Martin
Luther
1483 -
1546
Eisleben,
Saxony, Germany
Luther was a Catholic priest, a monk
of the
Augustinian Order. He was a
disobedient priest
who abandoned his priestly vows and
married.
His fellow reformers described him as “absolutely
furious,” that he impugned the known
truth against
the reclamations of his own
conscience; that he
was puffed up with pride and
arrogance, and
seduced by Satan.
Of himself, Luther said that when he became a
reformer, his heart was a prey to the
most shameful
passions which he could not
resist.
It must be asked whether this is the
lifestyle of
a person God would ask to reform His
Church. His
teachings were highly heretical and in
error.
