20. The Life of Martin Luther (part 1)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 гру 2013
- The Reformation was triggered by Martin Luther's objections to the sale of indulgences, objections he distilled in his 95 Theses. The simple propositions swept through Europe in just a few months, sparking one of the greatest turning points in all of world history, and thrusting Luther himself into the center of the upheaval. In this lecture Bruce Gore traces the early history of Luther, finishing up with the Diet of Worms in 1521, where Luther gave his famous "Here I Stand" speech.
Thank you keeping these videos up. Watching in 2022, in recognition of Reformation Day. Excellent series!

Bruce,
I spend my day as a photographer taking pictures of product and listening to your church history lectures. Thank you so very much. It not only passes the time, but fills my mind and heart with historical truths. You are a blessing. - Tom
My friend, a comment like yours makes it all worth it. Thank you!
I appreciate all that you have done, and your faithfulness to learning. I enjoy your historical videos concerning the church and biblical prophecy. I have learned a lot through your education. Even my grandfather enjoys watching. He is a anointed and filled with the Holy Spirit teacher of the Word of GOD and he doesn’t care to listen to many people but he found your videos and him and I listened to nearly 4 hours worth in a single day. GOD bless you brother! Continue strongly in the faith.
Thank you! and please give my warm regards to your grandfather!
Thanks for sharing. Martin Luther’s inner struggle with his sins reminds me of two books I’ve read. The War is Over by Andrew Wommack and The Divine Gift of Forgiveness by Neil L. Andersen.
It's wonderful to see your lectures here on You Tube. I'm learning quite a bit. Thanks so much. Your are very knowledgeable in the subject matter and a skilled lecturer. Love it!!
Thank you!
You are a master teacher, and im very grateful for you.
Perhaps the most underrated channel on UA-cam
Very brilliant and interesting, Mr. Gore. Blessings from Ethiopia.
I am delighted to hear from you. Thank you!
Hello Mr. Gore
Thank you for this incredible video of Marti Luther's early life. I look forward to seeing any others you would produce.
As a life long Lutheran I'm fascinated by the power of one man who ultimately changed the whole world. He truly was chosen by GOD to lead by example and teach Christians everywhere to be bold in your beliefs.
Pretty lofty goal 500 years ago and still pertinent today.
Thank you for putting your style of humor into this lesson for the immediate audience to enjoy making this a lasting impression for all who see and hear it. Bravo !
Respectfully,
Charles Hugh Bryan.
I deeply appreciate your kind feedback, sir. Thank you!
These lectures couldn’t be any better.
...well, the jury is still out on that one, but I appreciate very much the kind feedback. Thanks!
Thank you for all the lectures.
The life of Martin Luther is a complex subject with many aspects. Many people insist on the problem with Indulgences which is simple to understand. In fact Indulgences were introduced earlier on and were systematically use a financing tool for Crusaders and big construction works. In many countries, in our days, churches ask for money in order to do something important. As regarding Crusaders, they had to pay from their own money the trip to Palestine, to pay for horses, servants and other expenses. The endeavor was very risky and the reward was mainly the salvation of the soul plus the spoils of the war. For somebody who could not go to fight the Catolic Church invented the mechanism to have erased the confessed sins against a payment. Money collected were used to help the crusade. Of course, in time the abuse of indulgences, mainly through commercialization, had become a serious problem which the Church recognized but was unable to restrain effectively. One important and decisive split from the Catolic Church, among others, was the ideea that a person does not need an intermediary (a priest) if he want to be a Christian. It is needed only the Holly Bible and the literacy. By reading and understanding the Bible a person would Become a Christian. I think the issue with Indulgences was secondary.
You are really leave hangover here....
Really Exited to listen to the next chapter..... 🙏
Must have been a joy to talk of Luther and the early days of the Reformation!
these are so interesting, thanks!!
It is a great teaching, full of passion and insight. Wish we hae such communications many places.
