Thank God for using poor, flawed Saint Luther to restore the message of eternal life through the grace of God!

He still lives rent free in the heads of FRomans!

“The brilliant German monk never intended to start his own Church”

I was told many years ago that neither did Siddhartha Gautama.

Thank God for using poor, flawed Saint Luther to restore the message of eternal life through the grace of God!

From whom would that message have emanated? He lamented that his Revolt had produced “as many sects and creeds as there are heads.”

From the article:

“Neither Luther nor any of the other Protestant reformers sought or envisioned anything like modern individual freedom. Nor did the Protestant Reformation as such lead to it. What led to it were the more-than-religious conflicts between magisterial Protestants and Catholics in the Reformation era, which created a situation that led indirectly, unintentionally and eventually to the making of a 21st-century world that nearly all committed Christians of the Reformation era would have deplored.”

The world we now inhabit is, in a sense, the world we deserve. To borrow from Scripture: the sins of the fathers are visited upon the children. The Reformation began with sincere questions of truth, belief and practice. It foundered on human obstinacy and violence on all sides, bringing forth an entirely new and drastically different consciousness.

Proving that the title for the OP is horribly wrong. The writer even admits it. Luther didn't "forge" the world of the Christian faith we have today and the only horror today that he might feel is the same kind ALL Christians have when the gospel is perverted and corrupted by obstinate and depraved men - it's never stopped.
