Martin Luther (November 10, 1483 – February 18, 1546) was the first and most prominent leader of a reform movement in sixteenth century Christianity, subsequently known as the Protestant Reformation. Essentially, Luther sought to recover core New Testament teachings that he claimed had been obscured by corruption and worldly traditions of medieval Catholicism.
2.What is the difference between Catholics and Protestants?
(a) the issue of the sufficiency and authority of Scripture.
-Protestants believe that the Bible alone is the source of God’s special revelation to mankind and teaches us all that is necessary for our salvation from sin.
-Catholics reject the doctrine of sola scriptura and do not believe that the Bible alone is sufficient. They believe that both the Bible and sacred Roman Catholic tradition are equally binding upon the Christian.
(b)over the office and authority of the Pope.
-Protestants believe that the Bible teaches God sent the Holy Spirit to indwell all born-again believers, enabling all believers to understand the message of the Bible.
-Catholicism teaches that only the Catholic Church can properly interpret the Bible,
(c)how one is saved
-Catholics teach that the Christian must rely on faith plus “meritorious works” in order to be saved.
-Protestants believe that, on the basis of faith in Christ alone, believers are justified by God, as all their sins are paid for by Christ on the cross and His righteousness is imputed to them.
(d)what happens after death
- Catholic Encyclopedia is a “place or condition of temporal punishment for those who, departing this life in God’s grace, are not entirely free from venial faults,
- Protestants believe that because we are justified by faith in Christ alone and that Christ’s righteousness is imputed to us—when we die, we will go straight to heaven to be in the presence of the Lord.
