That is a false and ridiculous quote. Just like the over used quote of yours, you're forgetting about ignorance. Nobody is going to care what you have to say, as long as your profile pictures is of a cross. Maybe you should think for yourself instead of regurgiting googled quotes of ancient scholars? By your profile pictures I can guarantee you have no tolerance when it comes to homosexuality, other people's religions, females as equal to males, a woman's right to do what she wants with her body? F**k the 'fix!
@@areyouawake-2532 Is any one saved because he/she thinks so? "But with me it is a very small thing that I should be judged of you, or of man's judgment: yea, I judge not mine own self. 4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. 5 Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God."
Was born & raised a Roman Catholic, but strayed on my own. Several teachings, and too many Papal doctrines I Could NOT/Would Not back have me "outside the church" . This documentary (1st time viewed, minutes ago) , would have had me a Martin Luther convert years ago, had I known all the details presented, back then. I was fed only sidesteps and condemnations (with no details) about Martin Luther. What an interesting way to start 2021... much investigation lies ahead for me. Thanks for throwing some light onto my path !
🟨🟨Jesus lived in the region called today Middle east,that's why you should check what historical sources in this region are saying,history is about sources not "theories",Jesus was the Messiah simply a man,a reformer of faith.The majority of people under Romans and then later Byzintines in Syria,Iraq,Egypt,North Africa,part of central Asia and even Goths in Eastern Europe and Spain, and Germanic nations believed in Jesus simply as a prophet of God but Romans and Byzintines under the fast spread of the movement founded by Jesus tried to save the ideology of the impire which is paganism by integrating the new faith into their ideology and this is how "christianity was born" and they forced it on people around the ancient World with persecution,burning religious books and hisorical sources ,all what happened from the 1st century AD till modern era has been about this struggle,nations in what's now called Muslim World and in Spain for some period of time accepted Islam since it's close to their faith and Islam gave them religious freedom and these nations fought with early Muslims and this why Islam spread so fast in few years , European nations stood against the Church in Rome and Constantinople but with time the Church was able to spread their political ideology,this period was called the "Darks ages" and it's the Church which made it dark ,later the European renaissace was just an other phase of this struggle. Europeans today have no idea of their true history simply because the "Catholic Church" especially wiped it out . I guess you're European I advise you to know you real history❤
Happy i came across this, i visited a friend in Norway, who took me to their church, everything was Catholic but no sign of the cross, and the main celebrant was a woman,i was surprised and when I asked about the church, she told me it's the Martin Luther church and believe me at first i thought she meant Martin Luther king. Ever since i have been wondering....why I am happy to come across this doc. Thank you DW for your amazing reports. I am a huge fan!
If you ask yourself why Dw is not making critical thinking about religion this time is because DW is from Germany and Martin Luther was from Germany (FAF)
It's a shame that people think that when they enter a church that is Lutheran they actually don't know the difference between Martin Luther and Martin Luther King. The later was born Michael King. He changed his name.
Thanks for watching and subscribing. We try to cover a broad spectrum of important and often difficult global issues and we really appreciate your positive feedback.
It is man's pride that makes him think he has to have a part in earning or paying for salvation...salvation is paid in full by the sacrifice on the cross by Christ and him alone
“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams.
What I don't understand is why weren't the Lutherans able to discern the evil that was in hitler to reject him and never suffer the pain that he brought to the World including his own people!
This is a fact most people dont realize, that Jesus died for us to save us from ETERNAL torment! This is why we NEED Jesus! He died for us, rose again and took away our ETERNAL PUNISHMENT for our evil sins, so that if we repent and Trust in Him ONLY and believe He is one with God and Gods son, and is The Savior of humanity, you will be saved and forgiven of your sins!
Overall, DW does great work - one of the best global English language networks out there in terms of fairness and intelligent coverage, and of course, these docs, too!
DW and a few more german television channels made this doc in german language. This is only the translated version to english by DW, or better known as "Deutsche Welle".
Remember when the Catholics burned the books creating the short stories we know today. Remember them taking up paganism and implementing it in christianity?
We are, but it's a shame ' The Only True Church ' does not recoqnize that, they are in their belief, the only one's who are saved. It's not up to them to decide, it's up to God. 😊❤😂😅😮😎👍👌
I find these 5 minute long ads very annoying. They are NOT advertisements, they are programs that I am not interested in watching or buying anything they are selling.
I stumbled upon this video and it caused me to watch it for several reasons. First of all as a young boy I was raised by my parents in the Lutheran church. Most people in the city I grew up in , St. Louis, Missouri, were either Roman Catholic or some form of protestant denominations. This denomination, namely being Lutheran, gave me a sense of God consciousness. I studied for two years prior to being confirmed as a young person in my early teens. Later, I began attending another protestant denomination in which salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and His attorning work was similar but evangelistically oriented. This video is a good overview as to how Martin Luther, via the Reformation, came into existence. It is clear that Luther was learned of the bible, diligent in his research and fervent in his beliefs that the Pope was not infallible, that Catholicism was not only distorted in its teachings. It is clear that the selling of indulgences was a tool for the Pope of that era to raise money for his purposes. Some would say that the Catholic church has become more corrupt over the centuries or that it is not really a Christian church.
And yet there was and still is another side of Christianity, apart from Western Catholic and its protestant derivations- the Orthodox Church, the only one which kept the true faith and all the Patristic Councils decisions at its core. Reformation sprouted a zillion heretic movements, culminating in cults and who knows what those US Southerners are worshiping, certainly not the Holy Trinity.
The TV preachers tell their audience that faith is necessary and sufficient to receive forgiveness of all sins and gain entry to heaven. The best proof of faith is tithing to the church. These preachers are selling indulgences. Their audience has come to believe that God’s forgiveness is a license to sin.
@@charlesbrowne9590 The pope needed money to build St. Peter's, a magnificent building open to all. Today we have gold covered banks and weapons of universal death. Lutherans got rid of the pope and put the princes in charge, until the people realized they did not need the prince either and Luther went nuts against the democratic political rebels.
Pope and Luther were the same both lusting for power never for the poor or middle class but the rich & royalty. The fact he turned against his people is telling wolf in sheep's clothing he was
This is actually an episode from the German TV channel ZDF and their history documentary series, Die Deutschen (The Germans.) DW just dubbed it into English; sadly, not the other episodes.
What many may not know is that Martin Luther also wrote a book called "The Jews and their lies". I love this documentary. Its very powerful, and one of the best I've seen. More people need to see this. It needs millions of views. Thank you.
PLEASE READ GOD IS ASKING YOU TOO Something else that is not taught in schools anymore, there is only ONE way to enter heaven and that is by the blood of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, you don't get it by being "good" because non of us are, Humanity ALL breaks the commandments everyday and the wages of sin is DEATH, but the good news is that God has given us a gift of EVERLASTING LIFE!!!! Ephesians 2:8-9 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God not by works, so that no one can boast. Heaven and Hell are REAL places and NOBODY other than Jesus Christ can get you in, No other "gods" can help you, ALL other so called gods are Fallen Angels not gods! they are CREATED not the CREATOR!!!!! The Hindu, Egyptian, Greek, Norse "gods" LIE and DECIEVE I used to fall for their pagan lies, I have explored beliefs all over the world and I promise there is no other that will not deceive you, Satan and his minions take any form they need to in order to make you believe they are the creators, They want the GLORY that belongs to GOD!! God bless all of you!
Luther`s teaching changed England forever and also changed the world as we know it today too, whether for good or bad it`s your own mind that decides which. An excellent production many dankes.
It wasn't just his teaching. One of the greatest things was his translating the bible into German, the English translations, and Guttenberg's printing press which made so many bibles available to the common man. Now people could read the word of God for themselves and compare it with what the Catholic Church was teaching. That's why so many, like myself, left the Roman church.
@@kjvnews8326 teaching or Killin with teaching. It's easy to kill and convinsing... When your whole family has been killed in the name of your god. The god that is eternally good....
@@philipsangwal5824 By going against the church? Which goes back to the early apostles? Protestantism now is a confusing mess. 77 english translations of the bible alone, not to mention the many many different denominations that claim "sola scriptura", yet tell women they have to wear skirts and not pants, for example. (Baptist doctrine) This division and confusion is the result of Luther's movement and teaching. The best thing that came from this was the bible being made available to the common man. But not after Luther, in his own authority, removed books that have been there for generations.
Martin Luther is why we Lutherans have always been a thorn in the side of the political establishment of any country where we are present. We bow to God and not the state. Governments are transitory as God is eternal. Luther put into our mouths `My rights under God`` not under the state. Rights are granted by God and not the state which unfortunately is an all to common belief among our so called democracies.
Hi, I work in NYC and with the vaccine mandate I'm facing unemployment on Dec 27th 2021. I was led to this video I believe by the Holy Spirit. Today, instead of spending the day with my wife and kids as I would like, I have to put in time doing biblical research on how to defend my faith and trust in God to be my defense and deliverer during this pandemic as I appeal for religious exemption. The Holy Spirit brought this to my remembrance, "the just shall live by faith", then Psalm 91 and Hebrews 11. And so I'm here, drawing strength to defend my faith in God in writing to my employer and the State of New York. The Lord's will be done, Amen.
Ich bewundere, was Martin Luther im Grunde gegen den Strom der Gesellschaft getan hat, was viel Mut erfordert. Im gegenwärtigen Moment bin ich sehr dankbar, dass ich eine lutherische Kirche besucht habe - ein erfrischender Einblick in eine intellektuelle Kirche. Wir feierten das Oktoberfest und ein Teilnehmer spendete sogar einen Haufen Bier. Endlich bin ich unter Gleichgesinnten, die ich mit Acrylfarben male, und arbeite daran, mein kleines Tierfotografie-Unternehmen zu gründen, also bin ich ein sehr glücklicher Camper. Vielen Dank für das Teilen dieses interessanten Videos. Vielen Dank
More likely how could we not be aware, Luther here Luther there, what he ultimately archived was the slowly decline of Catholic Church and he sets the path to a more and more secular society. After the 30 Years War ravaged the German Landscape and People, one quarter of the German Population gets killed, starved and tortured to death, the HRE started to separate the Church from the Politics and embraced the Age of Humanism.
If God considered the Protestant reformation false he would've shattered it there and then it's obvious the church after centuries of wickedness had to reform and go back to the 1st century setting
@@ReformedR God already deemed protestantisim false, biggest nation of Protestants USA all of the Protestant churches acccept LGBTQ marriage and woman priests……. Also early Protestants helped invading Muslims and said "rather Turkish turban than the papal tiara" satanic statement…… You call your church "Lutherians"? Luther did nothing but divided Christianity and you Protestants have thousands of denominations that can’t even agree with yourselves…… Martin Luthifer was a demon. Notice how all of the Protestant nations have fallen to secular liberalism??? Catholic Church made by the Lord himself and commanded Saint Peter to start, God bless the church and may we all be united again and destroy this secular liberalism that Luthifer started.
Brilliant work ! We sadly are missing and need more people that have this unique thinking and resilience to evil and corruption. Especially today to teach us and direct us to be better.
That what the Bible is for! The Bible directs us to God truth and how he wants us to live. You may not be able to change the world but you can start by being guided by the Bible 💕
They got the "dates and dead people" correct, but they missed the most important historical and spiritual fact, that is, God's work. Martin Luther and all the reformers worried about servants in the hands of God who is reclaiming the church and declaring the truth of the Gospel, which is salvation by grace alone.
Lutheranism was the driving force behind the character of the current Anglican church with it's retainment of bishops, vestments and in some case statues. It became in effect along with Anglicanism a happy half way house between Roman Catholic elaboracy and Reformed/Calvinist austerity.
Guy, "high church" liturgy in Anglicanism is far more elaborate than any Roman Catholic service I've ever been to. I've attended "high church" Episcopalian services (here in the US), Roman Catholic services, and non-denominational reformed services. The Catholic services and the non-denominational services were extremely similar, differing in only one minor aspect. The Anglo-Catholic services were over the top elaborate, highly ritualistic.
Luther in the beginning did not object to corruption or some strange religious practices but was against the theology of the late Middle-ages that did not give a real witness of the belief of the redemption by Jesus Christ. Thats what made him insist on the justification doctrine. He only wanted to change the theology and in that way the church as a whole. He never ever had an idea to reform the church in the way it happend in Reformation. He even later opposed to some reforms that were made for instance in Wittenberg by the course of the reform movement. Luther even was more a mystic if you read him carefully.
Catholics are Christians. Actually, Catholics and Orthodox Christians existed for 1,400 years before any Protestant denomination came into being, which includes Lutheranism and every other 30,000 Protestant denominations.:/
The beast was wounded forever. Thanks to these brave christians, jan hus, wycliffe, luther, calvin, ulrick, etc for standing against the beast of Vatican
Luthifer divided Christianity and helped early Muslims attack the Catholic Church…….. he did nothing Burt divide like a demon….. The Catholic Church is still the biggest by far, and we trace back all the way to Jesus the lord himself and Saint Peter. "Rather the Turkish turban than the papal tiara"…….. well it looks like the Protestant nations are getting what they asked for with all the Muslim immigration and their satanic statement in the beginning. Protestantisim gave birth to secular liberalsim, Prots and Muslims tried destroying the Catholic Church and FAILED, God protects the Church, may we all be united under Christ again.
Wow! I've been looking for a documentary like this for many years I'm glad I found this one. By any chance do you have a documentary about the French Revolution?
@@DWDocumentary but it's more about favouring Martin Luther and show church wrong if it's history show as history but not in bias way....this one side story
@@dilipmathangi5434 that's way the title of this docu is Martin Luther. It is all about him and his bias. If you don't agree with this docu, please make yours!
It was a schism indeed. If you would like to see a REAL reformer read about St. Francis of Assisi or St. Ignatius of Loyola or St. Catherine of Sienna. Martin Luther was a pronounced and true apostate
@@kafon6368 A divide is necessary if it is against the Bible and how Yah justifies one through His Son Jesus. If you can’t see this then you need to cry out to Him and receive His free gift of salvation. The Catholic Church is a joke and has no authority to be a mediator between God and man. There is only One and His name is Jesus. Period. There is a reason Catholic doctrine isn’t anywhere to be found in the Scriptures. 🤷♂️
It was a schism. Yes, the church was corrupt at that time, and it's a human thing of corruption, greed and power, and was the mentality of people at that time. The church needed reformation, yes, but not split and form your own church. It just created more confusion.
@@zenvirgil If you don’t agree with the basics of Christianity and how one is justified in Christ then you are not apart of the true church which is described in the scriptures. There needs to be a split if there a Christian’s who don’t even agree with the basic principles of Christianity. The Catholic church isn’t Christian because they believe they can save themselves and twist the Word of God for their own unbiblical traditions.
If you look back in history no civilization has done less according to their time scale. Take for example the Egyptian, The Indus Vally people, The Mesopotamians, and so on. Yet the Germanian people have done no less.
After watching "Unity towards the east p1" by Mark Woodman where he was explaining the way Luther was compelled to recant, I decided to watch his story. If you will make it to heaven, he will be one of the people that you will see, for he stood for the truth.
Sehr Gutt. My name is Martin and although I'm American (Italian-American) I lived in Augsburg for four years. Ich habe in Augsburg fur vier jahren gewohnen. 🇺🇸🇩🇪.
So, many Christians like me may be asking , ''Did the Christian Church started only with Dr.Martin Luthers German Protestant Reformation (Lutheran Church) or John Calvin's Swiss Reformation (Presbysterian Church) or with King Henry English Reformation (Anglican Church ) only 500 years ago or with the Wesleyan Revival by John and Charles Wesley (Methodist Church) 250 years ago or with whenever was the ''Birthday'' of your particular Church (Baptist, Mennonite, Brethren, Pentecostal, Episcopal, Mar Thoma or whatever Sects or Denominations (etc. etc?) The Answer is ''Of Course not! '' God's Church started on the Day of Pentecost 33 AD, with the outpouring of God' Holy Spirit, were immediately severely persecuted by Satanic forces in high places, both from Jewish Religious rulers and Roman Emperors who sought to kill Christian believers in the Gospel (Greek: Euaggelion= Evangel in English) and extinquish the True Christian Faith. Then the Apostolic , Orthodox and Evangelical Christian Faith was supplanted by the Rise of Roman '''Catholicism''' in the West and Greek ''Orthodoxy'' in the East modeled after the authority of the Imperial Roman Emperors.starting with Emperor Constantine when he combined the the State (Political) with the Church, (Religious) Authorities under him. From then on ''Christendom'' apostasied from the True Message of the Gospel revealed in the Holy Scriptures and so went into the DARK ages ignorant of the Holy Bible.......until Dr.Martin Luther rediscovered the Truth of the Evangel (or Gospel) again in the Word of God especially in studying arduously the Book of Romans and Galatians...and the light of the Gospel and truth of the Bible began to shine into his soul and eventually spread round the world again under the threat of Satanic forces in high places again, this time also from both the hIghest Religious Authority (The Roman Pope-the Papacy) and the Political Authority (The Holy Roman Emperor-Charles V- Holy Roman Catholic Empire) The Church & State (the Idolatrous & Ecclesiatical Whore dominating one of the Political Beast's 7 Heads- Empire in Europe then) ...Church History repeated itself and came full circle in Germany and Europe. But this not the end...for the Battle still rages on today ...the Highest Religious and Political Authorities in many lands and nations around the World united and set against the Word of God and the Gospel (Evangel) of Jesus Christ ...aptly as Paul wrote ''For our conflict is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Ephsians 6: 10-18)....so be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.
Its shocking to me that more people can't see history and reality itself intertwined in the book of books. What a painting our Creator has laid before them that have eyes to see and ears to hear.
The Catholic Church is rellay wonderfull!!!! It is not sola scriptura. Wow!!! Otherwise we would not hv known what was there between the gap when the gospels were not there...... Traditions are damn important.

