Martin didn’t get everything right. Remember, he still had to renew his mind after all that deceptive teaching he had for years. And why idolize him? He was a servant of The Lord like Abraham, Moses, Esther, David, Joseph, John The Baptist, Peter, Paul and the list goes on who followed the calling on their life. Some get greater callings, some lesser - but that’s in our eyes only. Each and every one is important for God’s will to be accomplished. For one man is not different from another before God - God is no respecter of persons. And that’s the way it should be for us, also. I do find it awesome how one person can make a huge difference in whatever their calling - and that’s because they are being led by God to make that difference. And we all have our own unique calling.
I agree, Why did I idolize Martin in the past? In my case it may have been pride. It got so bad for me, I was a teenager BTW, I thought the only people saved had to belong to my local church. We had all the truth! LOL.
BTW for discussion of fruit by their actions, which person better modeled broken in Spirit surrendered faith. Mother Teresa or Martin Luther
INDEED.
