Luther’s doctoral education was the equivalent of a modern junior high student.

So are you saying that Martin Luther was divinely inspired, say like a Joseph Smith?

I do disagree with you rz on the statement about Luther's doctoral education. He was a disciplined student and as wikipedia points out He received a Bachelor's degree in Biblical studies on 9 March 1508, and another Bachelor's degree in the Sentences by Peter Lombard in 1509.[24] On 19 October 1512, he was awarded his Doctor of Theology and, on 21 October 1512, was received into the senate of the theological faculty of the University of Wittenberg, having been called to the position of Doctor in Bible

we can fault him for being impulsive and other human failings, but he was a thorough scholar.

Martin Luther can in no way be compared to Joseph Smith who was a charlatan and a con-man from before he created his sham religion of Mormonism

Your ignorance both of the 16th and the 21st century is stunning. That you would publicly display such ignorance is breathtaking.

Are you willing to say that you place your faith in the Council of Trent which was written by junior high students-the same level of academia as Luther?

Actually the Vatican is more closely aligned to Mormonism. Luther advocated Sola Scriptura-scripture alone. Mormonism and the Catholic Church place their faith in the scripture plus other man-made writings.
