A simple man with Scripture has more authority than the Pope or a council.
Martin Luther
Image
When one is possessed with doubt, that though he call upon the Lord he cannot be heard, and that God has turned him heart from him, and is angry ... he must arm himself with God's Word, promising to hear him.
Martin Luther

I feel much freer now that I am certain the pope is the Antichrist.
Martin Luther

Father and Mother are apostles, bishops and priests to their children, for it is they who make them acquainted with the gospel.
