“If I had to baptize a Jew, I would take him to the river Elbe, hang a stone around his neck and push him over with the words `I baptize thee in the name of Abraham’.”
– Martin Luther
.
Let’s take a look at the two so-called great reformers of the protestant reformation:
1. Martin Luther was a false teacher, a racist, a persecutor and a murderer!
2. John Calvin was a false teacher, a deranged tyrant, a persecutor and a murderer!
The Protestant Reformation was a farce!

Martin Luther was not a great reformer like the history books teach, but he was a fraud!
Here are some quotes from Luther which shows that he taught the heresy of Once Saved Always Saved:
“Be a sinner and sin boldly, but believe and rejoice in Christ even more boldly for he is victorious over sin, death, and the world. As long as we are here in this world we have to sin. This life is not a dwelling place of righteousness”
“No sin will separate us from the lamb, even though we commit fornication and murder a thousand times a day.” …
“your sin cannot cast you into hell” …
LUTHER WAS AN ANTI-SEMITE
Here are some quite shocking quotes from Luther which show that he was a rabid anti-Semite:
“The Jews deserve to be hanged on gallows, seven times higher than ordinary thieves”
“We ought to take revenge on the Jews and kill them.” …
“eject them forever from this country” …
“What then shall we do with this damned, rejected race of Jews?”
“Such a desperate, thoroughly evil, poisonous, and devilish lot are these Jews”
“They are the real liars and bloodhounds”
“We are at fault for not slaying them.”
“I shall give you my sincere advice: first to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them.”
“Second, I advise that their houses also be razed and destroyed.”
“Fifth, I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews.” …
“If I had to baptize a Jew, I would take him to the river Elbe, hang a stone around his neck and push him over with the words `I baptize thee in the name of Abraham’.”
Martin Luther was not a Christian man, but, instead, he was a brutal man who persecuted the Jews unmercifully.
The word of God calls Martin Luther a liar:
1John 4:20- If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?
LUTHER CONDONED THE DEATHS OF A 100,000 PEASANTS
The peasants of Germany revolted in 1525 because of their miserable living conditions and were slaughtered at the behest of Martin Luther!
Here is a quote from Luther that will send chills up your spine:
“They should be knocked to pieces, strangled and stabbed, secretly and openly, by everybody who can do it, just as one must kill a mad dog!”
Are these the words of a Christian and a great reformer? I think not! Luther was an evil man who urged the slaughter of the poor who had revolted. He told people to knock the peasants to pieces and strangle and stab them. 100,000 German peasants were horribly slaughtered in the revolt!
JOHN CALVIN WAS A MURDERER
Not only was the founder of Calvinism, John Calvin, a great deceiver, but he was also a murderer!
Here are John Calvin’s own words about Michael Servetus: …
[See: John Calvin Had Servetus Burned at the Stake — His Ashes Cry Out!]
John Calvin was not a Christian, my friends, but he was an egotistical tyrant and a cold-blooded killer!
How anyone can follow the warped teachings of this deranged monster from the past is beyond belief. …
In five years, 1542-46, Geneva, with 16,000 inhabitants, had fifty-seven executions and seventy-six banishments. All these sentences were sanctioned by John Calvin.

Excellent points.
Many “Protestants” will willingly proclaim Rome to be the babylonian religious system.
And they are correct. (A good book that utterly proves it is Alexander Hislop’s The Two Babylons)
The problem is they never ask themselves who the many daughters of Rome are! Never understanding that it was a Protestant REFORMING of pagan sun god worship, and not a separation from it.
If you get a chance, google “The Jonah Code” and watch it, it is about 8 hours long but divided up on youtube, one of the best teachings on the net.

Hislops’ Two Babylons is a fraud. A book called Babylon Connection? examines and refutes Hislop’s (bad) use of source material. It is a retraction of his earlier work, Babylon Mystery Religion.

“The Jonah Code” is done by none other than Michael Rood, who is no stranger to heresy! http://www.isitso.org/guide/rood.html
And speaking of heresy…. Jeff, you sourced this article to http://www.sullivan-county.com/identity/reformers.htm
They (sullivan-county.com) also source out some of their articles, specifically one on Martin Luther that is almost a repeat of everything in this article.
The source they give is http://www.jesustheheresy.com/
And here is what jesustheheresy.com has to say about themselves…
‘We at jesustheheresy.com are committed to rediscover the
Jesus of history. A Jesus stripped of dogma, unfettered by preconceptions of the right and the left.
In an era of heightened economic and political disfunction, we look not for Jesus the tycoon or Jesus the homeless. Not for Jesus the Republican nor for Jesus the Democrat. But rather, a Jesus who inspires the faithful and facinates the skeptical. To recover a Jesus pertinent for today.
If that’s not enough, go further and pursue God’s kingdom economy, reconsider the question of eternal damnation, the kindred spirit of Islam and Christianity, and the case to re-boot Christianity.’

jotham,
I’m concerned with the facts about Luther and Calvin.

I’m with you Jeff in defending the doctrine… But sometimes even defenders can misstep. I appreciate your zeal and the work you do to research and inform. Keep up the good work 🙂

For sure, there are times when sources matter. But when it comes to history, what matters are the facts. And if my facts are ever incorrect I absolutely do want to know. And when the sources matter, I’d like to know that too. But here, the issue is: did Luther and Calvin do this or not?
Many ‘Christians’ aren’t willing to touch Luther and Calvin; even though, they were false teachers, because their teachings are still so popular — which is really why we should be telling the truth about Luther and Calvin even more.
I was raised under the Lutheran teaching that Luther was a great man of God, and he was in how he boldly stood up to the Catholic church. But Luther’s own overreaction destroyed him spiritually. Instead of making sure he lived holy and walked according to the Spirit, he thought he’d be saved no matter what, so he actually became a very evil man, filled with hate and vengeance.
This is happening to many Americans right now. If it’s not hate, it’s lust, or money, or power, lying, envy, etc.. Few ‘Christians’ are really overcoming sin these days, having been falsely taught they don’t have to in order to be a going-to-heaven Christian.
Lutheran seminaries aren’t going to tell their students the truth about Luther, nor will Calvinist seminaries teach the truth about Calvin. Students would question. Only professors who keep the myths stay in favor with the system and keep their jobs. I did recently talk to my favorite Lutheran pastor from high school, lately, though, and he did know some of these things about Luther.
The seminary I attended (but didn’t finish) was Calvinist. I never heard a bad word about Calvin; though, a Ph.D. friend of mine studied Calvin’s original writings, and says that Calvin was detestable in his character. Most of the few ‘Christians’ who are in the know won’t say this. They don’t want to rock the boat. They’re afraid to speak out, and/or don’t see the great need to.
I applaud those who tell the truth, whether they fully agree with what we believe or not. The word needs to get out. Billions of people have been deceived for five centuries, now.
The truth will set us free.
