Martin Luther couldn’t keep his promise of chastity and edited the Bible to suit his own weakness. Began the nonsense of easy salvation. Jesus said the gate to Heaven is “narrow” and warned few find it. Said not everyone who said to Him “Lord, Lord” would enter the Kingdom of Heaven, demolishing the idea of certain salvation by mouthed formula.
“If a godly person is barely saved, where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?” -1 Peter 4:18
Luther’s errors have resulted in all the nonsense we see today. Catholics and Christians almost universally using abortifacient contraceptives. Catholics and Christians having abortions and justifying it. Divorce, multiple marriages, fornication, lustful thoughts no big deal because one is “saved”, porn addiction, IVF, freezing eggs, etc. How many times do the Scriptures tell Christians not to deceive themselves with rationalizations of their sins?
His vow was based on misinformation. The Church lied to him. Peter was married. There was no commandment to be celibate. There should be no coercion. For ML to continue his work as a priesthood that he felt called to, a man made requirement was burdened on him. Therefore the vow was nullified because it was based on lies.