Thanks for your kind words!
Thank you, and God bless 🙏
I hear the echoes from the early Christian training manual "The Didache" in the 95 Theses, in particular the railing against "Christ Peddlers" (or "Christ Traffickers" in some translations). I also hear an implied condemnation of Televangelists within the 95 Theses. Luther therefore revived some forgotten old Patristic ideas of the Early Church.
I wonder what on the 95 thesis was worth the revolt that turned communities of brethren into persecution against more often Catholics over the last 500 years.
It seems the sacraments withheld for Covid19 and then an outbreak of revolt of such degree in "Sacrament"o and tearing down monuments
I wonder if God has something to say here.
@@katiehav1209 "Oh what a work of art is man!" William had it right. The most sophisticated and well educated our society ever was, yet conscience for oneself has all but disappeared for the sake of the mob. As Bruce has mentioned before, it is through Christ that more hospitals and humanitarian efforts have been accomplished in history. I am really starting to think that Christ is that inner conscience with each person that guides them to make the proper choices in life. Without it, you see the social dishevel which is happening currently.
Excellent !!!
Thank you very much.
Very good! Raised Seventh Day Adventist, converted Lutheran for the past 23 years..
Hi Pastor Gore. I have messaged you before. I am a Baptist pastor. I showed the movie "Luther" to the secondary students of our Christian School.They loved it. It seems to be pretty accurate according to a previous biography I had read. Do you think it is accurate?
I was pretty impressed with the movie's accuracy historically. I thought, however, that the personality of Luther was portrayed as a bit too reserved and even melancholy. Luther was robust, bigger than life, at bit outrageous, and full of humor. Most of those elements I thought were inadequately presented.
There is 1953 version that I think nails Luther. Even though I believe it was made for tv, it’s my favorite movie version.
I bought two copies of your book. Great synopsis of Bible history. I’m wondering how your book sales are going ?
I would also be interested if you could put CD’s or DVD’s together of your teachings and sell those.
Possibly taking these teachings systematically from the OT through the NT and up until and through the founding of the nation
Thanks for the suggestions. I prefer to give away as much as I can at no charge. God has blessed me much more than I expected (or deserved), and I don't have much interest in making more money.
What books that Mr Bruce wrote?
I am interested to read those.
@@Jocky8807 me too!
@@Jocky8807 maybe on his website… I haven’t checked yet.
You're welcom Mr Gore.
In regards to what was posted below about a reference to your lecture on Luther....the work I refered you to is D'Aubigne's History of the Reformation, Vol 1.
25:14 - Amen
Hi Mr Gore, awesome videos ; have a question: Do you have transcripts for this videos??
Thanks for the feedback! There are no transcripts for these lectures beyond the displayed PowerPoints. UA-cam, however, includes a function that will attempt to reduce the speed to written form, and I believe that transcript can be retained. Thanks again.
@@GoreBruce
Also he could purchase a copy of your book. You should promote your book more
A very rich well presented series on Martin Luther Mr. Gore.
I hope you will find the following helpful, and not done in a manner of neglect, or respect of the good work presented in these videos on Martin Luther. I like you and others rely on information that has, in spite of its research, misrepresented certain things simply because of the volume of information pertaining to what is being discussed, and availability or lack of at the time of discussion. Like Luther, we start out in pursuit of truth, and grow in its knowledge with the passing of time, weeding out this and that in our travels. That being said I present the following for your edification in regard to Luther's debate with Dr. Eck at Leipzig/Lepsic.
Eck didn't "paint Luther into any corner" in this debate in any manner. Eck's only hope in this debate was to fall back on heretical Roman Catholic papal supremacy, and infallibility hoping that Luther would be intimidated by this terror, and by his reputation, especially in his own eyes, as a great R.C. theologian. The indulgence issue was one that Eck wanted to avoid at all cost seeing that so much opposition had come forth against it even in circles that closely aligned itself with papal authority.
