The Lutherans

  • Luther challenged many of the Catholic teachings with his Ninety-five Thesis
  • The born again salvation plan of Jesus Christ is no longer taught or practiced

    • Luther challenged many of the Catholic teachings with his Ninety-five Thesis

    The Lutheran Denomination was founded by Martin Luther in 1517 AD: Martin Luther challenged the Catholic teachings (e.g., ‘indulgences’) with his Ninety-five Theses. Luther rejected tradition as our authority and stated that only Scripture was our authority. This led to a reformation of Bible study which led to the seeking of answers instead of seeking church hierarchy. Luther believed that salvation came from the cross and not from the works done by man. (29. The Lutheran Handbook & A History of Christian Doctrine, Volume 2 by David K. Bernard Chapter 2, “Martin Luther and Early Lutheran Theology” pgs. 27-48)

    The born again plan taught by Jesus Christ is no longer taught or practiced.

    Though Luther challenged the man-made Catholic doctrines, the Lutheran denomination retained the Catholic doctrine of the trinity and baptism in the titles of Father, Son and Holy Ghost despite the clear teachings of the Scriptures
