One would think that Martin Luther held The Bible to be the final authority in religious matters, but his actions prove otherwise. If you read Martin Luther, you soon realize that he regarded himself as the final authority, above the Bible -which he repeatedly proved by editing the Bible to agree with himself, above the Bishops and the Pope, which he also said openly, and against the entire of Christian history, including the Fathers, which he also said.
