It’s not a simple minded question....it’s a
very simple question......that you have yet to answer....
If you are God’s chosen to keep his word......why did he wait 1500 years to inspire Luther?
Did all those who thought they were previously “christian” all go to hell before martin luther showed up?
Did God condemn millions to hell because he wanted to wait for you to enlighten the rest of us 1500 years after christ died?

2 Timothy 1:

Ephesians 6:
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: 18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
