Was Martin Luther history's greatest monster?

Post by Cornfed »

Suppose we agree that the Roman Church was corrupt beyond all hope. The obvious thing would have been to exhort people to form a New Testament Church. Instead Luther resorted to a kind of apostasy which lacked the courage of its lack of conviction. If you are going to start a religion based on the propositions that religious rituals are all bullshit, no-one has any authority, average morons can decide for themselves and it doesn't matter what you do because it is all in your head, then that is pretty much game over right there. You had people like Calvin keeping things going by papering over the cracks, but in order to do that they had to add more layers of absurdity. Ultimately it just paved the way for libtardism, Talmudist and Satanism, when surely it didn't have to be that way.

It's quite sad turn of events. Protestantism had good intentions to combat the corrupt Catholic church, but ended up causing the 30 year war which 4 to 12 million died, and end up being just as hypocritical and corrupt as their catholic counterparts in a different form and ways.
Now churches are turning to homosexuality, satanism, and all kinds of Jewish, Talmud social engineering garbage. I have seen it in my very own eyes.

The Presbyterian council or congregation wanted to my church pastor to accept homosexuals into his church. The pastor said no and the Congregation kicked out both the pastor and his followers. Fortunately, he managed to found a new church with all his followers intact.

I think Martin Luther had good intentions but he didn’t realize how badly people needed the stability and structure of the church. He really would have been better off criticizing its excesses and fixing it from within rather then encouraging people to abandon it entirely.

What are your objections to Luther in relation to a New Testament church.

'New Testament church' does not hate blacks, since some blacks are New Testament Christians, and we are to love our neighbors. Nor does it hate Jews, since Jesus is Jewish and so were the apostles.

There was also the radical Reformation going on around that time.

Should be obvious from the OP.

If blacks are your neighbors, you should move. Ask any real estate salesman.