@@علي-ش7ث8ب first of all, no, i am not an European. Secondly, if you are saying that what muslim taught about Jesus was right, then it's contradicting history as they don't believe in the crucifixion. Now, if the crucifixion is real, my question is, why was Jesus crucified? John, 5:18 - For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God. John 1:14, 18; John 3:16, 18), Jesus presented himself as Son and not just as one who was the divinely appointed Messiah (and therefore "son" of God). He made himself out to be more than only someone chosen and anointed as divine representative to fulfil an eschatological role in and for the kingdom. All the apostles were martyred coz of preaching the divinity of Christ. As st. Paul says, If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead. If Jesus was just a man, i wonder why do people get healed by his name. I wonder, why is there power in that name.
@@xavierdcruze3917 1-The Coran clearly says that Jesus may peace be upon him was crucified but God saved him from this cursed death,I'm not accountable for some Muslims missunderstanding,I only follow what the Coran says(if you want me to explain to you why some Muslims believe that Jesus wasn't crucified I'll be happy to explain that to you) 2-The new testament and the old testament are not a "western" sources,they were borrowed from the "Middle East",when historical sources and religions go from a culture to an other cuture they get misunderstood because the lack of knowledge of culture,language,history,geography,religious creeds of the original land and also due to politics.(new religions are not welcomed and they get absorbed in local cultures) 3-Jesus was a historical figure who influenced all the ancient World and especially what's called now Europe,it's bizzare that this particular region lacks historical sources about such an influential man that modern western historians have started questionning the very existence of Jesus!!you should ask yourself what has happened to these local sources???!!! 4-Why the Church was so scared when the Bible 'which is the only historical source for "Europeans"'was translated and was made accessible for commun people? The should've been happy because it will spread their creed and made Christianity stronger!!!❤
Tradition on top of tradition on top of tradition created a church so far removed from the real gospel of Christ that it took someone at the time the bible could finally be published to declare to the masses the most obvious thing on earth- the church needs to place itself below scripture, not above it. What a revolution.
@@shellieperreault6262 The scriptures go against all the teachings of the Church Unfortunately,Christians leave the scriptures and stick to the Church interpretations These interpretations are deep rooted in their minds that when they read the Bible they can't see what it really tells, I can't blame them because the Church did a "great" job! It's not a surprise when the Bible which is the only scriptures left,was translated and was made accessible to commun people the Church was so scared!❤
I’m saying this with love to all who watch this channel... please make sure you Don’t become a “lost Christian”, constantly trying to figure out WHO the Antichrist is... all while never knowing truly who Jesus is. Make sure you’re seeking to find him, & not getting swept up in this world’s drama. As more time goes on, I’m beginning to see the deception that is evident even here, in the kingdom... Many of us have in a sense, become schizophrenic; seeing things/signs of things, where they don’t even exist. Ask God for discernment, for many false teachers and prophets have gone out into the world, to pervert the gospel, and fool even the elect. Love you all

