- Martin Luther - how a humble 15th-century monk was able to change the world. Luther was born into a world governed by the Roman Church and a distant emperor.
He managed to awaken a national spirit in Germans and become someone they identified with. ‘Holy Roman Empire of the German Nation’ was what the territories in central Europe were called in the 15th century. It was the era of the Habsburg ruler Charles V, who saw himself as ruler by God’s grace and defender of Christian unity. In 1521, he said that the sun never set in his empire, which stretched from Latin America in the west to central Europe and to the Philippines in the east. The German territories were just one of his realms, and powerful princes defended their own interests here. Secular and religious power was still based on the Christianity of the Roman church. But many saw the Reformation as an opportunity to distance themselves from Rome and the Emperor, and to improve their standing in the political power structure of the day. Unlike the Habsburg emperor Charles V, who didn’t even speak German, Luther grew to become someone the people identified with, and he became hugely popular. The reformer was one of the first major figures to explicitly play the German card and appeal to national sentiment: one of his missives said, "Why should the Germans put up with robbery and oppression imposed by foreigners?” Luther’s translation of the Bible into German was an important step in forming a German identity, but the Reformation left Germany divided along religious lines.

“For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”
1 Timothy 2:5
This is certainly a great documentary - simultaneously informative, balanced and highly entertaining.
Thank you very much for this experience :)
It’s definitely not balanced.
A fascinating vid and I am learning so much.But I felt like I waged a war with the loud dramatic music!It eventually won I only made it half way through a 2nd go of this vid.
Thank you for watching and for your feedback!
I would argue that during the time of the Diet of Worms 1521, it is the Ottoman Sultan who is the most powerful man in the world at the time. Not the Holy Roman Emperor.
He also barely have any power over his subordinate regional princes.
No thanks to the heretics
The Holy Roman Emperor was also the king of Spain and owned large colonies in The Caribbean and New Spain (Mexico). He could have bought the Sultan with the proceeds of one annual treasure fleet.
Jas & Mike, in a way you are right. The religious material regarding the early Jesus community (church, if you will) was hidden during the time of the Emperor Constantine. I do not think it was hidden by him or it would have been destroyed. May have been hidden within the walls by one of the supporters of the Bishops whose position was that God was one, and that Jesus was not the son of God, an that Jesus was seperate from God and below Him. These positions the Monotheistic Bishops, primarily of North Africa, had hidden in the walls of Constantinople. This very important religious knowledge was not found until Constantinople was ruled by the Ottoman Empire. The last of the Christians leaving from that place was given this Christian material to take with them. And was found by the one man who God intended it for. The rest is history. Except that some years after Martin Luther and his strongest supporters had died the old enemies were back corrupting scripture and the work of Luther. For instance the Luther Church and most every other Protestant Church now accepts a 3 in 1 God, the Pope as God of the earth, and all of the other centuries old fables that will take them to the hellfire.
@@rembrandt972ify The Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire were both run by Emperors, both after the wealth and power. Both corrupting religious scripture.
Charles V beat the ottomans at Vienna starting the ottoman decline at Europe.
The first historian interviewed in this documentary looks more like Luther than the actor that was used.
The Germans became a dangerous. Religious experience.
Wasted, irrelevant comment!
@@briancherry3159 , that was stupid.
People tend to look different when jounger, perhaps.

