    Let's get it from the PRIMARY SOURCE himself...

    ---> "I, as truly as my Lord Christ redeemed me, did not know what the indulgences were..." Martin Luther, Wider Hans Worst, 1541

    Source

    (English: LW41:179-256, pages 231-232)

    Indulgences and their abuse were simply a convenient catalyst to begin his revolt. One need merely look at his what is glaringly absent in his Disputatio pro declaratione virtutis indulgentiarum, as many of what would become the core tenets of his own religious system were not yet crystallized.

    The problem with that claim is that the One Universal (Catholic) Church and it's Bishop's were given the valid authority to decide things for the faithful of the newly emerging Christian faith. They took nothing from God but only obeyed Him!

    You mean Martin Luther and the other great renegades! Who are we to believe because as quickly after Luther proclaimed his stuff, other people started to disagree with him and started their own religious sects.

    By the way, to which Christian sect are you a follower of?

    I don't think it took long to figure out especially when you challenge it for debate...


    The Indulgences Controversy

    Indulgences and salvation

    In the fall of 1517 an ostensibly innocuous event quickly made Luther’s name a household word in Germany. Irritated by Johann Tetzel, a Dominican friar who was reported to have preached to the faithful that the purchase of a letter of indulgence entailed the forgiveness of sins, Luther drafted a set of propositions for the purpose of conducting an academic debate on indulgences at the university in Wittenberg. He dispatched a copy of the Ninety-five Theses to Tetzel’s superior, Archbishop Albert of Mainz, along with a request that Albert put a stop to Tetzel’s extravagant preaching; he also sent copies to a number of friends. Before long, Albert formally requested that official proceedings be commenced in Rome to ascertain the work’s orthodoxy"...https://www.britannica.com/biography/Martin-Luther/The-indulgences-controversy

    You have the words of Luther himself! He admitted he had no idea what an indulgence was. They were but a convenient catalyst to begin his revolt.

    History = Protestant kryptonite

    When most people heard of 'coronavirus' they had no idea what it was either, but they learned quickly.
