It is amusing when Johnny-come-lately religions think they have somehow been chosen to interpret the Bible for the rest of us.

I can't help but ask them: Do you follow Martin Luther or Jesus Christ?

There is no 'use by' date on the issues of redemption nor truth.

Martin Luther became the only choice to get to and ILLUSTRATE that redemption and truth...

Anything else you conjure (and 'conjure' fits perfectly) is not coming from the source of redemption and truth..

and it shows forever, 'use by' dates be damned.

Blindness is intentional, a choice, same as the conjuring..

Stupid strawman question.

There isn't a church out there that worships Martin Luther.

Protestant churches worship God and Jesus. They have differing views on how to do that.

Martin Luther had issues with the church of his time selling forgiveness and spending lavishly on temples and decorations, among other things.

No church is perfect, as they are run by men.

I'm not sure if you heard of a little movement called the Protestant Reformation, but one of the key words was "reformation", in which the reformers were attempting to remove the man-made error from Catholicism to get back to what the scriptures taught, since even Catholics will acknowledge that the scriptures are God's Word (though they disagree on which books it consists of).

It's not a new religion. It's the Christian religion which was founded on Jesus Christ and the Apostles.
