Ah, good. Childish taunts instead of referencing the post in question near the end of the last flame war.

Thank you for answering my question: you are being an idiot on purpose.

Let me give you, once again, the important part:

“If you are a preacher of grace, preach a real grace, not a fictitious one. God does not make saved sinners fictitiously. Be a sinner and hold yourself for a great sinner (This is where your ‘sin boldly’ comment comes from. See? Out of context), but believe more boldly and rejoice in Christ, who is victor over sin, death, and the world. There is to be sin as long as we are thus [that is, in this life there is bound to be sin, even in Christians, as both the Roman church and the Reformers held]; for this life is not the habitation of righteousness, but we look for, says Peter, a new heaven and a new earth wherein dwelleth righteousness. It suffices that through the riches of the glory of God we know the Lamb who taketh away the sin of the world, from him sin cannot tear us away, even a thousand, even though we should commit fornication or murder a thousand times in one day. Do you think that the price and redemption for our sins by such a Lamb is so small?”

So, snookums, here you have it. Luther’s quote instead says that God’s grace is stronger than any sin, so we should be bold in confessing, because God is greater than any sin we should commit.

He is NOT encouraging people to sin, and YOU are bearing false witness by claiming otherwise.

But I bet that you will happily continue to use your tired, stupid quote-mining because you hate Lutherans and Protestants more than you love God’s commandments.
