History 101: The Protestant Reformation | National Geographic

Who was Martin Luther? What is the Reformation and why does it matter? Roughly 500 years ago, Luther is said to have nailed his 95 Theses on the door of the Castle Church in Germany. With the help of the printing press, this 16th century protest against corruption in the Catholic Church would drastically change the course of Christianity - and history itself.

    Higher level towards what? Because it has greatly contributed to the secularist drive of the world. Protestants have done that: protest. Most have NO IDEA of the heresies they believe. Catholicism is barely comprehensible for them. They rather believe that the Holy Spirit abandoned the Church for 1500 or a 1000 years than to consider the possibility of Luther being ACTUALLY an heretic who deserved excommunication.

    @@TiffWaffles Yes, they where combined until 1054. When split took place. Reason of the split is authority. Christianity was ruled by patriarchs (as it is today in Eastern Orthodoxy), while patriarch of Rome and pope was first among the equal which means there was certain respect from other patriarchs towards him and when in liturgy names of patriarchs where read, he was always first one mentioned. However he wanted to have authority over others, other patriarchs refused and split happened.

    Fair point. Division and conflict within the body of Christ should be avoided. Except. The Catholic Church was not the body of Christ. Why? The Catholic Church did not place emphasis on the love, grace and forgiveness of God found in Jesus Christ. In Christ alone. By Grace alone. Through faith alone. Instead, this church emphasised that you needed works to be saved, and the church prevented everyday men and women from reading the Scriptures, and so, discouraged literacy development amongst the masses. Through the reformers’ efforts, like Luther, they broke away from the system that was not the body of Christ, encouraged people to read the Scriptures for themselves through pushing for reading development, and preached that an entirely different message to what Catholic priests had conveyed- that you need faith in Christ alone to be saved. This, the body of Christ was formed, as new Christians came together, in unity of their trust in Christ alone. The Catholic Church didn’t like that. Essentially, from a Christian’s perspective, the Catholic Church of Luther’s time prevented people from knowing their real God, who is revealed through Christ. Ultimately, what’s more important? Following God? Or following the system that prevents you from following God because you’re being taught to trust in the system and their ways, such as doing works for the sake of salvation (flawed theology), and tithing (although the money just went to fill greedy priests’ pockets and decorate the church buildings with grandeur. Ultimately, if a so-called ‘church’ doesn’t systemically operate as the body of Christ, then there’s no point trying to stay. And anyway, Luther did try to improve the Catholic Church through his protests. Why is it bad if someone raises issues with a church? No church is above reproach. If they claim to be so, then they’re not showing humility at all. Luther wasn’t trying to divide. He was trying to reveal the gospel truth. Why is that bad? How is it bad to reveal the truth one has found for themselves in the scriptures? The only people who would object to something like that are those who are trying to conceal or hide something. The Catholic priests and followers simply weren’t acting as the body of Christ. That’s essentially what ‘church’ is. The ‘body of Christ. Luther was forced out of this system that held him in contempt. What happened afterwards, was that a real body of Christ was formed outside the Catholic system. One that was still riddles with strifes and violence. But then again, we are human. No group is free of strife. But as long as they find commonality in their sole devotion to Christ, then that’s what makes them the body of Christ.

    Honestly, the Protestant revolution brought about the *exact* innacuracies in this video, for the record: 1. Indulgences are for sins *already forgiven* in confession, not buying forgiveness through donation. 2. The Church already allowed for theological questions and argumentation. The Western University system the Church created was known for practice of "the disputed question". 3. The printing press was invented by a German Catholic, the printing press made the Bible more accessible period. Not just the mistranslated works of Luther and other Protestants. 4. The Bible was already in multiple vernacular translations and in languages other than Latin before Luther and the rest published their translations that were imbedded with their own Protestant theologies, which didn't even have all the same books as the Church. 5. Protestantism didn't do away with the elite, it just made the elite Protestant which eventually led to John Calvin's dictatorship in Geneva, Henry VIII's asserting himself as both the head of the Church and State in England murdering those who didn't accept his new wife(s), and the 30 years war between warring factions across Europe. It's an absolute mess. On a final note, Catholicism is for everyone from the least educated to the greatest of all Educated, for Kings and rulers, even the Pope is subject to the Faith, not even he may escape the Church's authority.

