Therefore we conclude that a man is justified by faith without the deeds of the law.
Reading St. Paul's Letter to the Romans (3,28) Luther realized selling of indulgences is not corresponding to the word of the Lord.

As having feared death himself, Luther's determined to let people know, god's not waiting for their money but granting mercy to those, who are faithful. So on October 31st 1517 he pinned 95 theses to the gate of Schloßkirche Wittenberg. This Placarding of 95 Propositions should start the "Reformation".

It's not good to act against ones promptings of conscience, so here I stand and I can't do that ("Hier stehe ich, ich kann nicht anders") may god help me. Amen.

So that's the Luther story. I tried to put it all into one post, but it was too much...

Das ist also die Geschichte zum Luther 2017-Klicky. Sie war zu lang für einen Beitrag...
