Martin Luther didnt leave the church to start Lutheranism. He was thrown out of the church for trying to fix it. He didnt start Lutheranism, he promoted the bible and exposed the Catholic faith’s failures. His followers started Lutheranism.

Some fundamental doctrines of Catholics are very didactic in what rules one should follow… The old saying goes, “repent and be forgiven of all sins, and all who do go to heaven,” right. This can be well illustrated in the inferno test (Dante’s The Divine Comedy…) But I think Luther ultimately means when he says, it is better to be a Lutheran in life is, since he was theologian scholar, he may have thought his beliefs were superior or more cognitive faith to follow when it comes to contradiction. Although I find it absurd to compare the two religions now from such an old quote. Grading religions usually is a losing battle when living in a pluralistic society.

He wouldn’t want her to become a lutheran, if she didn’t believe.
