Wrong again. Luther taught that God's word as interpreted (and defined) by himself was the final arbitor of right and wrong. Luther's break with Rome was not over the authority of the Scriptures - Rome has never, and will never deny that. It was, rather, over Rome's interpretations of those Scriptures with which Luther disagreed. Luther did not consider the Fathers, the Councils, and the Church's encyclicals to be binding authorities as to how the Scriptures were to be interepreteted. Luther did not respect any sort of Magisterium.

The difference between Luther and Rome is not the authority of Scriptures, but rather the use of a Magesterium to interpret them.
