What people dont understand about Martin Luther, at least many catholics, he was right on many arguements he nailed on the church doors. What many protestants are not taught, he never ment for the church to split, and he himself was a priest. So at least for what the catholic church was really all about ( the heart of the church ) is also something he believed in.
But scripture does teach Protestants to split from the Catholic Church, regardless of not being taught by Luther or any one else.
2 Corinthians 6:.14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 18 And will be a Father unto you, and ye shall be my sons and daughters, saith the Lord Almighty.
Turning communion into a "holy communion" by doing it in more than in remembrance of Him, by believing His Presence is in the bread and the wine thus committing idolatry, 1 Corinthians 10:14-23 Certainly making the blood of the Covenant to be on par with the blood of goats & bulls that it bears repeating by making His one time sacrifice for sins "present" again to receive again is no different than sacrificing Him all over again on the cross although the Catholics deny that latter conclusion to that misapplication, but they are still His for why God will have vengeance on His people for doing that. Hebrews 10:1-31 Definitely see the need to withdraw here.
2 Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you: 2 And that we may be delivered from unreasonable and wicked men: for all men have not faith. 3 But the Lord is faithful, who shall stablish you, and keep you from evil. 4 And we have confidence in the Lord touching you, that ye both do and will do the things which we command you. 5 And the Lord direct your hearts into the love of God, and into the patient waiting for Christ. 6 Now we command you, brethren, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that ye withdraw yourselves from every brother that walketh disorderly, and not after the tradition which he received of us. 7 For yourselves know how ye ought to follow us: for we behaved not ourselves disorderly among you;.......
14 And if any man obey not our word by this epistle, note that man, and have no company with him, that he may be ashamed. 15 Yet count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.
In many ways, it is like America, the USA. i really beleave in this country, and what the For-Fathers ( signers of the Declaration of Independence) stood for.
Yet as it seems today, via our government officials, you would never know it. Unless you dig
The end is coming as it approaches the elites' goals for a New World Order now that the NSA is tasked for population control and the F.B.I to arrest parents that speak out against school's curriculum that have children readings books about sexual immorality like a boy giving oral sex to an adult, but these things are happening because we are "occupied" by the NWO now. They want to provoke Americans to attack our government by their rights to the second amendment. Why else would Biden have tax payers pay for abortions overseas? But thanks to God, their attempt to provoke the Catholics to riot failed even though a public announcement of the Catholic Church withholding the Eucharist from Biden was announced and Biden was not troubled by this at all.
As the elites are drawing their nets in America, having control of the media & the internet, God will be coming soon to judge His House first and those not found abiding in him, will be excommunicated from the Marriage Supper above, left behind to die, but their spirits will be with the Lord in Heaven to await for their resurrection after the great tribulation whereas those abiding in him, will be delivered out of that net while the elites in America will fall into it when one third of the earth gets burned up ( Revelation 8:7 ), hence the entire western hemisphere, after the rapture event which will set the stage for the rest of the world for the mark of the beast system to buy & sell in order to survive in this New World Order.
Biden & the other elites will be disappointed to see that America will not be the nation to lead in the coming New World Order.
Psalm 141:1Lord, I cry unto thee: make haste unto me; give ear unto my voice, when I cry unto thee. 2 Let my prayer be set forth before thee as incense; and the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. 3 Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth; keep the door of my lips. 4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practise wicked works with men that work iniquity: and let me not eat of their dainties. 5 Let the righteous smite me; it shall be a kindness: and let him reprove me; it shall be an excellent oil, which shall not break my head: for yet my prayer also shall be in their calamities. 6 When their judges are overthrown in stony places, they shall hear my words; for they are sweet. 7 Our bones are scattered at the grave's mouth, as when one cutteth and cleaveth wood upon the earth. 8 But mine eyes are unto thee, O God the Lord: in thee is my trust; leave not my soul destitute. 9 Keep me from the snares which they have laid for me, and the gins of the workers of iniquity
. 10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, whilst that I withal escape.
