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.
Both Martin Luther and John Calvin were influential figures in the Protestant Reformation, but they had differing views on certain aspects of religious theology. Luther emphasized the concept of justification by faith alone, while Calvin focused on the idea of predestination. Luther believed in the priesthood of all believers, while Calvin emphasized the sovereignty of God. Overall, both men played significant roles in shaping Protestant beliefs, but their specific theological differences set them apart.
