Massive logic FAIL from Martin Luther. The first book of what constitutes the New Testament wasn't even written until a good 10 years after the ascension. Belief was first handed down through the ORAL tradition of the apostles. Who had the authority to decide what should be considered scripture? There were a lot of books circulating, and even read in church, that did NOT make the cut, such as Shepherd of Hermas. [hint it wasn't Martin Luther who decided what constituted the NT, though he tried to knock out James, because he didn't like what it said about faith AND good works.] The belief in "scripture alone" is in fact, contrary to scripture. 2 Thessalonians 2:15 -- "therefore, brothers, stand firm and hold to the traditions which you were taught, EITHER by an oral statement or by a letter of ours." so the graphic is far from impressive.

Martin Luther, the courageous apostle of the "Gospel" that everyone has erred, everyone is wrong, except for him. How does he know that? Why, "Dr. Martin Luther will have it so!" ... that's why!