“I will go peaceably and firmly to the Catholic Church: for if Faith is so important to our salvation, I will seek it where true Faith first began, seek it among those who received it from God Himself.” (St Elizabeth Anne Seton)
Catholics aren't the original Christian. They just pretend to be because they are the oldest surviving Church with propaganda telling people Jesus created it.
It's the inclusion of folklore and commentary that compromise so much of the "richness" of catholic dogma. The cult of Mary, the rosary, purgatory, relic veneration... Where in life of Jesus do you find any of this?? In the end, all later accretions. Martin Luther were reformers and minimalist, stripping the practice down to basics.
Catholics look too strictly like Pharisees to me? Like what the comment above said they have made up these new religious rituals that don’t have anything to do with preaching the gospel of Christ
It must be interesting to see how Luther humbly added the word "alone" (allein in German) to Romans 3:28 controversially so that it read: "So now we hold, ... alone through faith" The word "alone" does not appear in the Greek texts, but Luther humbly added his theology to the Bible. " It's quite possible that martin Luther may have confused one theological opinion with the officicial teaching of the church and initiated his program of reform on the basis of this misunderstanding" "Biography of John Calvin" Oxford professor Alister McGrath, p. 11. The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it's the illusion of knowledge.
“Evangelical” is not Latin. It is Greek coming from the words: “Ev” meaning good And the verb “angello” meaning bringing the message. Therefore, evangelical means: the good message.
catholics aren't real christians. Waldensians or waldenese were the real christians that were slaughtered by catholics. martin luther knew that and that's why he went after catholics
@DW What is the Title of the Narrative Film used for this Documentary? or was it just created and filmed just for this Documentary? Could you just upload the Narrative Cuts from this Documentary?
It was an episode of the german TV channel "ZDF" called "Die Deutschen". DW just dubbed it and yes all the historian scences were filmed for this documantary.
This is a great documentary about the legacy and contribution of Martin Luther.Resisting and inspiring the people to fight against the abuses of the powerful dogmatic Church and spreading the truth is truly remarkable.This gives me more reason to never ever go back and believe the Catholic Church. 1:14 am 9-15-22
Just try to apply the same standards toward the state today, especially in Germany. ha ha ha. Just try to find truth, freedom from abuses, and peace from the modern state. Lutheranism today is disappearing into yet another woke failure.

