For fifteen centuries, the Church had taught Christianity, excommunicated heretics, and shepherded the Christian faithful throughout life. Martin Luther was an Augustinian friar who was under voluntary obedience to his religious superiors, and voluntary obedience to his Bishop, he was also under religious vows, which he had taken as an adult, after years of reflection, before God in Church. He left his Friary, left his Order, denied his priesthood, denied his religious heritage and led other people out of the Church and opposed the religious authorities and the Holy Father in Rome. His language is not fit to be repeated, Martin Luther was a coarse, irreverent, man who broke all of his vows, publicly ridiculed the authorities, and hid. He then proceeded to make up his own religion from scratch.

∙ 9y agoThe Roman Catholic Church had long been held as original and true faith in Christianity. Since the Catholic church was so powerful, all aspects of political, social and economic life was tied in some way to the Church. Luther's theories opened up the possibility of a different way of worship, and changed everything.

Why did Martin Luther's ideas about interpreting the bible differ form Catholics ideas?
Bottom line? Because Martin Luther started his own church out of nothing, and to give it some semblance of authority, he has to come up with something, so he used the Bible. The only problem with this is that he completely ignored the fact that Jesus Christ never wrote the Bible. Jesus Christ founded a Church and commanded that they go out and convert people. As part of that work, their words were collected by the church and put into a book we now know as the New Testament - as part of her preaching the Gospel of Christ. Obviously, the Bible was never intended to be the complete Christianity, and it even says so! So Martin Luther editedthe Bible to take out the parts he didn't agree with and change the other parts to agree with him. His ideas differed from the Catholic Church since the Catholic Church only teaches the ideas that Jesus gave her, and Martin Luther taught only his own ideas.

What was one of martin main ideas?
Martin Luther had several main ideas. His overriding criticism of the Catholic Church was that it placed too much emphasis on good works as a means to salvation, whereas Luther clearly saw in the Bible that salvation is based on "faith", not "good works." He also questioned the so-called "infallibility" of the Pope, and hence the Pope's authority. People should think about religion and decide about it for themselves.

Although Martin Luther was himself a fierce opponent of popular revolts on a mass scale, several components in his theological teachings and writings were undeniable inspirations to peasant revolutionaries in his day.
