My salvation like Luther's is based on believing that Christ redeemed us, period. His salvation was based on his belief, mine is based on my belief sustained by the Holy Spirit as Scripture and the Lutheran church teaches. Founded on God's Word, I have no need of the superstitions of the Catholics nor to be in communion with those that deny the efficacy of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection by adding additional non biblical dogma as a condition to go to purgatory.

That is not the impression I get from reading your comments. It seems to me you are tightly coupled with Luther and dependent on him being saved for you to be saved. I think that is the, perhaps unstated or understated, premise of Lutherism. Without Luther it is primary facile illegitimate. He is the self-appointed apostle of the Gentiles who ended up hating the Jews, the antithesis of blessed Paul, who we know is in the kingdom of heaven. Because the mentally ill can't go to heaven? Evil men can't get right with God via repentance.

No, you miss the point. One defense of Luther is that he was mentally ill. If so, he was under the influence and not of a sound mind when he reformed something into a new religion. If he was evil, well, there are many passages in the NT warning against teachers like that too. No numbers for the Lutherans,

They were approximately two thirds of the German nation, the vast majority were complicit in the Holocaust, especially in light of Matthew 25.

I've denounced Luther's, but not a word of admonition or regret for the same from Catholic scholars of the same day from such a pious man as yourself.

I denounce the evil sins of all the Germans, Catholic and Lutheran, who hated and persecuted the Jews. I further denounce all the sins of the Gentiles that have failed the LORD God of Jacob by maligning Jacob in their envy, malice, pride, wicked imaginations, and ungodly antisemitism, from the time the Jewish apostles were martyred unto this day.

Thanks be to God for repentance.

I'm not aware Luther ever repented. Luther Favored the Death Penalty for Anabaptists Because They Opposed Infant Baptism, As Well As Other Catholic Doctrines He Held Onto.

Missed nothing, Never heard that as a defense, slur maybe. Nice to rake on a dead guy, who would smoke you if alive, or ignore you for papism.

And it didn't turn off the Catholics? Oh wait, they were already practicing a dead man's preaching.

How about the Italian, Spanish French etc Catholics and their devilish AS?

I'm not aware Luther ever repented.

Well, when you are so wrong about so many things, what's another?

I bet he didn't know that he had to check with you, probably forgot to email you. Luther wrote on daily repentance more than he did Jews, and you are the man who equates a man with his writings. While there won't be a Nazi reference to use, google Luther daily repentance.