Anne Chester "British reformation" is almost complete. Britain is 50% Muslim and 50% Hindu. Apparently, God is not on the heretic side of Christianity :))
William Tyndale was a great man of God - - his influence runs very deep not only in England but in English language and culture, that culture spread throughout the world during colonial times and it was based on Tyndale's translation of the Bible, impacting the whole world with the Gospel and English culture (which was heavily influenced by the gospel of Jesus Christ).
It is sad that Germany squandered Luther's legacy. He preached the pure gospel of Jesus Christ. It is incomprehensible that Merkel said: "Islam belongs to Germany"
But that's how it should come. An I won't fear it, because all my faith is in Jesus. I'll never forget, what Luther has done for germany and for europe. Like you already said "he preached the pure gospel of Jesus Christ". Nice to see another fellow realize what merkel actually said there. May god bless you.
I would argue that during the time of the Diet of Worms 1521, it is the Ottoman Sultan who is the most powerful man in the world at the time. Not the Holy Roman Emperor. He also barely have any power over his subordinate regional princes.
The Holy Roman Emperor was also the king of Spain and owned large colonies in The Caribbean and New Spain (Mexico). He could have bought the Sultan with the proceeds of one annual treasure fleet.
Jas & Mike, in a way you are right. The religious material regarding the early Jesus community (church, if you will) was hidden during the time of the Emperor Constantine. I do not think it was hidden by him or it would have been destroyed. May have been hidden within the walls by one of the supporters of the Bishops whose position was that God was one, and that Jesus was not the son of God, an that Jesus was seperate from God and below Him. These positions the Monotheistic Bishops, primarily of North Africa, had hidden in the walls of Constantinople. This very important religious knowledge was not found until Constantinople was ruled by the Ottoman Empire. The last of the Christians leaving from that place was given this Christian material to take with them. And was found by the one man who God intended it for. The rest is history. Except that some years after Martin Luther and his strongest supporters had died the old enemies were back corrupting scripture and the work of Luther. For instance the Luther Church and most every other Protestant Church now accepts a 3 in 1 God, the Pope as God of the earth, and all of the other centuries old fables that will take them to the hellfire.
@@rembrandt972ify The Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire were both run by Emperors, both after the wealth and power. Both corrupting religious scripture.
Brilliant teaching of history - but WHY, WHY, WHY do we have to put up with the constant background noise which adds nothing to the programme - we endure the 'noise man' to get at the facts. It's Irritating.
@CATHOLIC for EVER He is a more moral person than a lot of the old popes. Become Orthodox brother, follow the original most conservative branch of Christianity.

