“I reply, therefore, that Christ was truly born from true and natural flesh and human blood which was corrupted by original sin in Adam, but in such a way that it could be healed.”
Well of course it can be healed, such is what occurs after our death and resurrection.
The problem is that this denies that Christ was sinless. Thanks for posting this. I wondered how Luther got around the problem, and I see that rather than deny that Mary was the Theotokos, he has her passing on her sinfulness to Christ.
Again, it all fits together. If Christ were truly sinless, than so is Mary. If Christ were truly God and Man together, than Mary is the mother of God.

"He wanted to be born from the mass of the flesh and from that corrupted blood.
Although death remained in that flesh on our account, the leaven of sin was nevertheless purged out, and it became the purest flesh, purified by the Holy Spirit and united with the divine nature in one Person.
Therefore it is truly human nature no different from what it is in us. And Christ is the Son of Adam and of his seed and flesh, but, as has been stated, with the Holy Spirit overshadowing it, active in it, and purging it, in order that it might be fit for this most innocent conception and the pure and holy birth by which we were to be purged and freed from sin.
