Opinion of Martin Luther

[RINO Tom]

Obviously, looking back at him with a "2018 perspective," we are going to find a lot of things we don't like.  However, at the end of the day, my rating is obvious:

FF (Lutheran)

[RINO Tom]

FF for standing up to bad theology and trying to reform the Church, HP for leading to the deaths of countless people and irreversibly fracturing Christianity.

Martin Luther isn't responsible for people bastardizing his good reform ideas any more than the authors of the Gospels are for the Crusades.

[RINO Tom]

Clear FF despite the obvious black marks. The theological ideas he brought to Christianity were sorely needed, even if they were later taken too far, and it's impossible for anyone to honestly argue he was wrong in his critique of the Church's behavior.

Finally a logical response on the dude, thank you.
