I praise God for Luther.

I agree; but I don't agree with every conlusion Luther reached regarding Politics, nor the unfortunate results of certain of Luther's errors in that regard.

I, too, thank God for Luther, but even more for Philipp Melanchthon, who moderated Lutheranism away from the heretical conculsions Luther later came to.

Only God, in his sovereignty, could use a tortured soul like Luther to jump-start a much-needed Reformation.

That is a far cry from your "crime" & (peasant revolt) post; that embedded in your desire for "unity". So now it is I agree, but,

Then the two of you with your neat little one liners concerning the tortured, & heretics of, Luther & ...

To paraphrase, one of you have kicked me in the arse to post as much of Luther & the times he lived & the circumstances in which he found himself as I am able - that includes the bad stuff & for that I do not need the help of either of you; nor from a member of non-reformed party & its charge of personnel corruption & stunted intellect; that with without a whimper from FR (I did the best I could privately - shame on me for cowardice); because (?) it acknowledged Calvin as at least having a worthy case

This with apologies to DrEck & Rnmomo7 Gamecock; I did not intend to imply that you agree with me. It is my desire that I not embarrass any of you three, as to the other two I care not a whit

I don't know if the match I have lit will find it's way into pool of gasoline or a pool of water or something in between.

The devil has his plate full of stuff he can use against the reform 500 years ago

You sit in your comfy sans the trials of that period & judge a brother. Not judging? re-read your posts. Shame, shame, on the both of you.

I believe my anger is righteous, if not make a charge & let’s follow in the Spirit of Matthew 18.

Finally to echo somthing of Luther; I am not drunk.
