Beware of the Leaven of Martin Luther
Though Martin Luther courageously stood against corruption within the Catholic Church, the course which Luther took after his excommunication from it is why he did not become a reliable teacher who ought to be followed. The Reformation movement which Luther began became its own form of deception which did not adequately remedy the deception of the Catholic Church.
The leaders of the Reformation (Martin Luther being no exception at all) and the churches it produced did not return to the authority of the Bible as the leaders of the Reformation claimed they were doing.
It is no wonder that the book which literally, directly rebukes the concept of justification by faith alone (The Book of James) is a book which Luther himself called “an epistle of straw.” Authentic faith in Christ is living and inseparable from how one walks. It is all the more amazing that Luther didn’t see James as compatible with Paul’s epistles since the very verse that Luther says opened his eyes was Romans 1:17 where the phrase “The just shall live by faith” is seen. It seems that Luther also, like the Catholics whom he debated with, didn’t acknowledge that the ritualism of the Catholic Church doesn’t define the works which faith in Christ ought to be exercised by doing. Just read the Book of James to see that James was not prescribing Catholic rituals.
Luther not only practiced, but even vehemently defended the practice of infant baptism- even to the point of arguing that a person having faith is not necessary for them to be baptized properly. The Bible rather teaches that baptism is for those with faith in Christ, that faith in Christ is obedient, that faith requires much understanding to exercise, and faith which qualifies for baptism is evident and discernible.
Much, much more could be said yet for now also especially note that Reformed churches have murdered true Christians and many others as the Catholic Church has done. Anyone who wants the State to take vengeance on others due to their religious beliefs is actually following in the steps of Reformers such as Calvin, Zwingli, and Luther who never broke from Augustine and the Roman Catholic Church in that way either. Luther even advocated the systematic government persecution of a particular group which some who admire him might be shocked to learn of. Luther indeed advocated not letting Jews have safe travel and he advocated burning down their synagogues.
We criticize Jews who reject Jesus Christ frequently- especially those who control the media, the international banking cartel, and Zionist Jews (along with their Zionist Christian supporters, justifiers, and enablers). We also rebuke the nation of Israel for its theft of land, its murders, and its overall oppression of the Palestinians. It should be clearly understood that in none of this are we advocating that anyone take vigilante vengeance against Jews (nor against anyone at all) nor are we advocating systematic government persecu
