Romans 1​

16 I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. ​

17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “BUT THE RIGHTEOUS man SHALL LIVE BY FAITH.” ​

A carbon copy of the first century reformation. The first is the standard (sola scriptura) Still doing its work .

Whenever two or three gather under the hearing of all things writen in the law and prophets(sola scriptura) He is there teaching informing empowering believers .

You could say daily reforming restoring his Faithful authority (as it is written) The hidden gospel manna . Taste like honey

I have mixed emotions about Luther.
On the one hand he encouraged thoughts on some things that should be questioned, and on the other hand he encouraged some wicked oppressions towards Jews.
So I see him as a man that started out with heroic good intentions and ended up being a monster.
Religious fervor taken too far did that to a lot of men.

It would seem Luther was upholding the gospel key as it is written .

Faith unseen power.

The same key given to Peter who was deceived by Satan the antichrist (another teaching authroity) other than sola scriptura. Peter in Mathew 16 in effect unlocked the gates of hell, as a false prophet he rebuked our unseen Holy Father the Lord of lords and forbid Jesus the Son of man from doing the will of the invisible head.

The cause of the first century reformation. No adding or subtracting from all things writen in the law and prophets Sola Scriptural.

Those who put their trust as faith in the temporal things seen tried to call sola scriptura heresy .so they could continue to refuse to believe in a invisible God Emanuel working in dying mankind ..

Peter was forgiven of his blasphemy toward the Son of man Jesus dying mankind .No forgiveness against the unseen eternal Holy Spirit .

The 33 year window closed when the Son of man Jesus left .

Sola scriptura the final authority in matters of faith . . . the unseen eternal power.

The faithful Father working in any family where two or thee or two gather under the authority of the living word (a family) .He is there working with us the smallest denomination or two or two or three million a larger family of God. . same power.

Acts 24:13 Neither can they prove the things whereof they now accuse me. But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:

Matthew 18:20 For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.
