The catholic church had departed from the faith by changing the biblical doctrines and fomenting heresies in the Christian church from Augustine on and had become a totally corrupt institution which not only sold indulgences, but was responsible for the blood of both saints and sinners, especially during times like the inquisition.
Martin Luther was one among a handful of others God used to return the true Church, the body of Christ, to the right ways of God and Christ through following the teachings of the scripture only.
The above articles are revisionist history created by the deceived and for the deceived, Catholics preach a false gospel of grace and will suffer the consequences at the White Throne Judgment.
One can not add to the grace by faith salvation God alone provided through the shed blood of Jesus Christ alone and not expect the enumerated consequences of Galations 1:

3Grace be to you and peace from God the Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ,

4Who gave himself for our sins, that he might deliver us from this present evil world, according to the will of God and our Father:

5To whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

6I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ unto another gospel:

7Which is not another; but there be some that trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of Christ.

8But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.

9As we said before, so say I now again, if any man preach any other gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

10For do I now persuade men, or God? or do I seek to please men? for if I yet pleased men, I should not be the servant of Christ.

11But I certify you, brethren, that the gospel which was preached of me is not after man.

12For I neither received it of man, neither was I taught it, but by the revelation of Jesus Christ.

The catholic doctrines are to Christianity what the democrats are to the constitution, an enemy of the truth.

That's a beautiful quote from Galatians. As I'm sure you know, the new Gospel was invented by Martin Luther. The Church was founded by Christ, and has been entrusted with the Apostolic Faith. Martin Luther's Gospel, as it contradicts the Catholic Faith, is anti-Scriptural.

"Martin Luther was one among a handful of others God used to return the true Church, the body of Christ, to the right ways of God and Christ through following the teachings of the scripture only."

Yes, Martin Luther as the messianic fulfillment of divine prophecy. And your basis for saying that Martin Luther was chosen by God to return the Church to the right ways of God is...??

"The above articles are revisionist history created by the deceived and for the deceived,"

So it's in error? Please show us where.

"Catholics preach a false gospel of grace and will suffer the consequences at the White Throne Judgment."

I see. And what is the false gospel of Grace being preached by Catholics?

Gee, those are the same arguments used against the protestant heresy. The gospel preached after man: Ian Paisley, Jack Chick, etc.

But, as long as ya r quotin yer Bible, heer's anudder won two konsider:


2 Pet 3:15-17 And consider the patience of our Lord as salvation, as our beloved brother Paul, according to the wisdom given to him, also wrote to you, speaking of these things as he does in all his letters. In them there are some things hard to understand that the ignorant and unstable distort to their own destruction, just as they do the other scriptures. Therefore, beloved, since you are forewarned, be on your guard not to be led into the error of the unprincipled and to fall from your own stability.

Of course, I full well understand how you would be very comfortable in your deception. Please feel free to enjoy it!

An impossible conclusion. How can an infallible Church, a Church protected by God Himself, BECOME TOTALLY CORRUPT? Martin Luther FURTHER SEPARATED the Body of Christ because of his own pride. While the Catholic Church was in need of reform, it doesn't follow that this was to be accomplished by schism.

How often does the Holy Spirit take these centuries-long vacations, in your view?