I think no matter what side of christian you come from We should all be united as brothers And sisters
Amen brother. Hello from Los Angeles California USA
We are, but it's a shame ' The Only True Church ' does not recoqnize that, they are in their belief, the only one's who are saved. It's not up to them to decide, it's up to God. 😊❤😂😅😮😎👍👌
@tomrudolsen6235 right ✅️ At the end of the day God has the final judgment
Unity on essentials
Liberty on non essentials
Love in all else....
NOT Unity at all costs !!!
@@tomrudolsen6235what true church u talking about?
Everybody should be able to read the Holy Bible 📖
This is a powerful statement ..God bless you !!
Remember when the Catholics burned the books creating the short stories we know today. Remember them taking up paganism and implementing it in christianity?
The sentence is three words too long.
but bad intepretations are the cause of so many cults
Not compulsory for everyone it's only for those who believe in bible
God bless Martin Luther, almost none of us would be able to read our own bibles if not for him
“Nothing can be loved or hated unless it is first understood.”― Leonardo da Vinci.
Are you saved by Grace through faith? In the Gospel and blood of Jesus Christ
No so, people hate that which they do not understand everyday. It's called prejudice, to pre judge before one has all the information.
Only feared
That is a false and ridiculous quote. Just like the over used quote of yours, you're forgetting about ignorance.
Nobody is going to care what you have to say, as long as your profile pictures is of a cross. Maybe you should think for yourself instead of regurgiting googled quotes of ancient scholars?
By your profile pictures I can guarantee you have no tolerance when it comes to homosexuality, other people's religions, females as equal to males, a woman's right to do what she wants with her body?
F**k the 'fix!
@@areyouawake-2532 Is any one saved because he/she thinks so? "But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self.
4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord.
5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God."
"Peace if possible, truth at all costs." Martin Luther
Beautiful quote...
And died as a polytheist very bad luck didn't discovered the truth 😰🤦♀️
A polytheist?! He believed in ONE god.

Thank you God for Martin Luther! Thank you Luther for standing up for God and mankind ! Thank you for the reformation! Thanks you for defending sound faith in God and His Word. Long live the Bible! Long live the church! Away with evil and fraudulent religious leaders and their ungodly organisation! God bless Germany for giving the world Dr. Martin Luther .
It is man's pride that makes him think he has to have a part in earning or paying for salvation...salvation is paid in full by the sacrifice on the cross by Christ and him alone
Which is what is explained in the story of Job.
The Protestant Reformation 2 say that it was a pivotal in Western culture. And therefore the world there's is an understatement
It is an understatement rather
For Better or For Worse from there sprung modernity
Battling for the hearts and Minds I guess that's what it always came down to otherwise who could stand the hordes when Unleashed upon a Target
Overall, DW does great work - one of the best global English language networks out there in terms of fairness and intelligent coverage, and of course, these docs, too!
DW and a few more german television channels made this doc in german language. This is only the translated version to english by DW, or better known as "Deutsche Welle".
Well, it's German. The English Language is derived from the Germanic language and Galic. In Ireland, Scotland and Britian they spoke Galic.

Happy i came across this, i visited a friend in Norway, who took me to their church, everything was Catholic but no sign of the cross, and the main celebrant was a woman,i was surprised and when I asked about the church, she told me it's the Martin Luther church and believe me at first i thought she meant Martin Luther king. Ever since i have been wondering....why I am happy to come across this doc. Thank you DW for your amazing reports. I am a huge fan!
Go to a real Lutheran church and not the fake apostate state run churches that are liberal.
Hahaha! Girl thank God I’m not the only one I def thought MLK at first lol
If you ask yourself why Dw is not making critical thinking about religion this time is because DW is from Germany and Martin Luther was from Germany (FAF)
..l.
It's a shame that people think that when they enter a church that is Lutheran they actually don't know the difference between Martin Luther and Martin Luther King. The later was born Michael King. He changed his name.
'What we do in this life, echoes throughout eternity'
This is a fact most people dont realize, that Jesus died for us to save us from ETERNAL torment! This is why we NEED Jesus! He died for us, rose again and took away our ETERNAL PUNISHMENT for our evil sins, so that if we repent and Trust in Him ONLY and believe He is one with God and Gods son, and is The Savior of humanity, you will be saved and forgiven of your sins!
by Russell Crowe in "Gladiator"
@@korthjw Yup
They got the "dates and dead people" correct, but they missed the most important historical and spiritual fact, that is, God's work. Martin Luther and all the reformers worried about servants in the hands of God who is reclaiming the church and declaring the truth of the Gospel, which is salvation by grace alone.
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.
Welll said that was deeeeep
no
What I don't understand is why weren't the Lutherans able to discern the evil that was in hitler to reject him and never suffer the pain that he brought to the World including his own people!
So blessed than most nations at that time, this is how pride can bring trouble....

