- - - saying that Luther wasn’t a saint. Now that is totally off the wall and false.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hmmm As a Priest, he took a vow of celibacy. How long did that last ...

From pictures, looks like he enjoyed food, in excess ...

... not a saint to emulate ...

He only sliced in half the largest empire on earth with nothing more than a list. That's nothing to hold in any regard, because he was human, and not Christ on Earth like you.

All saints had sins you shouldn’t emulate... not a one of them was sinless. It’s just that they are not remembered for their sins, or for the secret battles they fought that God alone could see, but for what people saw, noted, and found admirable in spite of their human condition.

No one is a saint to emulate since we are all sinners. However, thru faith a person is a saint. And that’s the truth. This includes Martin Luther and me.
