Yeah, right...for one thousand six hundred years Christ ignored His church....let her fall into apostasy and luckily Luther (a Catholic) came along to save the eternal church.....how lucky can we get??? and by the way, the Bible that you find comfort in was brought to you through the courtesy of the Roman Catholic Church....even if you are reading the EDITED ..KJV!
Oh tery; it happened a LOT earlier than THAT!!!
Any one else see a TREND here?
NO, Christ new all along who is called out were. In spite of the apostate Catholic Church who tried to replace that ekklesia Christ protected His called out from the atrocities of that false religion and when technology was in place to supply His word to all people inspired some to rise up and avail themselves of that technology to enable the light to shine and bring His word to "all the world" in spite of the efforts of the usurper to confine it.
Nonsense. There were heroes in the church all along. From Polycarp thru Augustine thru Aquinas. Luther was a continuation of the message that the Bible being the Word of God contains the truth of Christ's salavation.
