“As Catholics we are taught that while reading the Bible, we can have “personal revelations”. IOW, God can speak to us, directly through the words of the Bible and speak to us personally in a time of need or just to sustain us, but that that precise interpretation of the Word is meant for us a private conversation with God.”
That’s exactly what Martin Luther did! He read “The just shall live by faith” and dumped the mountain of human inventions of Catholicism.
Yeah, I know, Martin Luther thought he was smarter than Jesus, the Holy Spirit and the Apostles and all the scholars up to that day. He was following the lead of Adam and Eve and even Lucifer, he wanted to be like God and the arbiter of faith, all alone, by himself. He wanted to ignore 1500 years of faith and create something new and more like himself.
