A few days ago, it was the fifty-first anniversary of the arrest of Martin Luther, the founder of the Protestant Reformation and the initiator of the most important social movements in modern American history, the movement that defended social justice and the fight against racism, economic exploitation, and American involvement abroad, and warned his country of the widening gap between the rich and the poor due to the money it costs the budget. As a result of this intervention.
Luther was born in Germany and obtained a doctorate in the foundations of religion and the Bible from the University of Erfurt. He was considered the first to launch the era of reform in Europe after his objection to the Catholic Church selling indulgences to the poor to be saved from their sins.
Luther believes that obtaining salvation and forgiveness of sins is a blessing from God that He grants to His servants, and it is not one of its conditions to obtain these instruments. He added that God grants forgiveness without any good deed, and it is not permissible for followers of Christ to accept false guarantees sold by the Church to obtain money to build St. Peter’s Cathedral in Rome. The money of the poor, which angered the Pope, issued a decree banishing him and burning all his books.
Luther challenged the Catholic Church to trade in indulgences and pardon of sins for the simple, and that the Church is an intermediary between man and God. He wrote 95 objections that he hung on the door of the Church, in which he stated that the Church does not have the right and does not have a mandate that allows it to do what it does.
He was known for his hostility to the Jews and the Semites, describing them as a people who refused to accept Christ and were involved in his murder. He considered them unbelievers because they did not recognize Jesus. He demanded in his writings the restriction of their freedoms and the burning of their churches and homes. As a result of the emergence of Protestant thought at his hands, a series of bloody conflicts occurred between him and the Catholics, in which more than 8 people were killed. Millions were killed and left behind great devastation.
America benefited from Martin Luther's thought that religious conflict could be used as a weapon to implement colonial plans in the Middle East region, but it did not believe in his ideas calling for reform and still interfered in the affairs of other countries and developed the concept of indulgences for Middle Eastern countries in order to satisfy the Semites of the Third World countries, based on The Deal of the Century and America's standing with Israel in its war on Gaza came to confirm that America is going backwards, and the countries in conflict with Israel must accept these instruments until the American Pope is satisfied with them and does not throw themselves into destruction, or they unite and strike them with the blow of one man, and their blood is dispersed among the tribes
