This is nothing new, Luther and Calvin did pretty much the same thing five centuryies ago.

You really think that this is comparable???

Perhaps you should revisit exactly, what Luther's criticisms with the then corrupt Catholic Church actually were.

No one, none of us, is beyond correction, beyond reproof.

Do you doubt that? If so, I suspect that is because of the long practiced abuse of power still perpetuated unto this day, by religious *authorities* who claim that authority rests with themselves...as opposed to resting in the Word, and in Christ, and also living in each and every follower of Him, through the power of the Holy Ghost.

The apostle Peter, was at one point himself corrected by the brethren...even though it was first he himself [amongst the then Apostles] that was [supernaturally] given the doctrine that;
Christ's sacrifice, was for all of humanity.

If that were not true, there would be no Catholic Church, at all!!! Salvation would be for the Jews, alone.

Comparing this modern "it's ok to be a homo" heresy, with Luther's condemnations of what was then, certain errors of the Roman Catholic leadership, is gross error, on your part!

Knock it off!

Luther and Calvin did not advocate sin as being not sin, so they are not similar to this.

They were responding to unbiblical, unChristian abuses in the Catholic Church and attempting to remedy them.
