Detailed explanation-2: -Luther insisted the Bible was the only source of religious authority and that messages from the pope-or from Luther himself-lacked that authority.

Detailed explanation-3: -According to Luther, the word of the abandoned, crucified, and powerless calls the God, who listens against all experience.
