Re: Are Independent Churches Operating in Rebellio
Yes, he was.
"Rebellion is a refusal of obedience[1].It may therefore be seen as encompassing a range of behaviours from civil disobedience and mass nonviolent resistance, to violent and organized attempts to destroy an established authority such as the government. Those who participate in rebellions are known as "rebels"."
Wikipedia
Luther was a "rebel" in every sense of the word, and I am not saying that's a bad thing.
When our country rebelled against tyranny reams of scripture were used to justify the rebellion.
How would that apply in a religious organizational setting?
Was Luther justified?
Are those who leave religious organizational structures justified?