    Capronic2 Dethroned That’s a myth. The reason people didn’t read the Bible wasn’t because the Catholic Church condemned reading scripture or was trying to keep people from reading it on their own. It was simply because literacy rates were very low in Middle Ages and renaissance and limited only to the clergy, scholars, scribes, artisans and some of the rich. And finally, because paper was very expensive, and writing an entire Bible was an incredibly time consuming process, so it was unheard of to see a Bible anywhere other than a Church. The Catholic Church wrote the books of the bible under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, preserved and canonized scripture, interpreted and applied it with apostolic authority and preached the gospel to its faithful for the past 2000 years. We now have literacy rates near 100% in the modern world and paper and book writing isn’t a laborious process, so we can and should read scripture on our own. It is incredibly fruitful. But we cannot interpret meaning infallibly. That’s the job of the Church, and that’s exactly what Christ wanted, Matthew 16:18, Matthew 18:18

    Reading the books of the New Testament, we probably asked ourselves more than once: *"Why 2000 years we do not see those miracles that accompanied the Сhurch of Christ in the I century, as described in the New Testament?"* Why do the so-called preachers of Christ have to prove that Jesus really existed and atheists boldly deny the historicity or divine origin of Christ? Maybe because the Сhurch of Christ has not existed for 2000 years? The Сhurch does not exist in the form in which it is presented in the books of the New Testament, but there are Catholic, Orthodox, Protestant and other christian sects claiming to be the place of the Church, but they not have the only thing that distinguishes the divine from the human and is characteristic of just the Сhurch of Christ -the reinforcement of the word with signs, that is, miracles (Mark 16:15-20). Therefore, some researchers doubt the historicity of Christ, and some of them are not opposed to declaring him a an ordinary philosopher, teacher. But even if Jesus were an ordinary philosopher, his disciples would be ordinary followers of Jesus. And they would not dare to write about the miracles that not only Jesus, but also his disciples, could perform. In this world, the great fertility of atheism can be explained by the fact that there is no main opponent of critics of the Bible - the Church. If there were the Church in our time as described by the authors of the New Testament books, where miracles are performed, the sick are healed, where prophesied, and the dead are raised, no one would doubt the historicity of Christ. Then there would be the same controversy throughout the world as in the first century - Jesus the Son of God or the false prophet who seduces the world by miracles. As a result, we can say that the emergence and development of christian sects and atheism was the result of the fact that over the 2000 years the Сhurch of Christ did not exist. Find *"The Mystery about the Church of Christ"* video on KZread, which shows the real causes of Christian sects and atheism. The video reveals a prophecy about the disappearance and reappearance of the Church of Christ before the end of the world. Watching this video will bring joy to all who sincerely seek God and will interest those who are not too lazy to think freely.

    The main problem is that the Protestant Church has never returned to its historical roots. The Orthodox Church is the original Christian Church, the Church founded by the Lord Jesus Christ and described in the pages of the New Testament. Her history can be traced in unbroken continuity all the way back to Christ and His Twelve Apostles. Many of us are surprised to learn that for the first 1000 years of Christian history there was just one Church. The Orthodox Church has steadfastly maintained the Apostolic Faith. She has avoided both the excesses of papal rule and of congregational independence. She preserved the Apostles’ doctrine of the return of Christ at the end of the age, of the last judgement and eternal life, and continues to encourage her people to grow in Christ through union with Him. In a word, Orthodox Christianity has maintained the Faith “once for all delivered to the saints.”

    While i do like the spirit of this video, i have serious questions with its content. "Christianity", as they put it, was not under the authority of the Pope. Rather Catholicism was under the Pope, and Orthodox Christians, who populated all of Eastern Europe and portions of the Middle-East, did not recognize the authority of the Pope, anx therefore did not follow many of the corruot practices of the then Catholic church. While this fact does damage the narrative of Luther being the savior of all of Christianity and Europe from a tyranical Papacy in Rome, it is important not ignore Eastern Europe and their contributions to the political and religious landscape of Europe that led to our modern day.

    Wasn't Europe peaceful before Reformation? Ig it became way more violent during and after the Reformation, ideas like equality and democracy has already caused revolutions, 2 world wars, etc. to get imposed upon 🙄
