Kosta. Don't pretend to act like an authority on Luther. You clearly are either1)clueless as to his point or 2)deliberately distorting his point. Either way, it'd be best to let it go.

So, why don't you educate us? Are you the "official truth?"

What Luther proposed is immoral, contrary to everything Christianity believes: he is calling on us to sin and not worry. If +Augustine said something similar, then he was immoral too.

"Love God and do what you want" as HD quotes, makes it easy to love God and excuses sinfulness. If God lets us do anything, how can you not love such a God? Where in the scripture does God say "do what you want, as long as you love Me?"

The Beatitudes tell us who goes to heaven and who doesn't. The poor in spirit, the merciful, the suffering, not the party-animals who love God because He "let's" them do anything as long as they love Him.

But, don't let that stop you. Please explain the "official truth" of Luther's message.
