Please do further research. The main reason Martin Luther left the Catholic Church was because he asked permission to sell indulgences but was declined by the bishop because the latter was suspicious of his motive as he already had relationship with a nun. And because of the bishop's refusal to his request, he then advocated to stop all indulgences and removed 7 books in the original bible as those 7 books mention about indulgence and intercessory prayers for our loved ones and brethren who already passed away. Friends, as a former protestant, we not only believe in our pastors without doing research to prove what we are told about.

Let me guess, you got your info from Catholic historians. Those that control the narrative control its history.

[@hglundahl]

2:33 to 2:37 ... Why did you leave out Ephesians 2:10? So, not _by_ works (already done before justification), but certainly _into_ works (those that God has prepared for us).

[@hglundahl]

I think a better translation would be "of" or "from", so I gve the full quote from Ephesians 2 in Latin Vulgate and English Douay Rheims: *8 Gratia enim estis salvati per fidem, et hoc non ex vobis : Dei enim donum est : 9 non ex operibus, ut ne quis glorietur. 10 Ipsius enim sumus factura, creati in Christo Jesu in operibus bonis, quae praeparavit Deus ut in illis ambulemus.* *8 For by grace you are saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, for it is the gift of God; 9 Not of works, that no man may glory. 10 For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus in good works, which God hath prepared that we should walk in them.*

Because of luther we have bibles in our hand, because of luther realising the cult of pope and breaking away, people like William Carey, Hudson Taylor, David Livingston, etc took the wonderful news of Christ all over the world.

More then about indulgances. So much scandel happening in church and priesthood. He wanted to change things but we had a not so.great pope then. And they excommunicated him. He did not mean for mary to be dismissed that happened last other generation

[@hglundahl]

1:17 What was Luther saying in 1517, on works? 41. Apostolic[70] pardons are to be preached with caution, lest the people may falsely think them preferable to other good works of love. 42. Christians are to be taught that the pope does not intend the buying of pardons to be compared in any way to works of mercy. 43. Christians are to be taught that he who gives to the poor or lends to the needy does a better work than buying pardons; 44. Because love grows by works of love, and man becomes better; but by pardons man does not grow better, only more free from penalty.

[@hglundahl]

1:02 I just checked wikisource. In the 95 thesis, there is no contestation against Purgatory existing, and there is no pretense that the Purgatory is not mentioned in Scripture. One part of contestation was this passage, theses 16 through 20: 16. Hell, purgatory, and heaven seem to differ as do despair, almost-despair, and the assurance of safety. 17. With souls in purgatory it seems necessary that horror should grow less and love increase. 18. It seems unproved, either by reason or Scripture, that they are outside the state of merit, that is to say, of increasing love. 19. Again, it seems unproved that they, or at least that all of them, are certain or assured of their own blessedness, though we may be quite certain of it. 20. Therefore by "full remission of all penalties" the pope means not actually "of all," but only of those imposed by himself. 21. Therefore those preachers of indulgences are in error, who say that by the pope's indulgences a man is freed from every penalty, and saved; 22. Whereas he remits to souls in purgatory no penalty which, according to the canons, they would have had to pay in this life. As you can see, Luther presumes 1) there are souls in Purgatory, 2) as they can still continue sanctification, they should not want to get time off from it, 3) a contestation of what the Church can or cannot remit by an Indulgence.

if Luther looked into the Bible a bit more then maybe he would've found out that he has no authority to interpret scripture as he so pleases. The truth is that although leaders of the Catholic Church were experiencing a moral decay, Luther was fueled with pride and sensuality and thought of himself as somehow higher than all authority. Oh and then he went on to get married with a nun. "But know this first of all, that no prophecy of Scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation, for no prophecy was ever made by an act of human will, but men moved by the Holy Spirit spoke from God." (2 Peter 1:20-21)

[@kenkeil9067]

There was much abuse in the Catholic Church.Salvation is from the sacrifice of Jesus and resurrection not on Good works.Jesus saves you, not your good works. However the Lord doesn’t forget your works.

[@Churchofthefathers]

HEBREWS 13:17 “Obey your leaders and submit to them, for they are keeping watch over your souls, as those who will have to give an account. Let them do this with joy and not with groaning …” if you believe in the Bible alone, you’d have to explain why Luther was right to disobey the church and go out on his own biblically. The entire foundation of protestant ism hinges on this passage, Luther was disobedient, and even if if he were right with some of his points, which he was on some, they should’ve been surrendered at the feet of the leaders above him, he could have reformed the church from the inside out! The Bible does not give mention of any exception to the following of the above mentioned passage. The Bible doesn’t say submit to your leaders except for….! Interestingly, enough being a former protestant for 25 years I have yet to be part of a church body or see a body that in someway doesn’t or disobey church leadership throughout the course of time within the community. Church split after Church split, The protestant church rides or dies with this un escapable passage. It is doomed to continue to repeat this cycle because at its core beginning it was founded on disobedience, and lack of respect for authority.

[@philipminnaar6485]

Luther was 100% right to leave because he doesn't want to be part of sacrilegious dogmas and creeds and man forgiving the sins of people by paying them.The Bible declares in revelations 18v4 to come out of her that ye be not partakers of her sins.So if you still sit under all these dogmas and man made creeds you will be judged with them.

“The drama of Luther walking through Wittenberg with his hammer and his nails is very, very unlikely to have happened,” says Professor Andrew Pettegree, an expert on the Reformation from the University of St. Andrews, Scotland. “The castle church door was the normal noticeboard of the university. This was not an act of defiance on Luther’s part, it was simply what you did to make a formal publication. It would probably have been pasted to the door rather than nailed up.” Peter Marshall would go even further. A historian of the Reformation at Warwick University, England, he believes there’s a strong case to be made that the Theses were never posted at all, and that the story was invented to suit the political needs of people who came later. “The incident was first recorded nearly 30 years after,” he says. “Luther himself never mentioned it. There was very little discussion of the nailing of the Theses before the first Reformation anniversary of 1617.”