Thank you DW. May you give more of such documentary. Sometimes we get lost in the crowd ... everyone knows everything
Was born & raised a Roman Catholic, but strayed on my own. Several teachings, and too many Papal doctrines I Could NOT/Would Not back have me "outside the church" . This documentary (1st time viewed, minutes ago) , would have had me a Martin Luther convert years ago, had I known all the details presented, back then. I was fed only sidesteps and condemnations (with no details) about Martin Luther.
What an interesting way to start 2021... much investigation lies ahead for me.
Thanks for throwing some light onto my path !

Is the average German aware of the impact that Luther had upon their country and over half of all Christendom?
no
More likely how could we not be aware, Luther here Luther there, what he ultimately archived was the slowly decline of Catholic Church and he sets the path to a more and more secular society.
After the 30 Years War ravaged the German Landscape and People, one quarter of the German Population gets killed, starved and tortured to death, the HRE started to separate the Church from the Politics and embraced the Age of Humanism.
Hardly
HRE
Hardly. Italy Spain and HRE Portugal and Brazil and orthdox Christianity.
Martin Luther is why we Lutherans have always been a thorn in the side of the political establishment of any country where we are present. We bow to God and not the state. Governments are transitory as God is eternal. Luther put into our mouths `My rights under God`` not under the state. Rights are granted by God and not the state which unfortunately is an all to common belief among our so called democracies.
I am blown away by the quality of this documentary, DW - excellent job!!!
Thanks for watching and subscribing. We try to cover a broad spectrum of important and often difficult global
issues and we really appreciate your positive feedback.
Rome could have had him killed. God led and protected Luther to bring followers of Christ closer to God's word. May we be eternally grateful for that.
If God considered the Protestant reformation false he would've shattered it there and then it's obvious the church after centuries of wickedness had to reform and go back to the 1st century setting
@@ReformedR God already deemed protestantisim false, biggest nation of Protestants USA all of the Protestant churches acccept LGBTQ marriage and woman priests……. Also early Protestants helped invading Muslims and said "rather Turkish turban than the papal tiara" satanic statement…… You call your church "Lutherians"? Luther did nothing but divided Christianity and you Protestants have thousands of denominations that can’t even agree with yourselves…… Martin Luthifer was a demon. Notice how all of the Protestant nations have fallen to secular liberalism??? Catholic Church made by the Lord himself and commanded Saint Peter to start, God bless the church and may we all be united again and destroy this secular liberalism that Luthifer started.
Such a splendid documentary!!!

Great work DW !! Fabulous cinematography and Fantastic narration. Informative and quality documentary 👏
“Evangelical” is not Latin. It is Greek coming from the words:
“Ev” meaning good
And the verb “angello” meaning bringing the message.
Therefore, evangelical means: the good message.
The word GOSPEL means the same thing
It is originally Greek, having been borrowed into Latin, and from there into German.
The Catholic Church is rellay wonderfull!!!!
It is not sola scriptura. Wow!!!
Otherwise we would not hv known what was there between the gap when the gospels were not there...... Traditions are damn important.

