Essay / Essay on Martin Luther and the Radical Reformation - 1463
A hundred years ago, racial mixing was almost the ultimate crime. Minorities like African Americans, Mexicans, etc. were completely segregated from Caucasians before a young man named Martin Luther King Jr. decided to make a change in 1955 and unify the country regardless of race. Ironically, four centuries earlier, another young man, Martin Luther, had decided to also make history. In the 16th century, Martin Luther launched the Radical Reformation.

In this case, it drives people away from “the church.” It's great for Christian brothers to fellowship together, but it doesn't say in the Bible that this fellowship should take place within the four walls of a well-known church. In the Bible it actually says in Matthew 18:20, “For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.” » The same Jesus is among two Christians sitting in a restaurant, speaking of his word and testifying to his goodness as well as to the church which is filled with a hundred people every Sunday.
