Martin Luther King
|
|
|
... Martin Luthers challenge of the Catholic authorities, though quite controversial even to this day, is absolutely supported by the scriptures. The Bible supports not only the doctrinal points Luther is fighting for, but the manner in which he attempted to bring about this reformation of the Church. ...
As stated in his 95 Theses, Martin Luthers primary doctrinal dispute is the matter of indulgences, which were being sold by the church as a means of obtaining remission for sins. Luther argues that "the pope himself cannot remit guilt, but only declare and confirm that it has been remitted by God" (6) and that "any Christian whatsoever, who is truly repentant, enjoys plenary remission from penalty and guilt, and this is given him without letters of indulgence" (36). Luther goes on to say that "it is vain to rely on salvation by letters of indulgence, even if… the pope himself were to pledge his own soul for their validity" (52).