@@علي-ش7ث8ب first of all, no, i am not an European.
Secondly, if you are saying that what muslim taught about Jesus was right, then it's contradicting history as they don't believe in the crucifixion. Now, if the crucifixion is real, my question is, why was Jesus crucified?
John, 5:18 - For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
John 1:14, 18; John 3:16, 18), Jesus presented himself as Son and not just as one who was the divinely appointed Messiah (and therefore "son" of God). He made himself out to be more than only someone chosen and anointed as divine representative to fulfil an eschatological role in and for the kingdom.
All the apostles were martyred coz of preaching the divinity of Christ. As st. Paul says, If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead.
If Jesus was just a man, i wonder why do people get healed by his name. I wonder, why is there power in that name.
@@xavierdcruze3917
1-The Coran clearly says that Jesus may peace be upon him was crucified but God saved him from this cursed death,I'm not accountable for some Muslims missunderstanding,I only follow what the Coran says(if you want me to explain to you why some Muslims believe that Jesus wasn't crucified I'll be happy to explain that to you)
2-The new testament and the old testament are not a "western" sources,they were borrowed from the "Middle East",when historical sources and religions go from a culture to an other cuture they get misunderstood because the lack of knowledge of culture,language,history,geography,religious creeds of the original land and also due to politics.(new religions are not welcomed and they get absorbed in local cultures)
3-Jesus was a historical figure who influenced all the ancient World and especially what's called now Europe,it's bizzare that this particular region lacks historical sources about such an influential man that modern western historians have started questionning the very existence of Jesus!!you should ask yourself what has happened to these local sources???!!!
4-Why the Church was so scared when the Bible 'which is the only historical source for "Europeans"'was translated and was made accessible for commun people?
The should've been happy because it will spread their creed and made Christianity stronger!!!❤
Tradition on top of tradition on top of tradition created a church so far removed from the real gospel of Christ that it took someone at the time the bible could finally be published to declare to the masses the most obvious thing on earth- the church needs to place itself below scripture, not above it. What a revolution.
@@shellieperreault6262
The scriptures go against all the teachings of the Church
Unfortunately,Christians leave the scriptures and stick to the Church interpretations
These interpretations are deep rooted in their minds that when they read the Bible they can't see what it really tells,
I can't blame them because the Church did a "great" job!
It's not a surprise when the Bible which is the only scriptures left,was translated and was made accessible to commun people the Church was so scared!❤
If you look back in history no civilization has done less according to their time scale. Take for example the Egyptian, The Indus Vally people, The Mesopotamians, and so on. Yet the Germanian people have done no less.

Everybody should have the free access to read the Bible. But of course its interpretation should be in the hands of the Church, not the individuals.
If u like this u will like the story of William Tyndale who battled for British reform and to translate n distribute the bible..there wer som wicked forces at play..its vey sad
Anne Chester "British reformation" is almost complete. Britain is 50% Muslim and 50% Hindu. Apparently, God is not on the heretic side of Christianity :))
@@christiantheone8952 What bs are you going on about 50% muslim and 50% hindu lmao
William Tyndale was a great man of God - - his influence runs very deep not only in England but in English language and culture, that culture spread throughout the world during colonial times and it was based on Tyndale's translation of the Bible, impacting the whole world with the Gospel and English culture (which was heavily influenced by the gospel of Jesus Christ).

So, many Christians like me may be asking , ''Did the Christian Church started only with Dr.Martin Luthers German Protestant Reformation (Lutheran Church) or John Calvin's Swiss Reformation (Presbysterian Church) or with King Henry English Reformation (Anglican Church ) only 500 years ago or with the Wesleyan Revival by John and Charles Wesley (Methodist Church) 250 years ago or with whenever was the ''Birthday'' of your particular Church (Baptist, Mennonite, Brethren, Pentecostal, Episcopal, Mar Thoma or whatever Sects or Denominations (etc. etc?) The Answer is ''Of Course not! '' God's Church started on the Day of Pentecost 33 AD, with the outpouring of God' Holy Spirit, were immediately severely persecuted by Satanic forces in high places, both from Jewish Religious rulers and Roman Emperors who sought to kill Christian believers in the Gospel (Greek: Euaggelion= Evangel in English) and extinquish the True Christian Faith. Then the Apostolic , Orthodox and Evangelical Christian Faith was supplanted by the Rise of Roman '''Catholicism''' in the West and Greek ''Orthodoxy'' in the East modeled after the authority of the Imperial Roman Emperors.starting with Emperor Constantine when he combined the the State (Political) with the Church, (Religious) Authorities under him. From then on ''Christendom'' apostasied from the True Message of the Gospel revealed in the Holy Scriptures and so went into the DARK ages ignorant of the Holy Bible.......until Dr.Martin Luther rediscovered the Truth of the Evangel (or Gospel) again in the Word of God especially in studying arduously the Book of Romans and Galatians...and the light of the Gospel and truth of the Bible began to shine into his soul and eventually spread round the world again under the threat of Satanic forces in high places again, this time also from both the hIghest Religious Authority (The Roman Pope-the Papacy) and the Political Authority (The Holy Roman Emperor-Charles V- Holy Roman Catholic Empire) The Church & State (the Idolatrous & Ecclesiatical Whore dominating one of the Political Beast's 7 Heads- Empire in Europe then) ...Church History repeated itself and came full circle in Germany and Europe. But this not the end...for the Battle still rages on today ...the Highest Religious and Political Authorities in many lands and nations around the World united and set against the Word of God and the Gospel (Evangel) of Jesus Christ ...aptly as Paul wrote ''For our conflict is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Ephsians 6: 10-18)....so be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.

