Diet of Worms

All heathen, philosophic, Muslim, and Mormon religions are false because according to all of them, man must do this or that in order to earn salvation. Only the Christian religion says the contrary, stands in opposition to all other religions in the world, and has human nature as its enemy. This nature is blind in its understanding, an enemy of God in its will, and a rebel against God in its desires. People listen approvingly when they are told the following: By nature you are good, your inner being is good. Follow the basic principles of good conduct, love and help your neighbor, in order to become acceptable before God. We Christians do not believe that. Only hypocrites believe, for example, that they attend church in order to be pious. We attend church not really to serve God, but rather that He may serve us there; not to create righteousness but to receive it from God.