🟨🟨Jesus lived in the region called today Middle east,that's why you should check what historical sources in this region are saying,history is about sources not "theories",Jesus was the Messiah simply a man,a reformer of faith.The majority of people under Romans and then later Byzintines in Syria,Iraq,Egypt,North Africa,part of central Asia and even Goths in Eastern Europe and Spain, and Germanic nations believed in Jesus simply as a prophet of God but Romans and Byzintines under the fast spread of the movement founded by Jesus tried to save the ideology of the impire which is paganism by integrating the new faith into their ideology and this is how "christianity was born" and they forced it on people around the ancient World with persecution,burning religious books and hisorical sources ,all what happened from the 1st century AD till modern era has been about this struggle,nations in what's now called Muslim World and in Spain for some period of time accepted Islam since it's close to their faith and Islam gave them religious freedom and these nations fought with early Muslims and this why Islam spread so fast in few years , European nations stood against the Church in Rome and Constantinople but with time the Church was able to spread their political ideology,this period was called the "Darks ages" and it's the Church which made it dark ,later the European renaissace was just an other phase of this struggle.
Europeans today have no idea of their true history simply because the "Catholic Church" especially wiped it out .
I guess you're European I advise you to know you real history❤

Happy i came across this, i visited a friend in Norway, who took me to their church, everything was Catholic but no sign of the cross, and the main celebrant was a woman,i was surprised and when I asked about the church, she told me it's the Martin Luther church and believe me at first i thought she meant Martin Luther king. Ever since i have been wondering....why I am happy to come across this doc. Thank you DW for your amazing reports. I am a huge fan!
Go to a real Lutheran church and not the fake apostate state run churches that are liberal.
Hahaha! Girl thank God I’m not the only one I def thought MLK at first lol
If you ask yourself why Dw is not making critical thinking about religion this time is because DW is from Germany and Martin Luther was from Germany (FAF)

It's a shame that people think that when they enter a church that is Lutheran they actually don't know the difference between Martin Luther and Martin Luther King. The later was born Michael King. He changed his name.

I stumbled upon this video and it caused me to watch it for several reasons. First of all as a young boy I was raised by my parents in the Lutheran church. Most people in the city I grew up in , St. Louis, Missouri, were either Roman Catholic or some form of protestant denominations. This denomination, namely being Lutheran, gave me a sense of God consciousness. I studied for two years prior to being confirmed as a young person in my early teens. Later, I began attending another protestant denomination in which salvation by grace through faith in Jesus Christ and His attorning work was similar but evangelistically oriented. This video is a good overview as to how Martin Luther, via the Reformation, came into existence. It is clear that Luther was learned of the bible, diligent in his research and fervent in his beliefs that the Pope was not infallible, that Catholicism was not only distorted in its teachings. It is clear that the selling of indulgences was a tool for the Pope of that era to raise money for his purposes. Some would say that the Catholic church has become more corrupt over the centuries or that it is not really a Christian church.
And yet there was and still is another side of Christianity, apart from Western Catholic and its protestant derivations- the Orthodox Church, the only one which kept the true faith and all the Patristic Councils decisions at its core. Reformation sprouted a zillion heretic movements, culminating in cults and who knows what those US Southerners are worshiping, certainly not the Holy Trinity.
The TV preachers tell their audience that faith is necessary and sufficient to receive forgiveness of all sins and gain entry to heaven. The best proof of faith is tithing to the church. These preachers are selling indulgences. Their audience has come to believe that God’s forgiveness is a license to sin.
@@charlesbrowne9590 The pope needed money to build St. Peter's, a magnificent building open to all. Today we have gold covered banks and weapons of universal death. Lutherans got rid of the pope and put the princes in charge, until the people realized they did not need the prince either and Luther went nuts against the democratic political rebels.
And now, protestants do just as catholics did
Pope and Luther were the same both lusting for power never for the poor or middle class but the rich & royalty. The fact he turned against his people is telling wolf in sheep's clothing he was

Luther`s teaching changed England forever and also changed the world as we know it today too, whether for good or bad it`s your own mind that decides which. An excellent production many dankes.
It wasn't just his teaching. One of the greatest things was his translating the bible into German, the English translations, and Guttenberg's printing press which made so many bibles available to the common man. Now people could read the word of God for themselves and compare it with what the Catholic Church was teaching. That's why so many, like myself, left the Roman church.

@@philipsangwal5824 By going against the church? Which goes back to the early apostles? Protestantism now is a confusing mess. 77 english translations of the bible alone, not to mention the many many different denominations that claim "sola scriptura", yet tell women they have to wear skirts and not pants, for example. (Baptist doctrine) This division and confusion is the result of Luther's movement and teaching. The best thing that came from this was the bible being made available to the common man. But not after Luther, in his own authority, removed books that have been there for generations.
Martin Luther is why we Lutherans have always been a thorn in the side of the political establishment of any country where we are present. We bow to God and not the state. Governments are transitory as God is eternal. Luther put into our mouths `My rights under God`` not under the state. Rights are granted by God and not the state which unfortunately is an all to common belief among our so called democracies.

Hi, I work in NYC and with the vaccine mandate I'm facing unemployment on Dec 27th 2021. I was led to this video I believe by the Holy Spirit. Today, instead of spending the day with my wife and kids as I would like, I have to put in time doing biblical research on how to defend my faith and trust in God to be my defense and deliverer during this pandemic as I appeal for religious exemption. The Holy Spirit brought this to my remembrance, "the just shall live by faith", then Psalm 91 and Hebrews 11. And so I'm here, drawing strength to defend my faith in God in writing to my employer and the State of New York. The Lord's will be done, Amen.
Ich bewundere, was Martin Luther im Grunde gegen den Strom der Gesellschaft getan hat, was viel Mut erfordert.

