Do You Think The Reformation Was Necessary?

[JonNC]

Well that makes sense

I have a friend who actually found and bought a “Luther Theology” book which was written by himself and translated later and compiled to this book.

No offense to Lutherans or anything but in it, Luther is very harsh to the Mother Church and actually contradicts himself and even contradicts the teachings that his followers hold to.

Oh, indeed he was harsh to the Catholic Church, though I suspect he was even more harsh to the sacramentarians. As someone born about mid-way through the 20th century, I find the lack of charity in the 16th century, on both sides, to be very uncomfortable.

One should not be surprised that not everything Luther said, wrote, taught is accepted by those of us in the Church who are known as Lutherans. He was, after all, a man.

One whose teachings some people follow as if he were something more than that, though, all the while rejecting the teachings of many men whom he was not worthy of untying the shoelaces. That is indeed surprising.