Evaluate the answer of MARTIN LUTHER to the question: Why we call our priests today "priest"?
It's rather a child's fairy tale of good vs evil, than a serious historical documentary :) DW doesn't even pretend to be impartial. They are retelling centuries old, protestant apotheosis of Martin "Luder" and selling it as a serious, historically accurate version of the events. Sadly they don't mention that Luther came to his conclusions, while sitting on the toilet :) He is portrayed as some kind of humble monk and a hero, while in reality he was spreading enormous amount of hate-speech against Lusatian Sorbs, Jews, Catholics, Scientists (including Polish Astronomer Copernicus) etc. Luther was used by the German dukes as a useful idiot, to justify the robbing of the Church and elevating their status to the absolute rulers of both: the state and the church. Protestant "reformation" started the age of absolutism and tyranny.
Martin Luther was a rabid anti Semite.
And as the bible says......
A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. (Matthew 7:18 )
And the yahoos thought they were God's chosen people, always looking down on other cultures. Always refusing to integrate in host countries. Always using usury to get rich and powerful. People throughout 2,000 years have rejected the yahoos, not based on something random, but rather their behaviour.

Your documentary help me a lot in my graduation studies ..
I once told someone that I'm related to Martin Luther. He said "Really? You don't look black."
Sounds like Luther chose mammon at Frankenhausen, when 6000 peasants were butchered.
Was he perhaps the little horn in Daniel 7:8 ?.
Luther`s teaching changed England forever and also changed the world as we know it today too, whether for good or bad it`s your own mind that decides which. An excellent production many dankes.
It wasn't just his teaching. One of the greatest things was his translating the bible into German, the English translations, and Guttenberg's printing press which made so many bibles available to the common man. Now people could read the word of God for themselves and compare it with what the Catholic Church was teaching. That's why so many, like myself, left the Roman church.

i hope your joking when you called the Roman empire "Holy"... because they are FAR from HOLY. that's like calling the Nazis "Holy", especially since the Roman empire was corrupted, overtaxing their own people, persecuting the Jews, killing TRUE Christians before they even CONVERTED to their version of Christianity a.k.a Catholicism, and their ROMAN SOLDIERS were some of the MAIN people for murdering our Lord, Savior, and God Jesus Christ on that cross 💔😡😢✝️👑🕊️💙🙏
Until his death ... Martin Luther was true to his personal interpretation of words in the Catholic bible.
At that time in history ... there wasn't any Protestant bible.
It was the German princes that coined the word “protest” ... which became "Protestant" and simply meant that Martin and his Catholic followers were "protesting" what pope Leo X was preaching as being truth from God.
Martin’s AIM was to overthrow the pope and replace the pope with his self.
He wanted to be married … and as a Catholic monk, that was not allowed. So … he swore that Pope Leo X was a heretical blasphemer and that HE (Martin) knew the *correct interpretation of the very same Catholic bible.
“I am more afraid of my own heart than of the pope and all his cardinals. I have within me the great pope, Self.” Martin Luther.
And of course, Pope Leo X referred to Martin Luther as being the “real” heretic.
The tragedy of their choices … is that they were both just imagining that they knew truth from a god ... and that their arrogant behavior in turn resulted in division and war ... and the torture and death of many humans caught in the fray. And that to this day ... because of animosity ... has never created even a semblance of "agreement" in terms of biblical interpretation between the many factions.
All the torture and anger and bloodshed could have been spared ... if only all the so-called "Men of the cloth" had said those three little words ... "I don't know."
I like the documentary and I will use it for class in Church history. I am not German but have grown up with DW and I love them entirely! Thank you DW
My church is in Iceland and often refer to Martin Luther in my study sessions
Luther was brave to do what he did. The church needed reformation at that time. The church was doing vile things.
It was a schism and not needed.
It was a schism indeed. If you would like to see a REAL reformer read about St. Francis of Assisi or St. Ignatius of Loyola or St. Catherine of Sienna. Martin Luther was a pronounced and true apostate
@@kafon6368 A divide is necessary if it is against the Bible and how Yah justifies one through His Son Jesus. If you can’t see this then you need to cry out to Him and receive His free gift of salvation. The Catholic Church is a joke and has no authority to be a mediator between God and man. There is only One and His name is Jesus. Period. There is a reason Catholic doctrine isn’t anywhere to be found in the Scriptures. 🤷♂️
It was a schism. Yes, the church was corrupt at that time, and it's a human thing of corruption, greed and power, and was the mentality of people at that time. The church needed reformation, yes, but not split and form your own church. It just created more confusion.

