you would not have the Bible in you hands.

I'm amazed at your lack of knowing The ALMIGHTY God, His Word and how He tells us HE PRESERVES HIS WORD. No man gave it to me - it's really PRIDE to say that.

God arranged what needed to be done and Luther fulfilled his destiny. You actually think we wouldn't have God's Word if it weren't for man? You think God was biting his nails and saying gee, I hope My Words get in my peoples hands. LOL! He said He preserves His Word and HE DID! He created the universe but He left Holy Spirit Inspired Word for man to pass down by word of mouth. LOL!!! He couldn't figure out a way to do it and He trusted man so much. LOL! You might want to sprinkle some common sense on those man made teachings and then get to KNOW the Word and you'll see what you are saying is wrong, wrong, wrong.

And Our Lord said that he would be with us always, even in the flesh, His glorified flesh

Wrong, again. He sent His Spirit. Going around repeating man made teachings show man can lead you where ever they want. Nothing conservative about that.

It's ALL about Jesus, The Word.

The God is one and Luther is his prophet, is that what you are saying? Might as well bring Gutenberg into the process. Before the invention of the printing press, there was no way that enough Bibles could have been produced to get them into the hands of the people. You can say that the timing was providential. Still, it still required the people to be tutored.

You say by the Holy Spirit, and in that I agree with you, as does the pope, meditation on the Bible is unlike the reading of any other book. Unfortunately, Luther and the Reformers did not leave matters to the individuals but like Catholics employed the power of the state to compel believers, if only because of the disorder that followed the overthrown of the existing religious authority. You speak of heresy: well heresies multiplied during the reformation.
