Compare/contrast Johann Tetzel's "The Spark for the Reformation: Indulgences" with Martin Luther's "Justification by Faith" include at least one quote from each primary source using MLA citation format.

Johann Tetzel's "The Spark for the Reformation: Indulgences", and Martin Luther's "Justification by Faith".  It was either Hell, Purgatory, or Heavenly Kingdom. In Justification by Faith, Luther believed that God was an angry man who doomed you to purgatory from the day you were born. "...I stood before God as a sinner troubled in conscience, and I had not confidence that my merit would assuage him" -Martin Luther, Justification by Faith.  Luther then stated that according to a passage in the study of Saint Paul, "the just shall live by his faith". This meant that salvation and entry to gates to Heaven was only obtained by Faith, and not by the church. This angered Luther because the church were making up rules in order to find salvation, when really anyone can obtain it just by believing in God. Luther was also angered because of the indulgences. "The whole of Scripture took on a new meaning, and whereas before the "justice of God"had filled me with hate, now it became an inexpressably sweet in greater love", - Martin Luther, Justification by Faith.  But, according to Johann Tetzel, indulgences were the only way a person could gain entry to heaven because all people commit numberless sins and everyone will go to purgatory. He also believed that the God was an angry and just god, who only gives salvation to the ones who help the construction of Cathedrals, Basilicas, and Churches. So, Johann Tetzel's The Spark for the Reformation: Indulgences, and Martin Luther's Justification by Faith are completely different because both sides do not agree on anything, Johann Tetzel believes God is an angry person, and the church is the way to achieve salvation, while Martin Luther completely disagreed and had his supporters form the Lutheran Religion.
