What did Martin Luther the monk do?

Answer 1

Martin Luther (1483-1546) challenged the excesses of the Roman Catholic Church, which he saw as corruption of the faith. His writings began the Reformation and opened the way for other Protestant denominations.

Answer 2

He did what he did because he felt that someting was wrong with the Catholic church and what they were teaching people so he decided to protest. He ended up developing the Protestant religion. He got the name Protestant from 'protest'

.

AnswerMartin Luther grievances were mainly with the Catholic Church's stand on preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ and calling him to repent and give up his sin. (Mark 1:15, John 8:11) M. Luther did not want to give up his sins, so he made up an entirely new religion in which he could go and sin all he wanted and God would forgive him. To do this, he had to throw numerous books out of the Bible, although other protestants put the books back in the New Testament, they still don't have them in the Old Testament. All of the Christian doctrines having to do with sin, overcoming sin, and overcoming the effects of sin: all of them had to be jettisoned from M. Luther's religion. The books that he could not throw out, such as the letters of St. Paul, he edited in an effort to make them say what he wanted. M. Luther dreamed up his own religion out of thin air to suit himself, as Christianity was too hard for him to abide, so he made up his own religion which he, himself, said that God would save him no matter how much he sinned because he had made up his mind to have it so. Talk about the power of positive thinking! To try and bolster his position, he threw books out of the Old Testament and tried to throw books out of the New Testament as well. In other words, he couldn't abide the Church's teaching, so he based his version of Christianity on the Bible alone, then adjusted the Bible to agree with himself:

.

In one incident he translated Romans 8:28 as "We hold that man is justified without works of the law by faith alone." His answer to Emser's exposition of his perversion of the text was: "If your P*pist annoys you with the word [alone], tell him straightway: Dr. Martin Luther will have it so: P*pist and ass are one and the same thing. Whoever will not have my translation, let him give it the go-by: the devil's thanks to him who censures it without my will and knowledge. Luther will have it so, and he is a doctor above all the doctors in Popedom." (Amic. Discussion, 1, 127). {Please note that the WikiAnswers computer will not allow me to quote Martin Luther's word for Catholics, so I have replaced it with P*pist you have to supply the "a" yourself.}

.

Other reformers at that time did not agree with him on the New Testament and they put those books back in their Bible. The Council of Trent reaffirmed the Church's constant teaching on the Bible and the books it contains. M. Luther's grievances are really too embarrassing to face the light of day for an honest person.

Answer 3

Martin Luther is consider the "founder" of the Protestation Revolution and the Lutheran Church. His actions initiated the break off of certain folks from the Catholic Church into what would become many Protestation Denominations.
Among other things, he stated that "the just shall live by faith." Which is to say that the revealed will of God is where we are to place our faith, and not place it in the edicts, traditions, and pronouncements of men. Contrary to what Martin Luther was told by his church leaders, we are not saved by what we do, but by who we know. If we really do know Jesus, we will be following Him wherever He leads us, into all truth.