They got the "dates and dead people" correct, but they missed the most important historical and spiritual fact, that is, God's work. Martin Luther and all the reformers worried about servants in the hands of God who is reclaiming the church and declaring the truth of the Gospel, which is salvation by grace alone.
Lutheranism was the driving force behind the character of the current Anglican church with it's retainment of bishops, vestments and in some case statues. It became in effect along with Anglicanism a happy half way house between Roman Catholic elaboracy and Reformed/Calvinist austerity.
Guy, "high church" liturgy in Anglicanism is far more elaborate than any Roman Catholic service I've ever been to. I've attended "high church" Episcopalian services (here in the US), Roman Catholic services, and non-denominational reformed services. The Catholic services and the non-denominational services were extremely similar, differing in only one minor aspect. The Anglo-Catholic services were over the top elaborate, highly ritualistic.
@@WallStwizkid yes check a latin catholic mass...thats pure liturgy. Vetus ordo
That’s not true at all.
This is certainly a great documentary - simultaneously informative, balanced and highly entertaining.
Thank you very much for this experience :)
It’s definitely not balanced.
Luther in the beginning did not object to corruption or some strange religious practices but was against the theology of the late Middle-ages that did not give a real witness of the belief of the redemption by Jesus Christ. Thats what made him insist on the justification doctrine. He only wanted to change the theology and in that way the church as a whole. He never ever had an idea to reform the church in the way it happend in Reformation. He even later opposed to some reforms that were made for instance in Wittenberg by the course of the reform movement. Luther even was more a mystic if you read him carefully.
This is great. In a short space of time I learned a century of history.
Far from it, pal - far, far from it
I grew up as Catholic but eventually converted to Christian. Martin Luther was such a courageous individual for standing up to the Catholic Church.
1 Tim 2:15
Luther hated Jews and changed words in The Holy Bible.

Luthifer divided Christianity and helped early Muslims attack the Catholic Church…….. he did nothing Burt divide like a demon….. The Catholic Church is still the biggest by far, and we trace back all the way to Jesus the lord himself and Saint Peter.
"Rather the Turkish turban than the papal tiara"…….. well it looks like the Protestant nations are getting what they asked for with all the Muslim immigration and their satanic statement in the beginning. Protestantisim gave birth to secular liberalsim, Prots and Muslims tried destroying the Catholic Church and FAILED, God protects the Church, may we all be united under Christ again.

@@zenvirgil
If you don’t agree with the basics of Christianity and how one is justified in Christ then you are not apart of the true church which is described in the scriptures. There needs to be a split if there a Christian’s who don’t even agree with the basic principles of Christianity. The Catholic church isn’t Christian because they believe they can save themselves and twist the Word of God for their own unbiblical traditions.
If you look back in history no civilization has done less according to their time scale. Take for example the Egyptian, The Indus Vally people, The Mesopotamians, and so on. Yet the Germanian people have done no less.
After watching "Unity towards the east p1" by Mark Woodman where he was explaining the way Luther was compelled to recant, I decided to watch his story. If you will make it to heaven, he will be one of the people that you will see, for he stood for the truth.

So, many Christians like me may be asking , ''Did the Christian Church started only with Dr.Martin Luthers German Protestant Reformation (Lutheran Church) or John Calvin's Swiss Reformation (Presbysterian Church) or with King Henry English Reformation (Anglican Church ) only 500 years ago or with the Wesleyan Revival by John and Charles Wesley (Methodist Church) 250 years ago or with whenever was the ''Birthday'' of your particular Church (Baptist, Mennonite, Brethren, Pentecostal, Episcopal, Mar Thoma or whatever Sects or Denominations (etc. etc?) The Answer is ''Of Course not! '' God's Church started on the Day of Pentecost 33 AD, with the outpouring of God' Holy Spirit, were immediately severely persecuted by Satanic forces in high places, both from Jewish Religious rulers and Roman Emperors who sought to kill Christian believers in the Gospel (Greek: Euaggelion= Evangel in English) and extinquish the True Christian Faith. Then the Apostolic , Orthodox and Evangelical Christian Faith was supplanted by the Rise of Roman '''Catholicism''' in the West and Greek ''Orthodoxy'' in the East modeled after the authority of the Imperial Roman Emperors.starting with Emperor Constantine when he combined the the State (Political) with the Church, (Religious) Authorities under him. From then on ''Christendom'' apostasied from the True Message of the Gospel revealed in the Holy Scriptures and so went into the DARK ages ignorant of the Holy Bible.......until Dr.Martin Luther rediscovered the Truth of the Evangel (or Gospel) again in the Word of God especially in studying arduously the Book of Romans and Galatians...and the light of the Gospel and truth of the Bible began to shine into his soul and eventually spread round the world again under the threat of Satanic forces in high places again, this time also from both the hIghest Religious Authority (The Roman Pope-the Papacy) and the Political Authority (The Holy Roman Emperor-Charles V- Holy Roman Catholic Empire) The Church & State (the Idolatrous & Ecclesiatical Whore dominating one of the Political Beast's 7 Heads- Empire in Europe then) ...Church History repeated itself and came full circle in Germany and Europe. But this not the end...for the Battle still rages on today ...the Highest Religious and Political Authorities in many lands and nations around the World united and set against the Word of God and the Gospel (Evangel) of Jesus Christ ...aptly as Paul wrote ''For our conflict is not against blood and flesh but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world rulers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. (Ephsians 6: 10-18)....so be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on the armour of God so that you can take your stand against the devil's schemes, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything to stand. Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord's people.
Very nice, thank you. The Protestants are returning to Rome... The battle is real and heating up...
@@johndena2882 can you explain to me please ? Thank you.
Its shocking to me that more people can't see history and reality itself intertwined in the book of books. What a painting our Creator has laid before them that have eyes to see and ears to hear.

