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.

Wait... while it's true that the word Protestant came from the word PROTEST, it also came from latin word PRO-TESTANUM or 'Back To The Testament' since latin language is always have weird ways to make acronym, then it was shorten into 'PROTESTANT' or 'The People Who Chooses To Back To The Testament'...
.
Btw, sorry for my bad english..

Guys, thank you for these movies, but you miss the point of this story. The main reason for the reformation was as you said ultimate authority of the bible, accessibility of the bible and salvation by faith alone. It was not about "every one defines his own truth or believes in whatever he wishes"

[angelusvastator]

I admire the tenacity of the Protestants

[benchernjavsky]

They act like all christians of the time were Roman Catholic they dont even mention the Eastern Orthodox Church which accounted for half the Christians of the time.

[dorinaachelaritei]

CHRISTIANITY had been split way before Luther and the protestant movement: in 1054, when the East (orthodox) - West (catholic) Schism took place.

[arrowghost]

That is one amazing history to learn. However, you forgot to count in the Orthodox Church, it needs to be analyzed like in this video on how Protestants were formed.

[prollymarkus]

thanks for giving us videos to watch mr. heil, best history teacher i’ve ever had

[Jesusis_theway]

Wow. As a Lutherian I didnt even know some of these things. Back then people didnt have personal bibles or ones in their native tongues.... (head explodes).

[twitch]

Protestant Christians are where it’s at 👌

[dangosandlemons]

Even if I'm here from the teachers, I'm actually interested in renaissance stuff lol

[RangdajiedSutong]

Thanks to the channel for the quick summary on Protestant Reformation.

Luther removed some books because it doesn't fit for his "faith alone" 👁️👄👁️

[TheKimpawlee]

I praise God for using this Martin.
When I was a catholic, no one from that cult taught me to test my faith, all they say is to follow cause if you dont, youre evil. But everything change when I started to read and read, critique the teaching and what Is more amazing is, I met Jesus Christ and became my lord and savior. And I am here now, liberating my faith to God alone, not for the church I am belong, the bible is my guide and the Holy Spirit.

[vadymtymofiienko]

Anybody here whose curiosity and interest brought them here?

[sachps]

2:22 I love that painting, it is so beautiful, does anybody know what it is called or where i can learn more about it?

[seanhardman]
