Believe Jesus, therefore, we obey the Church

Luther:
Why should unregenerate idolaters,
who put their faith in the papacy and religious ceremonies, instead of Jesus, be saved?

I don't know anyone like that. Certainly no Catholics. We place our faith in the Pope and religious ceremonies BECAUSE of our faith in Jesus.

It is just that I know, as I have read the scriptures

Its one thing to read the Scriptures. Something totally different to understand them:

2 Peter 3:16

King James Version (KJV)
¹⁶ As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction.

Sincerely,

De Maria
