Martin Luther was not a great reformer like the history books teach, but he was a fraud!
Here are some quotes from Luther which shows that he taught the heresy of Once Saved Always Saved:
"Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly for he is victorious over sin, death, and the world. As long as we are here in this world we have to sin. This life is not a dwelling place of righteousness"
"No sin will separate us from the lamb, even though we commit fornication and murder a thousand times a day."
"Whenever the devil harasses you, seek the company of men or drink more, or joke and talk nonsense, or do some other merry thing. Sometimes we must drink more, sport, recreate ourselves, and even sin a little to spite the devil, so that we leave him no place for troubling our consciences with trifles. We are conquered if we try too conscientiously not to sin at all. So when the devil says to you: do not drink, answer him: I will drink, and right freely, just because you tell me not to."
"The imputation of righteousness we need very much, because we are far from perfect. As long as we have this body, sin will dwell in our flesh. Then, too, we sometimes drive away the holy spirit; we fall into sin, like Peter, David, and other holy men. Nevertheless we may always take recourse to this fact, that our sins are covered, and that God will not lay them to our charge. Sin is not held against us for Christ's sake."
"your sin cannot cast you into hell"
"No sin can harm me"
LUTHER WAS AN ANTI-SEMITE
Here are some quite shocking quotes from Luther which show that he was a rabid anti-Semite:
"The Jews deserve to be hanged on gallows, seven times higher than ordinary thieves"
"We ought to take revenge on the Jews and kill them."
"The blind Jews are truly stupid fools"
"Now just behold these miserable, blind, and senseless people."
"eject them forever from this country"
"they are nothing but thieves and robbers"
"What then shall we do with this damned, rejected race of Jews?"
"Such a desperate, thoroughly evil, poisonous, and devilish lot are these Jews"
"They are the real liars and bloodhounds"
"We are at fault for not slaying them."
"I shall give you my sincere advice: first to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them."
"Second, I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed."
"Fifth, I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews."
"Burn down their synagogues, forbid all that I enumerated earlier, force them to work, and deal harshly with them"
"If this does not help we must drive them out like mad dogs"
"If I had to baptize a Jew, I would take him to the river Elbe, hang a stone around his neck and push him over with the words `I baptize thee in the name of Abraham'."
Martin Luther [ was not a Christian man, ] but, instead, he was a brutal man who persecuted the Jews unmercifully.
The word of God calls Martin Luther a liar:
1John 4:20- If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
LUTHER CONDONED THE DEATHS OF A 100,000 PEASANTS
The peasants of Germany revolted in 1525 because of their miserable living conditions and were slaughtered at the behest of Martin Luther!
Here is a quote from Luther that will send chills up your spine:
"They should be knocked to pieces, strangled and stabbed, secretly and openly, by everybody who can do it, just as one must kill a mad dog!"
Are these the words of a Christian and a great reformer? I think not! Luther was an evil man who urged the slaughter of the poor who had revolted. He told people to knock the peasants to pieces and strangle and stab them. 100,000 German peasants were horribly slaughtered in the revolt!
JOHN CALVIN WAS A MURDERER
Not only was the founder of Calvinism, John Calvin, a great deceiver, but he was also a murderer!
Here are John Calvin's own words about Michael Servetus:
"If he (Servetus) comes (to Geneva), I shall never let him go out alive if my authority has weight."
"I hope that the verdict will call for the death penalty."
In Geneva, on October 27, 1553, Michael Servetus was tied to a stake and was burned slowly to death:

Here is what John Calvin had to say about Michael Servetus after he was burned to death:
"Many people have accused me of such ferocious cruelty that (they allege) I would like to kill again the man I have destroyed. Not only am I indifferent to their comments, but I rejoice in the fact that they spit in my face."
"Whoever shall now contend that it is unjust to put heretics and blasphemers to death will knowingly and willingly incur their very guilt."
John Calvin [ was not a �Christian�, ] my friends, but he was an egotistical tyrant and a cold-blooded killer!
How anyone can follow the warped teachings of this deranged monster from the past is beyond belief.
A man named Sebastian Castellio wrote against what Calvin did to Servetus and he made this tremendous statement:
"To kill a man is not to defend a doctrine. It is to kill a man!"
