Exactly. Liberalism was born with Luther.
Wrong. The first accounting of the liberal mind was back in Genesis after the garden party... The man Adam answer His Heavenly Father with the following...
7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons. 8 And they heard the voice of the LORD God walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. 9 And the LORD God called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? 10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. 11 And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
First recorded case of liberalism.
12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

Long before Luther, Irenaeus grumbled about departing from “The Teaching” (Torah).
