Martin Luther

Martin Luther was a man that changed the whole world by being courageous in the 1500's. In 1905 Luther became a monk as we saw in the movie he mad the choice to become a monk because he was almost struck by a bolt of lighting while he was coming home and he prayed to God to help him and save him and God did save him so Luther then devoted his whole life to tell the world about God. Luther became somewhat famous when he wrote his Ninety-Five Theses which he nailed to the door of a church at Wittenburg the Ninety-Five Theses were accusing  the Roman Catholic Church of Heresy.  After This Martin was looked at as a Criminal and the Roman Leader called him an outlaw so Martin decided to go into hiding.  While Martin was hiding he decided to translate the Bible into German. At this time the Bible had only been Latin and was out of reach for many Christians this meant that Christians didn't know if the Preacher was even telling them the right thing out of the bible because they didn't have one or could even go look at one because they could not read it. So what Luther did really changed how the World Worked in many ways.  If Luther would have never done what he did with the catholic church we might have only have Catholicism today. Martin Luther should be someone that all Christians look up to. The reason being is that he stood up for what was right he knew that there was something wrong with the Catholic church and many Catholics new there was something wrong they just were to scared to say anything. You even see in the movie I forgot who it was but it was someone with the Catholic Church and they thank martin for what he did and they even say I was scared or something along those lines. I could not think of a world today with really only one form of Christianity but you know it  could have easily been this way if Martin Would not have stood up for what he believed in. He single handily made the christian denominations of today come about because he stood up for what was right. Another way we see Martins courage how he dealt with temptation and even Satan because you see in the movie it seemed like he was talking to himself and i believe he was arguing with Satan and his Power and how he never gave up with what he was doing. Along with all the Courage he showed and writing the bible in German he also wrote Luther's small catechism which is a small training book that teaches children the bible it includes the main points of the bible. So all in all I learned quite a bit about Martin Luther while I was doing this blog and enjoyed learning about him and how good of a person and someone that I should look up to because the way he stood up to everyone not even caring about what they were going to do or say.