If you don’t agree with the basics of Christianity and how one is justified in Christ then you are not apart of the true church which is described in the scriptures. There needs to be a split if there a Christian’s who don’t even agree with the basic principles of Christianity. The Catholic church isn’t Christian because they believe they can save themselves and twist the Word of God for their own unbiblical traditions.
I’m saying this with love to all who watch this channel...
please make sure you Don’t become a “lost Christian”, constantly trying to figure out WHO the Antichrist is... all while never knowing truly who Jesus is. Make sure you’re seeking to find him, & not getting swept up in this world’s drama. As more time goes on, I’m beginning to see the deception that is evident even here, in the kingdom... Many of us have in a sense, become schizophrenic; seeing things/signs of things, where they don’t even exist. Ask God for discernment, for many false teachers and prophets have gone out into the world, to pervert the gospel, and fool even the elect. Love you all
Amen to that, thank you.
Who is watching this channel and then focusing on the antichrist? Most people in these documentaries are dead
🟨🟨Jesus lived in the region called today Middle east,that's why you should check what historical sources in this region are saying,history is about sources not "theories",Jesus was the Messiah simply a man,a reformer of faith.The majority of people under Romans and then later Byzintines in Syria,Iraq,Egypt,North Africa,part of central Asia and even Goths in Eastern Europe and Spain, and Germanic nations believed in Jesus simply as a prophet of God but Romans and Byzintines under the fast spread of the movement founded by Jesus tried to save the ideology of the impire which is paganism by integrating the new faith into their ideology and this is how "christianity was born" and they forced it on people around the ancient World with persecution,burning religious books and hisorical sources ,all what happened from the 1st century AD till modern era has been about this struggle,nations in what's now called Muslim World and in Spain for some period of time accepted Islam since it's close to their faith and Islam gave them religious freedom and these nations fought with early Muslims and this why Islam spread so fast in few years , European nations stood against the Church in Rome and Constantinople but with time the Church was able to spread their political ideology,this period was called the "Darks ages" and it's the Church which made it dark ,later the European renaissace was just an other phase of this struggle.
Europeans today have no idea of their true history simply because the "Catholic Church" especially wiped it out .
The Church which spread the idea that Jesus is the son of God is the *Antichrist* because Jesus never said that

It must be interesting to see how Luther humbly added the word "alone" (allein in German) to Romans 3:28 controversially so that it read: "So now we hold, ... alone through faith" The word "alone" does not appear in the Greek texts, but Luther humbly added his theology to the Bible.

Luthifer divided Christianity and helped early Muslims attack the Catholic Church…….. he did nothing Burt divide like a demon….. The Catholic Church is still the biggest by far, and we trace back all the way to Jesus the lord himself and Saint Peter.
"Rather the Turkish turban than the papal tiara"…….. well it looks like the Protestant nations are getting what they asked for with all the Muslim immigration and their satanic statement in the beginning. Protestantisim gave birth to secular liberalsim, Prots and Muslims tried destroying the Catholic Church and FAILED, God protects the Church, may we all be united under Christ again.
Again today forgiven in the name of Jesus Holy Bible Jesus God saved Truth only Christianity in the name of Jesus

