Have we ever heard of anyone making merchandise of the people before?

Certainly. Watch some fund raising tactics of certain so-called health and wealth preachers. And you have the business of indulgences Luther protested.

Yep, I am not into the televangelists much either. I think many of them are in it for the money. And another thing. My opinion is that Martin Luther would be spinning in his grave if he knew some people would take his name and make a denomination out of it. Somehow, I do not think that is something he wanted.
