In all honesty, do protestants truly believe that Martin Luther was justified in abandoning the Church that Christ founded. Did he think he could make a liar of Christ? Wouldn't it have been better for Luther to remain in Christ's Church and pray to God for its reformation, without abandoning it? Christ himself promised that the gates of hell would not prevail against His church. Could Luther not have trusted Christ and seen that no matter what darkness stood against the True Church, that darkness would never prevail?

Was Pope Leo X justified by his papal bull of Jan.3, 1521 Decet Romanum Pontificem, which excommunicated Luther?
Was Holy Roman Emperor Charles V justified when, by way of the diet of Worms(25 May 1521),he declared Luther an outlaw that anyone could kill without punishment?
Yes, Luther trusted in Christ.justification by HIS grace alone was not the most important thing...but the only thing!
Read the 95 Theses and tell me if you really think Luther's gripe was with the validity or truth of the risen Christ. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/takethat.gif" alt="" />

By the way, the "P" in Protestant is capitalized.
