Who must defend Luther? ...
Why do you believe that Luther is the foundation of the Reformation?
No one here follows Luther. Luther is just a man.

If not, it should be easy for you to confess " I renounce Martin Luther, and all his evil works."

Although there had been significant earlier attempts to reform the Roman Catholic Church before Luther — such as those of Jan Hus, Peter Waldo, and John Wycliffe — it is Martin Luther who is widely acknowledged to have started the Reformation with his 1517 work The Ninety-Five Theses.

If not, it should be easy for you to confess " I renounce Martin Luther, and all his evil works."

Why should I renounce what I am not joined to?

Shall I also renounce the Roman church and all her evil works (which are endless)?
Shall I renounce the pope of Rome and all his evil works (which span centuries)?

Yes, I guess I shall:

I hereby renounce every evil work of man, every religion, sect, order, and denomination, and will adhere to none of them.
I will follow NO man, regardless of power, regardless of popularity, regardless of succession or lineage.

I am a disciple of Yeshua the Messiah, and him alone. I will stand upon the Word of YHWH and I will endeavor to keep his commandments.

YHWH is true and every man is a liar.

There, does that cover it?

What "works" of Luther would you want us to renounce? Luther, as many other men, had parts of what he said and did that were clearly right and needed. Other of his works and deeds not so much. Or is your blanket statement simply a trap?

Luther is a man long dead. His anti-semitism didn't survive to the founding documents of the denom named by Catholics for his followers. 'Confess'? Please try another tact DQ.
