised wording, in his churches.
His reply was "Why should the Devil have all the best tunes".
I have read much of Luther as I am a student of both theology and the Reformation through my academic degrees. There are many quotes I love, one of my favorites relates to his gastro issues. Apparently, his farts were robust. He said, "If I break wind in Wittenberg, they will hear it in Leipzig."
Luther gave us atomization of Christianity into a million shards of worthless glass.
Excellent job pointing out the fact that he hadn't initially intended his Theses to become widely disseminated outside the church. The "someone" who made the translation to the common tongue is generally believed to have been several of Luther's loyal acolytes.
Holy shit! This was hilarious! Watched it while I was taking a shit, too! The stars aligned.
I was aware that Martin Luther experienced depression, but one could wonder if he was not verging on being schizophrenic; schizophrenics sometimes have a fascination with feces...
great video...thank you!
scatology?! that sounds like, it could be about-oh, it is.. that's.. okay.. okay..
Jerry K yes, I was like “Scatology? What’s that? Ohhh, you know what never mind…
You know you're a great thinker when you get your best ideas on the pot.
Dear Martin, Not into *my* shirt. I have a rag for that.

4.33 "But Luther was under turd"
Jimmy Nyarlathotep You heard it, too?
That I did. I see you have *the Gift* use it wisely. Those who do not understand your powers will fear them.
Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. Now, close your legs I can see your cigar.
I'm on the toilet when I'm watching this video.
A classical composition titled "Lick My Arse Right Well and Clean"...I'll be damned. That's literally straight out of "This Is Spinal Tap".
Martin Luther didn't actually nail the paper to the door. Rather, one of his students did it following a lesson during which Luther had voiced his views.
interesting. I didn't know that.
And this is why I'm Lutheran.
This was properly hilarious :D
I've heard tell that Luther received so much inspiration while sitting in the privy simply b/c he spent so much time there due to chronic constipation. Ex-Lax and Metamucil were not widely available back then, you see.
Luther didn't believe in preaching in the Latin Vulgate but the common Vulgate of the German people. He was often criticized for this.
And here's one thing I didn't learn about in my Renaissance and Reformation history class!
this is the best video you've ever done. excellent and education.
Martin Luther was a twelve year old cod player centuries before it was cool.
Yep Simon, you are a great narrator. I like the energetic way you bring a subject about... And that's NO SHIT! Thanks.
it's worth noting "a hero to some" implies a villain to others
6:16 "Luther was unperturbed" LOL right you are
Martin Luther...Talking shit since 1517.
He aired out a lot of bullshit.
Giving a $#!%.
Imagine if Martin Luther had twitter back then, that would have been fun 😆🍕
I'm pooping while watching this video.
HOLY CRAP!!!
Day=Made... well done Simon
If anything, THIS would have been the prime episode to have sponsored by food delivery services.
Martin Luther: the AVGN of the 1500s
if you're angry enough to nail a list of grievances to someone's door, a little salty language shouldn't be surprising.
"Leck mir den Arsch" sounds much more like a composition from a child than "Die Schuldigkeit des ersten Gebots" ("The duty of the first commandment", his first opera). :D
Well done Blevins !!
"I am ripe shit, so is the world a great wide asshole; eventually we will part." That needs to be written into a rap song this very moment.

Ahhh this is in our genes! That is why we Germans Love our Scat Porn!!! :-P
I wish history class in school wasn't so sanitized. I bet kids would enjoy and remember history better if the people were presented as folks who are just like you and me.
I see Luther in a whole new light now... that man is great.
Luther was Anti-Semitic and caused there to be over 30,000 denominations all collapsing to meaninglessness in your lifetime.
Getting close to 1 million subs, million sub hype!
Thanks!
Luther was only following in the footsteps of the Hussites 100 years earlier. The Hussite Revolution started in Bohemian was trying to go to war with Catholicism and did so with tons of locker room style.
shiiiiiit, things I didn't learn in confirmation class!
Me too
I went to a Lutheran school. None of this was ever brought up in religion class.
Had you known, would you have expected them to be brought up? But, I had Catholic Jesuit priests who taught our classes about how corrupt the Catholic Church was ... and is. I had a World Religions class taught by a priest who told us, if we felt the sincere desire, we should join another religion. But, all that was in a Catholic College, not quite the same lessons Catholic priests teach high school level boys and girls.
tapolna, Why was he a priest if he didn't like the Catholic Chuch?
Aileen Borelon- He didn't like the corruption, within the church. He wanted reform.
In a world paralyzed by political correctness were being nice in more important then speaking truth I find Luther's comments refreshing and inspiring.

I wish I learned that in school
as an American, I find British people cussing still fancy
Thank you Al Dodson...
I think the whole "Leck mich im Arsch" thing is still a pretty common phrase in modern German, but yeah, it's basically equivalent to "kiss my ass".
Watching this video while eating lunch was a mistake. 🤢
.... Things I definitely DID NOT learn in Lutheran Catechism.
I'm keeping this for when my pastor gives crap for saying, "crap." Luther and my Dad would have been best friends.
Molly O'Kami- My late Mother, must be rolling over on her cloud. She was very Lutheran, and absolutely hated the word shit.
This reminds me of Erica Jong's _Fear of Flying_ which diagnoses an enduring obsession with excrement in German culture, shown by their toilet design.
This scatology, saying that copies of work being used as toilet paper and then sent back to the author would be believable if there were such copies found. No evidence seems to be available.
*well, ain't that some shit! pardon, DO-DO.*

Who else is now picturing an R-rated Seth Rogen/Jonah Hill comedy/biopic about Martin Luther?

Holy cow Simon. You riled up a lot of anti lutherans here. Ive never seen so much hate on one video.
So we are ignoring that this was common practice in that day and age.
Got it. glad to know where people stand. :)
It's too early for this video today. This is not daytime content lmao. but also, THE MORE YOU KNOW!
Hey Simon, could you do an episode on why supermarket prices are always at 99, 95 etc
The English language has more words referring to "talking tough" - "foul mouth" - "potty mouth" than it does actual words, like shit or fuck. "bad words" - "vulgarity" - "cuss words" - "swear words" - "curse words" - "dirty words" - "expletives" -
I cringed more during this video than with any of your other videos. LOL
Very interesting.
I will support your patron if you post a link to the lesser Known works of Mozart you spoke of or even do a today I found out about that subject
The work is called "Leck mir den Arsch fein recht schön sauber". Just search it on youtube.
Huh, we really haven't covered that yet on youtube? I thought we had. That will be fixed shortly as that's a super interesting one. :-)

WOW!!!!!
This is the weirdest video I've seen in awhile
God we as humans have not changed much.. Centuries later and we are still memeing about shit.
Be cautious of a person never using a bad word.
Always interesting to hear intelectuals scoffing. I love Martin Luther even more after this video, he was truly a great man
He was an anti-semitic bigot.
He did what priests commonly did when they had something to discuss,
put on a goofy hat.
LOL!!!! 😹💩😹💩😹💩
