>(Galatians 1:9): As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! Luther preached a different gospel than the one the Galatians had accepted, which is the same gospel the Church Christ established had been preaching for 1500 years.
>(Romans 16:17): I urge you, brothers and sisters, to watch out for those who cause divisions and put obstacles in your way that are contrary to the teaching you have learned. Keep away from them. Luther caused divisions, he rebelled against the Church of Christ and started preaching the heresy of Protestantism which he built on false man-made teachings that no Christian had believed up until he came along. He wrote his own Bible and took 7 books out of its Old Testament, not to mention that he also wanted to remove the epistle of James. Thanks to Luther, today there are 30000 Protestant denominations that can't agree with each other on issues as basic as baptism, predestination, salvation, communion, etc.
>(Matthew 18:15-17): If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over. But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the Church; and if they refuse to listen even to the Church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector. Luther refused to listen to the Church and chose his personal interpretation of Scripture and his man-made doctrines.
Christ gave us a Church, and only the Church has the authority to interpret the Bible, an infallible book that needs an infallible interpreter. In this particular case, the interpreter was the one that put together the book, to begin with.
If he is, so is ever pope after indulgences were invented to allow the rich to feel better and the catholic church to get disgustingly rich while the peasants died of starvation. Fuck catholics

If you want the OG church you won’t find it in Rome. Why are you larping?
Luther was right on the Papacy but wrong on the whole "sin boldly" and taking books out of the Bible.

These threads are started by judeo-atheists who want to see protestant and catholics fight.
As in this verse, peter tried to rebuke someone who was christian, but would not join "his" church, and wanted to stay independent. Christ rebuked peter and John harshly, making it clear that a believer and follower of Christ's doesn't have to be a part of Peters group to have salvation through Christ.
I believe everything that happened with the church is God's will so the early church dying as martyrs was God's will, the Catholics spreading ideology by the sword was God's will, and the Reformation later on was God's will. God uses whatever means necessary to spread the message.

It was a heresy allowed in the Catholic church so that the reformation could happen later. The reason the Catholic church was allowed to be so big was because it was supposed to destroy the Gnostics and other competing sects by God's will and compile an accurate Bible and encourage works through God's will. It spread by the sword because of God's will. Prayers to Mary and the saints were allowed as corruptions and the Papacy allowed so we could start the reformation right after the Catholics spread faith by the sword. God is very intelligent and has a plan.

Mary is to be honored and revered but not prayed to
Adam Reed
Sure he could use Satan worshipers to do it even. That doesn't mean we should join them.
Nicholas Wilson
I feel like the masons came after Luther. The Scots probably chose that since they're mostly protestant.

I'm not because I disagree with the Papacy and praying to Mary and saints. I think the Pope being infallible is evil. But I agree with their Bible, their ideas of heaven and hell, the Nicene creed, and a lot of the old academics they had.

Indulgences are a proper teaching. Paid indulgences are not. Learn history and logic.
