Blessed Reformation Day!!
Today I am thankful for men like Martin Luther, John Calvin, John, Huss, John Wycliffe, and others, who stood up for the Bible so many years ago. On this day, October 31st, in 1517, Martin Luther wrote the 95 Theses.
This letter was intended not to confront the Catholic Church, just to object to some of their practices, mainly the selling of indulgences. Luther objected to this practice, as the granting of forgiveness is God's alone, not man's. The Catholic church responded with a Counter Reformation, led by the Jesuit order, stating that Luther was the one in error. Sadly, warfare broke out.
I will always declare Sola Scriptura!
If you haven't researched the Protestant Reformation, I highly recommend that you do. If you don't know where the protestant faith came from, then how do you know what you are protesting?
