The name 'Lutheran' was given to people who followed Martin Luther in the reformation of the church. They believed that Martin Luther was right in his interpretation of the Bible.
The Lutheran Church is described by having been begun by Martin Luther in 1517. The Reformation was the movement which gave rise to Protestant churches and the decline of the power of Roman Catholicism. The Reformation sought to "reform" Christianity by returning it to original beliefs based solely on reference to the Bible, eliminating later additions which accumulated in tradition.

Lutherans are Christians. There are about 60 million Lutherans throughout the world. Most of them live in Europe and the USA. There are over 8 million Lutherans living in the USA. In Australia and New Zealand over 255,000 people call themselves Lutherans.
Some example of what Lutherans believe is:
• We are saved by the grace of God alone -- not by anything we do;
• Our salvation is through faith alone -- we only need to believe that our sins are forgiven for Christ's sake, who died to redeem us;
• The Bible is the only norm of doctrine and life -- the only true standard by which teachings and doctrines are to be judged.
• Scriptures and worship need to be done in the language of the people.

Get the Luther Delacroix mug.luther jackson is full of try-hard non-white people and annoying, basic white people. tbh some of y’all are cute but 7th graders are all try hard, wannabe weirdos who either want to fit in or pretend to be a special snowflake and say that they don’t want to be popular because “a small friend group is better.” eighth graders all have the same hair cut and think they’re trendy. this school needs some individuality. everyone tries to look cool with trendy clothes and saying the n word. white people here just don’t fit in unless they’re not from america.

Get the Lutheran mug.a hard working person, who is trying to make the best out of life with the little things hes got. Hes a kind, caring, warm,lighthearted person who always has faith in every person he knows and when you have the opportunity to spend time with him even if its 5 minutes , he has a special gift ( funny personality) and he'll knock the socks off ya.
