Quote

I know that a Christian should be humble, but against the Pope I am going to be proud and say to him: You, Pope, I will not have you for my boss, for I am sure that my doctrine is divine.

More quotes by Martin Luther

Image
This doctrine (justification) is the head and the cornerstone. It alone begets, nourishes, builds, preserves, and defends the church of God and without it the church of God cannot exist for one hour.
Martin Luther
Image
Music is a fair and glorious gift of God. I am strongly persuaded that after theology, there is no art which can be placed on the level with music.
Martin Luther
Image
In the treatment of poverty nationally, one fact stands out: there are twice as many white poor as Negro poor in the United States. Therefore I will not dwell on the experiences of poverty that derive from racial discrimination, but will discuss the poverty that affects white and Negro alike.
Martin Luther
Image
While we contemplate in all creatures, as in a mirror, those immense riches of His wisdom, justice, goodness and power, we should not meerly run them over cursorily, and, so to speak, with a fleeting glance, but we should ponder them at length, turn them over in our mind seriously and faithfully and recollect them repeatedly.
Martin Luther
Image
Bewilderment is the true comprehension. Not to know where you are going is the true knowledge.
Martin Luther
Image
God creates out of nothing. Therefore, until a man is nothing, God can make nothing out of him.
Martin Luther
Image
The Devil, it is true, is not exactly a doctor who has taken degrees, but he is very learned, very expert for all that. He has not been carrying on his business during thousands of years for nothing.
Martin Luther
Image
An angel is a spiritual creature created by God without a body, for the service of Christendom and of the church.
Martin Luther
Image
The faith towards God in Christ must be sure and steadfast, that it may solace and make glad the conscience, and put it to rest. When a man has this certainty, he has overcome the serpent but if he be doubtful of the doctrine, it is for him very dangerous to dispute with the devil.
Martin Luther
Image
Grace remits sin, and peace quiets the conscience. Sin and conscience torment us, but Christ has overcome these fiends now and forever.
Martin Luther
Image
Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?
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
Image
The saved are singled out not by their own merits, but by the grace of the Mediator.
Martin Luther
Image
A Christian is free and independent in every respect, a bond servant to none. A Christian is a dutiful servant in every respect, owing a duty to everyone.
Martin Luther
Image
The Clergy is the greatest hindrance to faith.
Martin Luther
Image
Mary was not only holy. She was also the mother of the Lord.
Martin Luther
Image
No one can believe how powerful prayer is and what it can effect, except those who have learned it by experience. Whenever I have prayed earnestly, I have been heard and have obtained more than I prayed for. God sometimes delays, but He always comes.
Martin Luther
Image
Cannons and fire-arms are cruel and damnable machines I believe them to have been the direct suggestion of the Devil. If Adam had seen in a vision the horrible instruments his children were to invent, he would have died of grief.
Martin Luther
Image
A Christian is a perfectly free lord of all, subject to none. A Christian is a perfectly dutiful servant of all, subject of all, subject to all.
Martin Luther
Image
Christ is the master the Scriptures are only the servant.
