A New Reformation to Counter-Attack the Great Gates of Hell?
Martin Luther warns modern-day parents
By Julio
Severo
Upon signing the
Declaration of Independence, Samuel Adams stated: “This day, I trust, the reign
of political Protestantism will commence.” The 56 signers were mostly
Protestant.
According to New
York University Professor Emeritus Patricia Bonomi: “The colonists were about
98 percent Protestant.”
British
Statesman Edmund Burke addressed Parliament, 1775: “All Protestantism… is a
sort of dissent. But the religion most prevalent in our Northern Colonies is a
refinement on the principle of resistance; it is the dissidence of dissent, and
the Protestantism of the Protestant religion.”
The reign of
political Protestantism in America began to decline when liberalism invaded
churches, and there was little dissidence; and when a State-centered education replaced
a family-centered education, with minimal dissidence from churches and families.
Today, for the
first time in its history, the United States does not have a Protestant
majority, according to a recent AP report. While liberalism is increasing in
its Protestant churches, the US is seeing the decline of their members and many
of their leaders dissenting from the Gospel itself.
Of course, this
is a far cry from the original Reformers, who dissented from evil for the
Gospel’s sake.
Protestantism
traces its origins to October 31, 1517, when Martin Luther posted 95 questions
on the door of Wittenberg Church. Summoned to stand trial before 21-year-old
Emperor Charles V, Luther was declared an outlaw. Frederick of Saxony hid him
in Wartburg castle where he translated the New Testament into German.
Luther later
wrote: “I am much afraid that schools will prove to be the great gates of hell
unless they diligently labor in explaining the Holy Scriptures, engraving them
in the hearts of youth.”
Peoples and
nations heeded Luther’s warning in the 95 questions, and the result was
blessings for them through the free reading and interpretation of the Bible.
The first warning was essential for his time.
His second
warning is to peoples and nations in our times. Modern schools make no effort
to explain or engrave the Bible in the hearts of youth. On the contrary,
schools have been engraving homosexuality and other perversions in the hearts
of youth.
Schools have
effectively become great gates of hell. And you do not need to heed the
prophetic voice of a German man of five hundred years ago.
The evidence and
result of these great gates of hell are in the minds and hearts of many
Protestant children, and Catholic children, and non-Christian children.
It is time to
heed Luther again.
It is time to
rescue your children from the great gates of hell and make your home a school.
Make your home great
gates of Heaven.
Heed Luther.
Dissent and oppose
the great gates of hell.
Choose
homeschooling.