This documentary's portrayal of Luther is largely fabricated! The common German peasant people hadn't any voice or power, nor were able to protect him, only thanks to the German nobleman...!
It is sad that Germany squandered Luther's legacy. He preached the pure gospel of Jesus Christ. It is incomprehensible that Merkel said: "Islam belongs to Germany"
But that's how it should come. An I won't fear it, because all my faith is in Jesus.
I'll never forget, what Luther has done for germany and for europe. Like you already said "he preached the pure gospel of Jesus Christ". Nice to see another fellow realize what merkel actually said there. May god bless you.
READ READ READ the COMPLETE UNABRIDGED works of Luther --- COMPLETE and UNABRIDGED -- AND THEN tell me if he was this "hero".
READ READ READ as much as you can of the WRITINGS -- UNABRIDGED WRITINGS -- of the Early Christians, the Fathers of the Church, from the first to the fifth century AND THEN tell me if it fits Lutheran doctrine at all.
DON'T READ BOOKS on Luther or on the first Christians. READ READ READ the original books from all these people AND THEN make your mind.
"Reformation Day" is celebrated on October 31st right? And the Lutheran Bible has 66 books. Hmm.
The original Christian biblical canon was established by the Council of Rome in year 382. It had 73 books (two sacred numbers in Scripture). Hmm.
The Catholics would’ve never been challenged if it wasn’t for this smug troll
@Martin Luther you’re a smug troll……….great job!!!!!!! The Catholic Church still hasn’t recovered 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
@Martin Luther btw I’ve been in the room in that tower where you translated the Bible. You must’ve been pretty determined to stick it to the Pope to do all that in those living conditions
Martin Luther is not in heaven right now. He is in hell because of his sin of the flesh which is a heavy sin
Pope Leo X never encouraged the "sale" of indulgences. The st.Peter's basilica in Rome had to be finished, so he encouraged the people to give alms for the completion of this magnificent work. Furthermore to those faithful who would confess their sins, receive Holy Communion and give alms for the st. Peters, he granted a plenary indulgence, but this does not mean that one can "buy" an indulgence. Later, Pope Pius V in 1567 cancelled all grants of indulgences involving financial transactions, because of this kind of misconceptions around indulgences. The Pope makes use of his key power given to him by Christ, and no spiritual power or grace can ever be bought with money. That is why st.Peter rebuked Simon the magician, because he thought he could buy the gift of the Holy Spirit, with money. But this is not how Luthers revolte started. It started because he, as a Priest, could not control his sexual desires, and proclaimed blasphemously, in 1516, that God has given us Commandments we can not keep. With this blasphemy his new direction started. He started to alter the teaching of the Church about original sin, concupiscence, free will and justification.

I guess you're European I advise you to know you real history❤
Yes, I'm European. Please show me where I can find this real history. It would be interesting.The Vatican TODAY is a political ideology of paganism, and has nothing to do with real christendom anymore, as it existed 100 years ago. Because modernist revolution has almost destroyed it. Islam made such progress, by the sword, and by the fact that people want to live a comfortable life without bothering about theology. The christian Apostle's on the other hand, conquered the Roman Empire with their words, with the Word of God, and they were up against a heavily armed, all powerful Roman Empire. Many of them have shed their blood as martyrs, but in the end were victorious. The seat of the Apostle Peter was established there in Rome. Spain was the first European country that accepted the christian faith directly from Jerusalem, not from Rome. On her soil was built the first catholic chapel. The Virgin Mary, the mother of Jesus, was present herself when it was built by the Apostle st. James. Islam came later as a conqueror, not as a benefactor. The Apostle's and Mary have given testimony about the divinity of Jesus. That Jesus has both the human and the divine nature united in his Person. That is why the church declared her to be the Mother of God. Christian faith is not a product of Roman paganism. On the other hand, Islam can be considered a product of Arab paganism, if you look for instance at the worship they give to Kaba ah, the big stone in Mecca. Moses can not be their prophet, nor the God of Israël their God, for then they would know about, and follow the Ten Commandments, which Moses brought from Mount Sinaï to the jewish people. The same Law was followed and respected by Jesus and his disciples. But there is no such thing known in islam.
The Papal indulgences were them same as the animal sacrifices and gold paid to the clergy that Christ forbid. Repentance for the remission of sins was the banner of both John and Jesus.
"I will go peaceably and firmly to the Catholic Church: for if Faith is so important to our salvation, I will seek it where true Faith first began, seek it among those who received it from God Himself." ~ Elizabeth Ann Seton
Cope harder
A good documentary ruined by an unnecessary musical backtrack.
Ah, the dude who took it upon himself to remove books from the canon
Wrong.
He removed nothing from the cannon. Rearranged it a bit, but removed nothing. 👍
And again the Church "law" and not God's Law forbid priests getting married - cause if they had Kids they would Inherit the church buildings and land- so for Weath reasons;
Luther in the beginning did not object to corruption or some strange religious practices but was against the theology of the late Middle-ages that did not give a real witness of the belief of the redemption by Jesus Christ. Thats what made him insist on the justification doctrine. He only wanted to change the theology and in that way the church as a whole. He never ever had an idea to reform the church in the way it happend in Reformation. He even later opposed to some reforms that were made for instance in Wittenberg by the course of the reform movement. Luther even was more a mystic if you read him carefully.
Only one person can forgive sins. JESUS is the ONLY one that can forgive sins. A church, a priest, a minister cannot forgive sins and no amount of $$$$ can forgive sins.

