Reformation Anniversary

"As soon as the coin in the coffer rings; the soul in purgatory will spring"~Friar Tetzel~Salesman for the Pope 1517 He knew indulgences and such were corrupt the church just out to make an unholy buck he loved his poor parishioners a bunch he had to do something this unknown monk, Not being able to take anymore he nailed his 95 theses to the Wittenburg church door arrested he stood firmly for all his beliefs his friends eventually stealing him in the night like thieves, While in hiding he translated the Latin Bible into German that way his people could read and then learn from instead of just digesting what all the priests had to say they read and interperted for themselves without delay, Of course religious tension and fighting ensued but because of Luther his people were not as confused the German scriptures giving them new light instead of the churches teachings and their indulgent lies, Martyrs before and after Luther lending him a helping hand all murdered because they took a "heretical" brave stand many burned at the stake the pope declaring they were damned while Protestantism swept like wildfire throughout the German land. 10-31-17
