Silly Martin Luther, how dare he question the indulgences!!!

try reading his 95 theses, and determine which ones you will argue against.

I would enjoy being schooled on the RC biblical response to item 27, which refutes the teaching that "...the soul flies out of the purgatory immediately the money clinks in the bottom of the chest."

Anyone, any time, can question whatever they desire...however, there is a right way and a wrong way....if he wanted to "reform" the church, he should have done it from within...ask for councils, approach leaders who were in charge...he didn't, instead he went outside the church and decided that he could do it better himself....he couldn't.

Most of the 95 "thesis" were complaints about everyday goings on in the church....were many of them wrong, absolutely, but you don't correct a situation by going outside the walls......When the U.S. revolted against England, that's exactly what they did....they weren't trying to reform England, they were, in effect, revolting and establishing a completely new system .....That's the mistake that Luther made....he revolted.