🟨🟨Jesus lived in the region called today Middle east,that's why you should check what historical sources in this region are saying,history is about sources not "theories",Jesus was the Messiah simply a man,a reformer of faith.The majority of people under Romans and then later Byzintines in Syria,Iraq,Egypt,North Africa,part of central Asia and even Goths in Eastern Europe and Spain, and Germanic nations believed in Jesus simply as a prophet of God but Romans and Byzintines under the fast spread of the movement founded by Jesus tried to save the ideology of the impire which is paganism by integrating the new faith into their ideology and this is how "christianity was born" and they forced it on people around the ancient World with persecution,burning religious books and hisorical sources ,all what happened from the 1st century AD till modern era has been about this struggle,nations in what's now called Muslim World and in Spain for some period of time accepted Islam since it's close to their faith and Islam gave them religious freedom and these nations fought with early Muslims and this why Islam spread so fast in few years , European nations stood against the Church in Rome and Constantinople but with time the Church was able to spread their political ideology,this period was called the "Darks ages" and it's the Church which made it dark ,later the European renaissace was just an other phase of this struggle.
Europeans today have no idea of their true history simply because the "Catholic Church" especially wiped it out .
I guess you're European I advise you to know you real history❤
@@علي-ش7ث8ب first of all, no, i am not an European.
Secondly, if you are saying that what muslim taught about Jesus was right, then it's contradicting history as they don't believe in the crucifixion. Now, if the crucifixion is real, my question is, why was Jesus crucified?
John, 5:18 - For this reason they tried all the more to kill him; not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God.
John 1:14, 18; John 3:16, 18), Jesus presented himself as Son and not just as one who was the divinely appointed Messiah (and therefore "son" of God). He made himself out to be more than only someone chosen and anointed as divine representative to fulfil an eschatological role in and for the kingdom.
All the apostles were martyred coz of preaching the divinity of Christ. As st. Paul says, If there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith. More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that he raised Christ from the dead.
If Jesus was just a man, i wonder why do people get healed by his name. I wonder, why is there power in that name.
@@xavierdcruze3917
1-The Coran clearly says that Jesus may peace be upon him was crucified but God saved him from this cursed death,I'm not accountable for some Muslims missunderstanding,I only follow what the Coran says(if you want me to explain to you why some Muslims believe that Jesus wasn't crucified I'll be happy to explain that to you)
2-The new testament and the old testament are not a "western" sources,they were borrowed from the "Middle East",when historical sources and religions go from a culture to an other cuture they get misunderstood because the lack of knowledge of culture,language,history,geography,religious creeds of the original land and also due to politics.(new religions are not welcomed and they get absorbed in local cultures)
3-Jesus was a historical figure who influenced all the ancient World and especially what's called now Europe,it's bizzare that this particular region lacks historical sources about such an influential man that modern western historians have started questionning the very existence of Jesus!!you should ask yourself what has happened to these local sources???!!!
4-Why the Church was so scared when the Bible 'which is the only historical source for "Europeans"'was translated and was made accessible for commun people?
The should've been happy because it will spread their creed and made Christianity stronger!!!❤
Tradition on top of tradition on top of tradition created a church so far removed from the real gospel of Christ that it took someone at the time the bible could finally be published to declare to the masses the most obvious thing on earth- the church needs to place itself below scripture, not above it. What a revolution.
@@shellieperreault6262
The scriptures go against all the teachings of the Church
Unfortunately,Christians leave the scriptures and stick to the Church interpretations
These interpretations are deep rooted in their minds that when they read the Bible they can't see what it really tells,
I can't blame them because the Church did a "great" job!
It's not a surprise when the Bible which is the only scriptures left,was translated and was made accessible to commun people the Church was so scared!❤

I’m saying this with love to all who watch this channel...
please make sure you Don’t become a “lost Christian”, constantly trying to figure out WHO the Antichrist is... all while never knowing truly who Jesus is. Make sure you’re seeking to find him, & not getting swept up in this world’s drama. As more time goes on, I’m beginning to see the deception that is evident even here, in the kingdom... Many of us have in a sense, become schizophrenic; seeing things/signs of things, where they don’t even exist. Ask God for discernment, for many false teachers and prophets have gone out into the world, to pervert the gospel, and fool even the elect. Love you all
Amen to that, thank you.
Who is watching this channel and then focusing on the antichrist? Most people in these documentaries are dead

Thank you God for Martin Luther! Thank you Luther for standing up for God and mankind ! Thank you for the reformation! Thanks you for defending sound faith in God and His Word. Long live the Bible! Long live the church! Away with evil and fraudulent religious leaders and their ungodly organisation! God bless Germany for giving the world Dr. Martin Luther .
Thank you for this. I love history. God Bless You. Have A Blessed Day. Stay Safe. Merry Christmas. Happy New Year!
Hi @John Cowie, thanks for your comment. Merry Christmas :)
Brilliant documentary once again. 🙏
What movie is that depiction of Martin Luther from? I would like to watch the original in German for study
Thank you DW, Happy Reformation Day, greeting from Jakarta, Indonesia
Another incredible DW Documentary. Captivating info; wonderfully, and graphically, presented. World class. Thank you! Throughout mankind’s written history there has always been a religious minority. A mis-understood, fighters against religious status quo, and consequently persecuted for their “radical” beliefs. Today is no different.
A wonderful presentation!
I'm so glad I can watch it without believing any of the doctrines of the participants.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
Thanks for the documentary. Can you name this intense music with kyrie eleison between 0:39 and 1:00? It's a mix am sure not one piece of music. Thanks

