Sadly then, it couldn’t be Luther. This is the point this article is trying to drive home.
You have hit on the correct point. Christ did not murder. But Christ did not sin at all.
How can His Church be His Church if the Church is comprised of Sinners? Does he not say, “no one is worthy, not one?” or “Be ye perfect!”
You’re right, back in those days, the catholic church never imprisoned, tortured, or had any heretics burned. So I wouldn’t even worry about it if I were you. But yes,, the church at the time if the reformation was not anything of jesus, and the reform was fully justified.
And a very sane reading if it all is that the roman church split away from christianity by trying to become the ultimate superior, rather than an equal among the early churches,,, as christ intended.
