Let me put it another way. I get tired of reading cut and paste articles from Wikipedia I also never put down Luther. He was a good man who wanted changes made in the Church and they were made. He never wanted the Church to break apart. He always said the authority for the Church was Rome. He always believed in the “real presence” at the Eucharist. He would have never wanted a religion called Lutheran and most certainly would never wanted 35,000 religious demoninations, with no central authority, setting their doctrine by a show of hands instead of the word of God. Luther weeps at what PROTESTants have done to God’s Pilgrim Church on Earth. I’ve always wondered what are they still protesting 600 years after the reformation.

If I post certain paragraphs that help explain a point I am trying to make, I make sure to cite the source and not pretend the words are all my own. That's the rule here.

Your version of what Martin Luther did or did not think or do doesn't comport with the truth. Many of the points you make don't match the truth. It will probably be a huge waste of my time to prove your fallacies here point by point since you have already indicated you won't read them. Some people get comfortable in their ignorance and no amount of proof will budge them. I'm not here to defend Martin Luther. The truth of the gospel is clearly revealed in sacred Scripture. The Holy Spirit is in the world to convict it of sin, righteousness and judgment. For those who have been given eyes to see, it WILL be plain to see.

“The truth of the gospel is clearly revealed in sacred Scripture”

Who compiled and safeguarded that sacred scripture? For the first 1,500 years after Christ’s death there were only Catholic Christians. Without the Catholic Church there would be no Bible. No Jesus Christ. No nothing. It’s about time that protestants start accepting the fact that the One True Church is the Catholic Church. I am not saying that other Christians can’t make it to heaven, but the easiest way is to follow the faith instituted by Christ himself, for only it has the fullness of the faith.

“We know that the Catholic Church is the one true Church established by Christ because it alone has the marks of the true Church..... The chief marks of the Church are four: It is one, holy, catholic or universal, and apostolic”.
