Out of love for the truth and the desire to bring it to light, the following propositions will be discussed at Wittenberg, under the oversight of the Reverend Father Martin Luther, Master of Arts and of Sacred Theology, & Lecturer on these subjects at Wittenberg.
Wherefore he requests that those who are unable to be present and debate orally with us, may do so by letter.
In the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ. Amen.
On October 31, 1517, the Augustinian monk, Martin Luther, in the fear and boldness of our Father in Heaven marched up to the church doors in Wittenberg and nailed to it his Disputation on the Power and Efficacy of Induldgences, or as it is commonly known, the Ninety-Five Theses. It was not Luther’s intent to separate and pull away from the Catholic church, but rather to enter into dialog and propose reform of certain questionable practices. However, the response that ensued from this one fearful, obedient, God loving step, was what we now know today as the Protestant Reformation.
Let us, fellow saints, take time to remember the work of the Lord through one faithful and broken vessel that shook an entire world by which the Lord ensured the faithful entreatment of His Word!
Soli Deo Gloria!
