Martin Luther was an Augustinian friar in the early 16th century who had extreme emotional problems with his father. In fright during a severe thunderstorm, he promised God that he would enter the religious life if He spared his life. Luther lived and entered the Augustinian Order. He became a teacher of theology, we are told, but still had problems with God, whom he had transferred his feelings of an overbearing father from his father to God. Martin, despite severe penances and other unhealthy practices never felt worthy. He did, at one time, list 95 Theses, which he wanted to discuss, we still have them, you may view them at the link below. Most of them, however, are actually Catholic doctrine which goes to show how poorly educated and formed Martin Luther was. Finally, after having a bright idea one day while sitting in the Friary's outhouse, Martin Luther left the Order without seeking permission and started his own Church based on "faith alone". As this is found in only one place in The Bible, in the book of James: "You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone." (RSV James 2:24) Martin Luther wrote his own Bible throwing out the book of James and insert the word "alone" into Romans:
.
from the website Beggars All: Reformation and Apologetics:
"Martin Luther ADDED words to the Bible that were not there. When he was confronted with this sin of adding to the Bible he replied: "Because Dr. Martin Luther will have it so!" This man was one ego-maniac with delusions of popehood."
"Romans 3:28 states, "Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith apart from the deeds of the law" (NKJV). Martin Luther, in his German translation of the Bible, specifically added the word "allein" (English 'alone') to Romans 3:28-a word that is not in the original Greek. Martin Luther reportedly said, "You tell me what a great fuss the Papists are making because the word alone in not in the text of Paul...say right out to him: 'Dr. Martin Luther will have it so,'...I will have it so, and I order it to be so, and my will is reason enough. I know very well that the word 'alone' is not in the Latin or the Greek text" (Stoddard J. Rebuilding a Lost Faith. 1922, pp. 101-102; see also Luther M. Amic. Discussion, 1, 127). This passage strongly suggests that Martin Luther viewed his opinions, and not the actual Bible as the primary authority--a concept which this author will name prima Luther."
What else can I help you with?
Why did Martin Luther and his supporters want to change the Catholic church?
Basically because the Church was asking them to change their lives to conform to Christ's high moral standards. Martin Luther did not wish to do this, and when the Church wouldn't change, he left and founded his own "church". His "supporters" who were mostly the princes what is now northern Germany liked the idea of not sending tax revenue to Rome, so they got on board with a Church tailored to their individual wants.

How do you bring about change in the church?
AnswerYou need to have a clear understanding of what change you wish to bring about, and how broad that change should be. Do you want to change only your own local church, perhaps by replacing the minister, or by changing his or her ministry? Do you want to change the format, governance or teachings of your entire denomination? Or do you, like Martin Luther, want to change the direction or teachings of Christianity?Sometimes it is just a matter of getting elected to your church board, or to the synod if it has a place for lay people. You can lobby members of your congregation or higher authority, as appropriate.
