Agree

Luther could have solved his problems by going to his superiors. rather than being a rebel.

I have known you in the past to be a reasonable and honest person. I have been reading the Letters of Luther located at http://beggarsallreformation.blogspot.com/2005/10/letters-of-martin-luther.html lately, and it may surprise some people unfamiliar with the history of Martin Luther that he most certainly DID go to his superiors and had no intention of being a "rebel". He tried for YEARS to do so. Sadly, it was the politics of his day added to the stubbornness, duplicity and depravity of many that prevented a resolution to the concerns he brought up. I recommend anyone interested in this period of time and the results that play out even in our time to read Luther's letters. I just may change a few minds.