Luther didn't come into this debate blind to the only card Eck had left in his deck of deceit. He very conscientiously and willingly went forward to establish the truth of Scripture that spoke against any self appointed earthly head of the church who's presumption of infallibility, and earthly lordship made him anathema to all truth.
Eck admitted that he had been conquered by Luther on several points. "The Wittenbergers," wrote he to Hochstraten, "conquered me on several points." Luther summed up the debate this way: " Here is the conclusion of the matter at Lepsic: " all that I can say to clear up the subject is this, Dr Eck never ceased bawling, and the Leipsic divines did nothing but hold their tongues." (D'Aubigne)
Eck and his divines tore into each other after the debate each hoping for vain glory and supremacy in what they were lauding as a victory. Eck's relied more on insult, sarcasm, twisting of Luther's statements, and playing on the minds of those present that were easily influenced by antics more prescribed to the court fool than to a theologian.
Luther was the master of every point contested by the sword of truth, and the shield of faith in God's Word, which in every case will drive error, and people like Eck into a corner they can in no wise escape with any sound reason, or doctrine.
The witty and wise Moscellanius said: "Eck is the conqueror in the eyes of those who do not understand the matter, and who have grown gray under the old school men, but Luther and Carlstadt are victorious in the opinion of those who possess any learning, understanding, and modesty." (D'Aubigne)
May I add my hearty amen to this statement by Moscellanius.
Eck's lofty opinion of himself being superior to all men in intellect is always the substance of pride that goes before a fall. And Eck did just that at Liepsic as much as Satan fell in his exalting of himself, and grandstanding before God Almighty.
Luther's complete victory at Leipsic was just another indication of God's Word destroying all that is false. All devotion to truth bears fruit. Every lie, like Eck's many lies, only brings forth death.
Luther's words had sunk with irresistible power into the minds of his hearers. Many who thronged the halls of Leipsic where subdued by the truth. It was especially in the midst of truth's most determined adversaries (Eck and company) that its victory was gained. Dr Eck's secretary, familiar friend, and disciple Poliander, was won to the Reformation, and in the year 1522, he publicly preached the Gospel at Leipsic. (D'Aubigne)
Cellarius, a Hebrew professor, a man once violently opposed to Luther and reform doctrines was so touched by Luther's eloquent words that he searched the Scriptures more deeply. He finally gave up his station and went to Wittemberg to study humbly at Luther's feet and afterward pastored at Frankfort and at Dresdan. (D'Aubgine)
Duke George of Anhalt, a twelve year prince present at Liepsic, was awakened by this debate to serious reflections, and excited a partiality for Luther. (D'Aubigne)
Eck's so called skillful maneuvering at Leipsic only advanced, as it only could, the cause of God's Hand in the Reformation through Luther, which prospered and destroyed the bondage of tyrannical popery.
This is in part the story of Luther and Eck at Leipsic. It is note worthy that at every instance where popery and Rome faced God's Word in Scripture presented by men of God during the days where the church and society were coming out of a very dark age, she turned her back on truth, and only tried to suppress it by any means possible. Such is still the case today.
+David Kaus Thank you! That is very helpful detail!
I'm enjoying this lecture very much. You have one fact so far that is incorrect. When Luther went before Cajetan he went without any protection whatsoever. Once at Augsburg, Luther was advised by friends to ask for safe passage before appearing before Cajetan. See Henri Merele D'Aubigne, Vol 1.
+David Kaus Very helpful...thank you!
🇩🇿📚
I think that's a picture of Frederick III, Elector of Saxony, not Cardinal Cajetan. But far worse than mistaking the two is being one of the few geeks on the planet that would actually notice. LOL!
Some folks think I'm old enough to have been there and taken the picture!
Same here. That's how I knew it was Prince Frederick -- I remember him from high school. haha!
ZZ Stop A
Luther got a lot wrong too.
