🤔 Is this the full story? Some saints, it is said, were given a vision of Martin Luther in hell! Surely that must mean that either he strayed from the Lord's path into serious sin (mortal sin: "sin that leads to death") or the power and teachings of God's Holy Spirit at work certainly through the infallible doctrines of His Catholic church (yes headed by the pope) honours the excommunication issued by the pope! After all, Jesus Christ in Scripture teaches us with regards to the religious leaders of His day (the Pharisees, etc!): "You must obey them for they occupy the seat of Moses..." and, He said to Peter, our first pope: "I will give to you the keys of Heaven; whosoever's sins you forgive on Earth, are forgiven in Heaven, and whosoever's sins you retain are retained in Heaven". 🤷♀️🙏🛐✝️ P.s. 😢ML obviously meant well, but was hugely deceived by the serpent into: A. Disregarding the authority of Christ's chosen Pope. B. Causing serious division in Christ's church. Scripture assures us, "the Wisdom from above is first ...humble, peace loving not divisive..." Perhaps, he, ML, a Catholic monk/priest therefore under a vow of obedience to the Pope, should have directed his objections via the proper church hierarchy while remaining respectful and "watchful in prayer". Jumping around (seemingly humble, yet actually blindly prideful -deceived by satan) defying authority is the hallmark of the serpent, "I will not serve." Today, everyone who wants one, can have a copy of the Bible in their own language, yet sin and strife exist.🤷♀️ What did ML achieve? And still today, many who ought to know better still defy the pope, claiming to do so in the name of Christ, who Himself was actually a Model of true humility remaining "obedient unto death". 🤷♀️ 🛐Lord Jesus, teach us divine Wisdom and holy humility. Amen.✝️🌹😇
Thank you!
Amen
