Reformationists Martin Luther & Thomas Muntzer

Martin Luther (1483-1546) changed the course of Western civilization by initiating the Protestant Reformation. Luther taught that salvation is not from good works, but a free gift of God, received only by grace through faith in Jesus as redeemer from sin. His theology challenged the authority of the pope of the Roman Catholic Church by teaching that the Bible is the only source of divinely revealed knowledge.
Thomas Müntzer (1488-1525) was an early Reformation-era German theologian and Anabaptist. He turned against Luther with several anti-Lutheran writings, and became a rebel leader during the Peasants' War. In the battle at Frankenhausen, Müntzer and his farmers were defeated. He was captured, tortured and decapitated.

Rome sought out through the council of niacea that there could be only one denomination which controls global christianity, that is the Vatican today. M Luther & T Muntzer where antagonistic to the opinions of the Roman Catholic Church.

@AndrewMann552 - Luther Campbell?

[AndrewMann552]

@mg196 Without Luther there might never have been an MLK who was a Protestant preacher.

@carjollingo How did he twist the Bible? In fact, thanks to Luther the average person could finally read it for themselves instead of depending on corrupt priests and monks who had turned the church into an empty, political entity that licked the boots of monarchs. And I'm a bigger fan of Muntzer who preached a truly revolutionary message.

luther ironically IS the whore of babylon, as he desecratred, amputated and twisted ti bible to serve his own vision of the world.
