Did Luther not add words Alone to his altered Bible to justify his new Theology?
Yes, the meaning however was not changed? Whenever there is a translation words are added and removed to make the passage understandable in the vernacular because Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic cannot be translated word for word and account for idioms or phrases that are embodied in a single word. That passage that you call into question is Romans 3:28 whether it reads “justified by faith without the deeds of the law” or justified by faith alone without the deeds of the law” the passage conveys the same meaning…Faith is what justifies, not works.
Did Luther not say the following about the Apostle St. James "Therefore St James’ epistle is really an epistle of straw, compared to these others, for it has nothing of the nature of the Gospel about it. (Luther’s Works 35, 362)@
Yes, he did say that…but he also translated it and wrote an entire commentary to clarify what was meant and often quotes James in other theological writings. As you may or may not be aware, the Council of Nicea formalized the canon and not all books were unanimously adopted (antilegomena), James was one of those books. Luther merely assigns more weight to those books that were unanimous (homolegoumena) that those that were not.
Aside from the fact that Luther was a Heretical Catholic Monk, what authority did he have to add words, remove books & re-arrange the bible?
That’s your opinion…but I’m sure you find the selling of indulgences to pay off the exorbitant usury that Leo had to pay the bankers who funded Peter’s Basilica to be A OK? Luther preserved the church that your corrupt and anti-Christ popes were doing their best to destroy.
Did he commit some great miracle work like split the Red Sea?
No, but he was an instrument of God used to stand up against a corrupt and evil infection within the church. Someday you may come to realize that the immense courage that Luther displayed in the face of certain death, and God rescued him. Probably the most consequential figure in the last 1,500 years.
The Counter-reformation addressed the corruption that had occured of indulgences. You know that common argument about indulgences is what gets people panties in a bunch but it is no excuse to divide the Church & break away into 45,000 Protestant denominations.
The Protestant Reformation was a looting operation. It reminds me of our current times; how BLM uses "Slavery" as a pretext to undermind society & justify reperations & shifting economic & social power away from whites to blacks. Western Civ. Been under a continuous state of revolution & I do believe it all does stem from Martin Luthers rebellion; the NWO made significant headway after Europe tore itself apart during the religious wars that proceeded Luthers rebellion.
Guess what? Jews are behind the BLM movement & Jews were behind the Reformation; is it any wonder that Luther removed the seven Books that Jews wanted gone? Is it any wonder that he was influenced by the Kabbalah? After Luther altered the bible & Jews still did not convert, he proceeds to write the book "the Jews and their lies" and talks openly about wanting them dead. What a psychopath!
Luther made the same mistake Mohammed made. He was certain that the Jews would support him and even become Lutherans. He had shaken the Church to its core, withstood excommunication and stood up to the Holy Roman Emperor. He thought he was so special that the Jews would convert.
His early letters in the 1520s regarding the Jews are extremely positive. He said, for instance, that the Jews were the only ones who properly saw the ills of the Church. It’s no wonder that they rejected the Pope and never became Catholics.
However, he was not even rebuffed – he was ignored. The Jews in Germany were not interested in becoming Protestants or getting drawn into the vortex of forces warring in Europe. Furthermore, a much more radical element within Protestantism arose, the Anabaptists. They said the problem with Luther was that he was not Protestant enough!
This type of dynamic happens in all revolutions: the next generation is more radical, making the previous generation look moderate. Eventually, the revolution runs its course and the radicals are seen for what they are. The Anabaptists believed that one had to be baptized again as an adult. Some became absolute pacifists. It’s from them that the Amish, Mennonites, Quakers, Shakers and Puritans evolved. To them, Luther was little more than a wayward Catholic disguised as a Protestant.
"Martin Luther broke his vows, pulled a nun out of the cloister took her as his wife and founded Protestantism. Henry VIII, King of England was weary of Catherine of Aragon and wanted Anne Boleyn… After that he changed wives as though they were gloves and so the depraved monarch founded the Anglican Church… those are the origins of defection from Christ’s Church!... Investigate the truth…come to know the true religion of Christ and live in accordance with it."
More lies and half-truths. You know, bearing false witness is a sin right? You’re either extremely ignorant of true history or intentionally twisting history to fit your narrative…must be a Jesuit. Repent.
Ad hominem attacks are not an argument. You can place your salvation on flawed man like Luther & I will respect your freewill to do so but I would advise against it.
I find it interesting that his crest resembles the crest of the Gnostic secret society known as the Rosecrutians.

I dont believe that is a coincidence. The Rosicrucian Manifestos were written during the Protestant Reformation in Germany, and have an underlying theme of reform. In 1520, Martin Luther had a seal made with a five-petaled white rose encapsulating a heart, with a simple cross in the centre.
Catholics had been at war with secret societies centuries prior to the Protestant revolution; logic would conclude that the "reformation" was an orchastrated revolution to weaken Christian society.
Sorry man, I hope you comform yourself to the truth & come to allign yourself with it. There are now 45,000 Prot Churches that have popped up since Luther's revolt... they can't all be right.
This is so rich…everything you write is laden with ad hominem attacks, logical falsifies and conclusions drawn from incomplete information. You know exactly what are doing and it’s evil. Lutherans do not place their faith in Luther…Luther didn’t place his faith in Luther, he was a flawed man firmly rooted in Christ. We don’t follow Luther, we follow the objective truth of God’s Word, and the Lutheran Confessions are the right interpretation. Luther didn’t create 45,000 denominations, Leo did by refusing to hear out a monk who happened to be correct. Nothing you have said is compelling, but you are the victim of the anti-Christ lies… I have nothing else to say.