Hi @John Cowie, thanks for your comment. Merry Christmas :)
HOW ABOUT HIS YRS AS A MONK, & HIS FATEFUL TRIP TO ROME ???????????
Great documentary... thank you🌷🥀
Good documentary with a few left-out historical facts. It appears the documentary aimed to glorify Martin Luther by mostly showing one side of him. I believe he had a darker side which left a mark on German people and their culture. The one thing I didn't hear about the Peasant's War was that before the war broke out, it was Luther who came to the peasants as a form of a "savior" by telling them "Among Christians, no authority can or ought to exit, but everyone should be subject to all", "God Almighty has struck our princes with madness so that they imagine they may treat and command their subjects just as they please, and the subjects too are crazy enough to think that it is their duty to obey all that is commanded them", He even said " The princes are the greatest fools and the worst scoundrels on earth. The people cannot, will not any longer, endure your tyranny and your presumption". Hearing this and not knowing his true colors, the peasants were duped into believing Luther, which ultimately caused their persecution. The peasants did publish their grievances in a memorandum consisting of twelve articles. Luther's response to these articles was titled "Exhortation to Peace regarding the Twelve Articles". It feels like Luther was backing away from his previous preaching about not enduring tyranny and presumption. In the end, he went against the peasants and declared " Peasants are no better than straw. They will not hear the Word and they are without sense; therefore they must be compelled to hear the crack of the whip and the whiz of bullets, and it is only what they deserve. We must pray for them that they may become obedient; but if they do not, pity is of no avail here, we must let the cannon-balls whistle among them, or they will only make things a thousand times worse." Luther continued and on May 6, 1525 he published his pamphlet "Against the Peasant Bands of Robbers and Murderers". On this pamphlet, he said " To kill a peasant is not murder; it is helping to extinguish the conflagration. Let there be no half-measures! Crush them! Cut their throats! Transfix them! Leave no stone unturned! To kill a peasant is to destroy a mad dog! ... A prince who failed to do so would be sinning against God very boldly..." His views toward marriage were also flawed, read history and his writings to confirm. He once said "Marriage is an external bodily thing, like any other manipulation. Know that Marriage is an outward material thing like any other secular business. The body has nothing to do with God. In this respect one can never sin against God, but only against one's neighbor". Hmm, that's a very interesting way of looking at Marriage! I wonder why these were not included in the documentary? After the Reformation, Luther was a different person with a different agenda; perhaps that was his true color showing up at the end.
Don't mention his views on the Jews & how that influenced Germans
Can you please recommend any book about this?

Exactly, initially he was only calling for a renewal of the Church, and there was nothing wrong with that, it needed to be corrected but then something went through his head and he tought that he could creat his own church, a church founded by a man and not by God....500 years later, what we have now? More than 50, 000 denominations and still growing, all claiming to have the truth, but The Truth is only one.
John 17:20, 23
Jesus said:
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one"

poor poor man.
It is still the case that strait is the gate narrow the way and few there are who find it
And Luther was not among those few.
