Luther & The Reformation

It is good to be reminded of the history of the Christian Church and the people that God used in the past who had a great influence on the Church and the World.

We owe a lot to people who were called the Reformers as many of them risked their lives and even lost their lives in standing for the truth.

Reformers were people that resisted the unbiblical practices of the Roman Catholic Church.

Catholicism presents itself to the world as being the only true Church yet it is a cleaver counterfeit incorporating elements from ancient Babylonian worship as well as Christianity and Judaism.

One of the most famous Reformers of the 1500's was Martin Luther.

Luther was a Catholic Priest who was deeply concerned in regard to the corruption of his own Church.

Reformation Sunday is held on the last Sunday in October because on October 31st 1517 Martin Luther nailed an important document called his (95 Theses) to the door of a Church in Wittenberg in Germany.

The Reformers had a great impact in exposing unbiblical errors but warnings against false doctrines happened well before the Reformers even existed.

The Lord Jesus warned of false prophets!
Matt 7:15 KJV Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Paul warned of false teachers entering the Church and he warned of false teachers that would arise from within the Church.

Acts 20:29 For I know this, that after my departing shall grievous wolves enter in among you, not sparing the flock. 30 Also of your own selves shall men arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away disciples after them.