He criticized the Pope, but he did worst, made a church of his image, chanching many things, took out the essence of that Jesus Christ founded, Holly Mother God importance, the Saints, etc. The good example begins with us, not by changing what Jesus Christ tought us. If one believes in Jesus Christ, believes and follows His teachings. He was possessed, weak, committed adultery, etc. Do you really thing he went to heaven?

Luther was an obsessive compulsive going to confession 2-3X/day. He needed a psychologist. To salve his scrupulosity he started assured salvation by Faith Alone. To this day, people still fall for that.

Selfishness…

[@hglundahl]

0:51 _"the belief that a believer could buy an indulgence"_ Can you document that as being a belief which was around for Luther to criticise? Indulgences were given for good works, and then and there certain types of alms were among these, does not mean anyone said indulgences could be bought.

[@matthewbroderick6287]

Martin Luther taught the man made traditions of faith alone and Scripture alone, not found in Holy Scripture, or the Church authority that existed way before the new testament was ever written! It is by WORKS and NOT BY FAITH ALONE that we are JUSTIFIED! And, !Give alms and all shall be clean within for you ", Jesus Christ! Holy Scripture teaches we must all strive for that holiness without which no one shall see the Lord, as we shall each be judged as we have judged others and we shall each be held accountable for every careless word we have uttered and shall each be liable to judgment if angry with others! Peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink

[@sammygomes7381]

God gave us His word and everything we need is in it for salvation and nothing outside scripture can save us, Sound like all we need is scripture to be saved which by the way is the keys to the kingdom of God. I just confessed Jesus as Lord and savior on the bus, I step of and get hit by a car and die, am I saved? I have no works. Does my works justify my salvation to God or man? The minute I am saved my name is in the Book of Life. Any works done, which by the way are not our works but Christ working through us, justifies our salvation to man not God. Works does not save anyone but it justifies man. Sort of like Baptism of the Holy Spirit. When we receive Christ no one knows which is the reason we follow it up with water baptism to show the world.

[@matthewbroderick6287]

@sammygomes7381 Holy Scripture teaches we must cooperate with God's saving grace and repent and bear fruit and forgive others and love one another and keep the commandments and persevere to the end to be saved! So, why listen to fallible and unnecessary Protestant Pastors, when we have the infallible Holy Scriptures then? Peace always in Jesus Christ our Great and Kind God and Savior, He whose Flesh is true food and Blood true drink!

[@sammygomes7381]

@@matthewbroderick6287 Christ is not a Protestant Pastor unless you say a protestant is one the protests against the Catholic church. If you folow infallible scripture maybe you could show me where we are to pray to an immaculate idol who was a perpetual virgin, was assumed, made queen of heaven and mother of God. We are saved by faith. Everything that follows is adhering to that faith, but it does not save us, only justifies our salvation.. I still have no idea why you insist that we have to eat Christ and drink His blood especially when the Father tells us not to drink blood, which is a pagan ritual. As stated many times before, not once did the apostles or Christ say mass or turn bread into the body of Christ. Remember, Christ being the bread of life is a metaphor as Mary gave birth to a son, not a loaf of bread.

[@sammygomes7381]

@@matthewbroderick6287 Depends on if that pastor is speaking the scriptures. One thing we know is if a church has a pastor that is a good start as Christ's church has pastors in a leadership role. What Christ's church does not have in a leadership role is a priest, cardinal, or pope. Like Christ and the apostles, a pastor doesn't say mass, they preach the word of God. God's word teaches we are saved by God's grace by believing in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior not eating Him. Not once did Christ or the apostles ever turn bread into the body of Christ. If that was the case Jesus would be disobey the Father as we are not to drink blood. Not once did the apostles teach we had to eat and drink blood for salvation which sounds a lot like pagan rituals from long ago. Many blessing.

@@mohankang8062 There is a reason I put my faith in the word of God and not man. Jerone seems to be responsible for the reason Catholics worship Mary as his translation of Lyke 1:28 is incorrect. Jerome translated it from the Latin rather than returning to the Greek which tells us Mary was "favored with grace". Back to the main story. If we had to be cleansed there was no purpose for Christ to go to the cross as it was His blood that cleansed us. A Christian is saved, it's our works that go to the fire. 1 Cor. 3:1 For no one can lay another foundation than that which was laid, which is Jesus Christ. 12 Now if anyone builds on this foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or stubble, 13 each one’s work will be revealed. For the Day will declare it, because it will be revealed by fire, and the fire will test what sort of work each has done. 14 If anyone’s work which he has built on the foundation endures, he will receive a reward. 15 If anyone’s work is burned, he will suffer loss. But he himself will be saved, still going through the fire.

Because the Catholic Pope was lie, that he is forgiving the sins for money. And the people did not know, what says the Gospel. They couldn't read it. In the Catholic Church and Orthodox Church were prohibited for ordinary people to read the Gospel. Beside this there were no Gospels in their language. Martin Luther Wrote some gospel truths, that the forgive of the sins are through faith in the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross, through the Grace. And these truths were spread between people. When the Pope had heard that, he gave the order that Martin Luther must be Killed. But some friends of him hide him in a cathedral. He was living there for three years and he in this time translate the Holly Bible from Latin in Germany language. That translation is using until now. That the people can read and to know what says the Bible about forgive the sins. Ephesians 2:8; For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith -- and this not from yourself, it is the gift of God -- not by works, so that no one can boast.