*Matthew 1:22-23 Now all this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken of the Lord by the prophet, saying, Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.*
Great documentary... thank you🌷🥀
What a great documentary on the founder of Protestantism! Thank you very much for this free resource on TH-cam. Do you have documentaries on the historicity of Moses, the origins of the Old Testament and the nation of Israel, or John Calvin?
Thanks again and God bless DW!
Moses is accepted by the consensus of historians as myth.
“I will go peaceably and firmly to the Catholic Church: for if Faith is so important to our salvation, I will seek it where true Faith first began, seek it among those who received it from God Himself.” (St Elizabeth Anne Seton)
Catholics aren't the original Christian. They just pretend to be because they are the oldest surviving Church with propaganda telling people Jesus created it.
It's the inclusion of folklore and commentary that compromise so much of the "richness" of catholic dogma. The cult of Mary, the rosary, purgatory, relic veneration... Where in life of Jesus do you find any of this??
In the end, all later accretions. Martin Luther were reformers and minimalist, stripping the practice down to basics.
Catholics look too strictly like Pharisees to me? Like what the comment above said they have made up these new religious rituals that don’t have anything to do with preaching the gospel of Christ
You should seek true faith from God, not from any specific denomination tbh
I once told someone that I'm related to Martin Luther. He said "Really? You don't look black."
Do not fear. Have FAITH in Jesus Christ!
It must be interesting to see how Luther humbly added the word "alone" (allein in German) to Romans 3:28 controversially so that it read: "So now we hold, ... alone through faith" The word "alone" does not appear in the Greek texts, but Luther humbly added his theology to the Bible. " It's quite possible that martin Luther may have confused one theological opinion with the officicial teaching of the church and initiated his program of reform on the basis of this misunderstanding" "Biography of John Calvin" Oxford professor Alister McGrath, p. 11. The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it's the illusion of knowledge.
It is true Abraham's faith is enough, but Luther's faith is the same as Luther's faith?
@@Alfredo8059 faith and works! Exactly
“Evangelical” is not Latin. It is Greek coming from the words:
“Ev” meaning good
And the verb “angello” meaning bringing the message.
Therefore, evangelical means: the good message.
The word GOSPEL means the same thing
It is originally Greek, having been borrowed into Latin, and from there into German.
From which movie did they use the clips?
Martin Luther slandered Christians because he said that Catholics believed that you could pay to give your sins forgiven.
catholics aren't real christians. Waldensians or waldenese were the real christians that were slaughtered by catholics. martin luther knew that and that's why he went after catholics
Another masterpiece from DW ... sadly this present world of myopia and materialism is missing the passion and power of men like DR Martin Luther
Good documentary !! Much love to my German brothers from Sweden, you have had such impact on history and the smartest people 💙

@DW What is the Title of the Narrative Film used for this Documentary?
or was it just created and filmed just for this Documentary?
Could you just upload the Narrative Cuts from this Documentary?
It was an episode of the german TV channel "ZDF" called "Die Deutschen". DW just dubbed it and yes all the historian scences were filmed for this documantary.
This is a great documentary about the legacy and contribution of Martin Luther.Resisting and inspiring the people to fight against the abuses of the powerful dogmatic Church and spreading the truth is truly remarkable.This gives me more reason to never ever go back and believe the Catholic Church.
1:14 am 9-15-22
Just try to apply the same standards toward the state today, especially in Germany. ha ha ha. Just try to find truth, freedom from abuses, and peace from the modern state. Lutheranism today is disappearing into yet another woke failure.
What is actor Martin real name?! Please tell
Good job DW entire team god bless you....
If at all anyone is to be conferred “Sainthood” it should have been the good Doctor who threw open Scripture to the world. It has taken the world a full 500 years to realize what a monumental task he did.

They don't ignore him. they've simply never heard of him.

If u like this u will like the story of William Tyndale who battled for British reform and to translate n distribute the bible..there wer som wicked forces at play..its vey sad
Anne Chester "British reformation" is almost complete. Britain is 50% Muslim and 50% Hindu. Apparently, God is not on the heretic side of Christianity :))
@@christiantheone8952 What bs are you going on about 50% muslim and 50% hindu lmao
William Tyndale was a great man of God - - his influence runs very deep not only in England but in English language and culture, that culture spread throughout the world during colonial times and it was based on Tyndale's translation of the Bible, impacting the whole world with the Gospel and English culture (which was heavily influenced by the gospel of Jesus Christ).
@@loksterization Would that be when they where doing the ethnic cleansing around the empire.
It is sad that Germany squandered Luther's legacy. He preached the pure gospel of Jesus Christ. It is incomprehensible that Merkel said: "Islam belongs to Germany"
But that's how it should come. An I won't fear it, because all my faith is in Jesus.
I'll never forget, what Luther has done for germany and for europe. Like you already said "he preached the pure gospel of Jesus Christ". Nice to see another fellow realize what merkel actually said there. May god bless you.

I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God's hands, that I still possess. Martin Luther
I would argue that during the time of the Diet of Worms 1521, it is the Ottoman Sultan who is the most powerful man in the world at the time. Not the Holy Roman Emperor.
He also barely have any power over his subordinate regional princes.
No thanks to the heretics
The Holy Roman Emperor was also the king of Spain and owned large colonies in The Caribbean and New Spain (Mexico). He could have bought the Sultan with the proceeds of one annual treasure fleet.
Jas & Mike, in a way you are right. The religious material regarding the early Jesus community (church, if you will) was hidden during the time of the Emperor Constantine. I do not think it was hidden by him or it would have been destroyed. May have been hidden within the walls by one of the supporters of the Bishops whose position was that God was one, and that Jesus was not the son of God, an that Jesus was seperate from God and below Him. These positions the Monotheistic Bishops, primarily of North Africa, had hidden in the walls of Constantinople. This very important religious knowledge was not found until Constantinople was ruled by the Ottoman Empire. The last of the Christians leaving from that place was given this Christian material to take with them. And was found by the one man who God intended it for. The rest is history. Except that some years after Martin Luther and his strongest supporters had died the old enemies were back corrupting scripture and the work of Luther. For instance the Luther Church and most every other Protestant Church now accepts a 3 in 1 God, the Pope as God of the earth, and all of the other centuries old fables that will take them to the hellfire.
@@rembrandt972ify The Roman Empire and the Ottoman Empire were both run by Emperors, both after the wealth and power. Both corrupting religious scripture.
Charles V beat the ottomans at Vienna starting the ottoman decline at Europe.

This documentary limits what Luther did for Germany. His influence is so far above and beyond Germany.
thank you. beautifully made documentary.
Hi there... how are you doing? Hope you are fine and staying safe??
Totally agree with you!
Brilliant teaching of history - but WHY, WHY, WHY do we have to put up with the constant background noise which adds nothing to the programme - we endure the 'noise man' to get at the facts. It's Irritating.
Luther was a great man! God bless Luther, and may us follow and pray to god and our lord christ, and not idols or "saints"!

@CATHOLIC for EVER He is a more moral person than a lot of the old popes. Become Orthodox brother, follow the original most conservative branch of Christianity.
@CATHOLIC for EVER who told you that. Lol. He was a godly man and freed the church from its evil money and power seeling popes.
He followed the word of God. I read his biography he truly was a godly man.
