They weren't able to keep the church on the right path for even 50 years after their death. I mean, Luther's gospel is still preached everywhere today. People are passionate about it. If you say anything against it, you're going to get shouted down, attacked, and all of that. And yet, if his gospel is true, if it's really what the apostles taught, then they were terrible failures. I mean, everyone forgot it as soon as they died. I mean, you can't even find a trace of it. There weren't even arguments about it.
You know, one faction saying, "Well, we're saved by faith alone," and another one saying, "No, works play a role in our salvation." There's no argument. Everyone believed the same thing, and it wasn't Luther's gospel. So, yeah, I find that hard to believe.
