Answer 1

I don't think you can really pinpoint a specific one; you have to look at the whole picture. What Luther objected to, and what Lutherans today still object to, is the idea that justification is a commodity that can be produced through cooperation with the Holy Spirit; and futher, the idea that it can be shared out of abundance with other Christians not yet fully sanctified, in exchange for their own good works. It is the 95 Theses as a whole which condemn this doctrine and practice.

Answer 2

It isn't a matter of disagreeing with the 95 theses...Martin Luther was a heretic. He may have had some valid points but instead of reforming from within, he chose to create a schism that has rocked the Christian world and caused untold chaos.

He put himself above God and above the authority given the Church by Christ. No man can do this. Just because there are people within the Church (at times) that have been corrupt does not cause the entire Church to be corrupt. God is capable of dealing with these individuals. Martin Luther chose to make himself a Pope. In doing so, he created hundreds of Popes and it continues today.

On his deathbed he asked for a priest so he could give his confession and receive absolution. He also believed that Mary the Mother of God was to be honored and revered. He prayed to her and believed in her immaculate conception and perpetual virginity. He is even quoted as having regretted his actions because he saw the chaos he gave birth to.

Answer 3

The word of God calls Martin Luther a liar:

1John 4:20- If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

I am not a Catholic and I find much within RC ritual and belief with which I disagree. But I see no profit from bashing them. They are brothers, with whom I disagree.

But I cannot read Luther since I came to know this about him. Some of his quotes:

"The Jews deserve to be hanged on gallows, seven times higher than ordinary thieves."

"We ought to take revenge on the Jews and kill them."

Answer 4

I'm pretty sure they were upset about him writing that the
whole black box being a scam. If Your not familiar with the "black box" it was where church goers would put money to stay out of purgatory if they had sinned. I'm surprised Martin was the first person to say anything about this, I would have been screaming from the moutain tops! Catholicism was and is such a scam!!!!!

Answer 5

Luther was a renegade and schismatic Priest, nothing he said has any authority within the Catholic faith, Luther changed his name from `Luder` which means `beast in German so who the heck is going to give him any credence but Catholic haters.

Answer 6

Catholics hate Biblical truth altogether.

Catholics are not saved and are not Christians. Catholics believe a false gospel of works that leads to eternal hell.

Bible teachers that said the Vatican and the catholic cult are an antichrist:

John Bunyan, John Huss, John Wycliffe, John Calvin, William Tyndale, John Knox, Thomas Bacon, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, Samuel Cooper, John Cotton, and Jonathan Edwards

Answer 7

We love us our Mary statues. Bathtub Mary's are a must-have in any Portugese/Italian neighborhood. If you don't know what they are, ask a freind. You'll love it.
