Best Answer

False.

Martin Luther believed that humans gain salvation through grace alone. He believed there was nothing anyone could do to make them worthy of salvation, but that it was only through God's grace and mercy that anyone could be saved. This did not mean, however, that faith and good works were to be ignored, but rather that they could not buy salvation.

What was martin Luther kings argument against he catholic church in the Renaissance?

I think you have your people confused. It was Martin Luther not MLK who came out against the Catholic church. There is about 400 years difference between the two men. Martin Luther was a priest who felt that the church needed to change and felt that salvation wasn't through fear, but through faith. He began the Protestant Reformation in Germany in 1513. He changed his world.
