THE ADVENT TRUTH
The irony is you’re using his name without knowing his faith. Martin Luther didn’t belong to Rome—he belonged to the Word of God. He stood against traditions that had no foundation in Scripture. That’s the same thing Seventh-day Adventists do today. We test every teaching—Sunday sacredness, the immortality of the soul, purgatory, infant baptism—by the Bible alone.
Luther’s cry of Sola Scriptura means “the Bible and the Bible only.” If he lived today, he’d call out churches that claim to follow Christ yet replace His commandments with man-made ones. He would never defend a day of worship that God never blessed or commanded. The Sabbath is in the Ten Commandments—written by God’s own finger (Exodus 20:8-11). Sunday came from Rome, not from Christ.
Luther believed salvation was by grace through faith, not by indulgences, not by priests. That’s what we preach. He believed the dead sleep until the resurrection (see his Lectures on Genesis). That’s what we teach. He warned that the Papacy fulfilled the description of the “man of sin” in 2 Thessalonians 2. So do we. The difference is we’ve followed that prophetic line further, into Revelation, to show how the final conflict centers on worship and obedience to God versus allegiance to man.
So before mocking, study what Luther actually believed. The reformers lit a torch that Adventists still carry—not because we idolize them, but because we love the same truth they died for: the authority of Scripture above tradition.
“Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path.” — Psalm 119:105
