What Was the Reformation All About?

More than 500 years ago, a monk named Martin Luther started a protest that exploded into a worldwide movement. In this short video, R.C. Sproul explains the Reformation. Share it with your family and friends and listen in a wide variety of languages.

I missed RC. He is the modern reformer of our day!

[reformedcatholic]

Love it. Full of biblical truth. Rome taught false doctrines of a false gospel, a false doctrine of the papacy and a low view of God's Word they said it was Scripture and tradition which is wrong. The Reformation recovered the Gospel and expository preaching. Thank God for the Reformation.

Thank God for those who gave everything they had, to get the Word of truth into our hands; something I sometime take for granted. 🕊

I am reformed by the same route of Luther by reading the Bible and spending the time to read others who did.

John 1:1~3

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God!

He was with God in the beginning.

Through Him All things were made ; without Him Nothing was made that has been made!

John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made His dwelling among us.
We have seen His Glory, the Glory of the One and Only Son, Who came from the Father, Full of Grace and Truth !

Recently, I have been reading some of the comments for various videos on You Tube. I have found some interesting patterns. First, most of the comments are either very angry or just saying what a great video it is. I don't see any point in either, because it doesn't help anyone. You can just give a thump up or down for that. Second, most of the people who don't like something, say it is bunch of lies or propaganda or ani-this or anti-that. Again, if you're sure, especially about important matters such as what is said in this video, you better have some reasons, or at least one, to falsify or disprove the historical facts mentioned here. The very thing that RC says in the video, namely that most of the people do not read the Bible, proves true by merely reading the comments and threads. Rarely can we see some real arguments happening, which is a shame.

Hi Ligonier! Can I translate this video in Filipino? Will make sure to provide proper credits. Thanks.

[sharpshooter]

Martin Luther didn’t like how the church let people get away with any crime if they had money...

[edsweeney]

CONTEXT is always at the convenience of the messenger....the first bible was not even printed until 1450 or so, and then available only to a few, so saying that the 'bible was KEPT from people' is intellectually dishonest. "And I tell you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My church, and the gates of Hades will not prevail against it." Matthew 16:18

Hi, can I have your permission to translate this video in Indonesian and share it for Sunday Service with proper credit? Thank you.

[williamjayaraj]

That is about the reformation in a nutshell. Thanks.

[waysidebaptistchurchlakewa]

Can we share this video in our church?

Martin Luther...saw great evil being done, but went about combating it in an unrighteous way and in a confused state of mind. The Church was further divided... Pieces of the Holy Scripture went missing because they didn't match up with certain human ideals... What happened to miracles? The saints in Heaven as role-models and prayer warriors? Mary as our Mother? (John 19:27) The Holy Sacraments? The "12" fruits of the Holy Spirit- Modesty, Chasity, Goodness, etc? Why were John, James, Hebrews, and Revelations put into an appendix? The Book of Wisdom disappeared? Sacred Tradition?

Well thank the Author of Humanity! Thank the Messiah! Thank the Holy Spirit for the perseverance, in Faith, Hope, and Charity, of God's One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church!

God, please bless all my Christian brothers and sisters. May their sanctifying grace grow and may You reveal to them all the Truth that was lost. May all Your people continue to know You, love You, and serve You. Amen. In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
