 Christian III of Denmark - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian III (August 12, 1503–January 1, 1559), king of Denmark and Norway, was the son of Frederick I of Denmark and his first consort, Anne of Brandenburg.
The ultimate triumph of the Danish party dates from 1539, the dangers threatening Christian III from the emperor Charles V and other kinsmen of the imprisoned Christian II convincing him of the absolute necessity of removing the last trace of discontent in the land by leaning exclusively on Danish magnates and soldiers.
The pivot of the foreign policy of Christian III was his alliance with the German Evangelical princes, as a counterpoise to the persistent hostility of Charles V, who was determined to support the hereditary claims of his nieces, the daughters of Christian II, to the Scandinavian kingdoms.

Under this authority, an officer cannot prevail in a challenge to a discharge after non-promotion if the government can demonstrate that, notwithstanding the error in the promotion proceedings, the officer still would not have been promoted.

Thesis II states that beyond the above statements of faith, "nothing may be rejected decisively and confessionally in one partner church which is binding dogma in another partner church." Nor are such subsequent creedal statements to be imposed on others.
Living issues of Christian faith are mandated to "the religious," who are "experts." Thus Christians are released from the undoubted burden of spiritually responsible discipleship.