Castellio paid a great price for standing up to Calvin the tyrant. He was hounded and persecuted by John Calvin until his death.
Murderers like John Calvin and Martin Luther are not Christians:
1 John 3:15- ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.
For more on Calvin see Calvinism and The Servetus Murder
In five years, 1542-46, Geneva, with 16,000 inhabitants, had fifty-seven executions and seventy-six banishments. All these sentences were [ sanctioned ] by John Calvin.
Let's take a look at the two so-called great reformers of the protestant reformation:
1. Martin Luther was a false teacher, a racist, a persecutor and a murderer!
2. John Calvin was a false teacher, a deranged tyrant, a persecutor and a murderer!
The Protestant Reformation was a farce!
THE PROTESTANT `REFORMERS' PERSECUTED, TORTURED AND SLAUGHTERED THE ANABAPTISTS
Link to true accounts of how the Anabaptists were tortured and murdered at the hands of the Protestants:
"The Martyrs Mirror"

Do Christians persecute, torture and murder other human beings? Of course they don't! The Protestant Reformers were not Christians, but they were bloody evil men.
*** The Truth is NOT an Opinion�Why would Anyone want to Follow ANY man�s doctrine or ways instead of Christ Jesus ???�Thank you and Praise you Father for your Word�Acts 11:26 �And when he had found him, he brought him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a whole year they assembled themselves with the church, and taught much people. [ And the disciples were called [ Christians ] first in Antioch.��notice in God�s Word�it doesn�t say Lutheran or Calvinist or Reformer or Anabaptist or Catholic or�etc�etc�etc�etc�xo
You continue to think it is Humorous that others have to verify just whom it is that forms your opinions and the Veracity of your Claims.
It is a simple thing to do�to cite (when possible) either Scripture or Book or website or from wherever you �gleamed� your �pearls�. This not only allows others to Read what you have read�but to Verify that what you say is Credible.
It is a Courtesy that is Extended to those on this Forum�wouldn�t you agree? But I am beginning to doubt that you would agree�or even understand what that means.
Arch, again, I am NOT obligated to provide you or anyone else with information, if I desire not to do so... that's called free choice!
As well as I owuld care less what your or anyone opinions are of me, I odn't answer to you or anyone. I know ht faith and in whom I believe and trsut, and man ain't got nothing to do with it.
I know your catholic faith have formed your opinions and and belief system, but you know nothing about my religious beliefes,faith or my opinions outside of what is written in God's words. I follow no man's theology but that of the Doctrine of Jesus Chirst that is written in God's Holy Word, which its spiritually difficult for you to even spiritually comprehend.
I don't use but one BIble, not one Bible plus one that is influenced by a man who put his own holy book together with his own church doctrine or theology to go along side of God's Word.... but One Holy Bible.... so don't try to tell me not one thing about what my faith and religious opinions are based upon, because you don't understand your own... not to speak about the doctrine of Jesus Christ that is written in the holy word of God's truth that we are to teach and preach to a lost world.
Nowhere in the Bible are we told to teach and preach or argue man's doctrine or theology above that of God's word, in fact, Paul says its a carnal mined person who does such and the person does not have the Spriti of the Lord working on the inside of him/her...
I hold no man or woman as my spiritual authority in God's Word, but the Holy Spirit of God... and for me there is no argument or debate or confusion or questions about what God has spoken about His Son Jesus Christ, and what He has spoken in His Holy Word of Truth about what He has done for all of us who were sinners, and some still are sinners...
As I've said, YOU tell me what cross did Calivn, or Arminians or the Pope or any of these men die upon for your sins and my sins or anyone's sins? Becasue Jesus was on the old rugget cross so I know not one of them was on that cross... Can't determine which cross on either side of Jesus, Calvin or Arminians or the Pope or any other spiritual leader represented, whether on the right hand orthe left hand, but for sure neither one of these men were in the middle... so what is the argument, their theology hasn't saved anybody, its what God has spoken and His grace that has saved... focus should be on Jesus not teaching and preaching Calvin's or Arminians or the Cathlic or Poep or any other doctrine or theology,... but that of the croos... thank you very much:bow:
Jude: I do not pull my punches. (Christ didn't) Do you think you can call Christians who accept a number of Calvin's teachings unchristian without a confrontation? Well, think again!
