In my Lutheran background many people, including me in the past, idolize Martin Luther.

Thank you very much for saying that. Some time ago, I related that when my husband and I were meeting with his Lutheran minister for pre-marriage counseling, I had offered to convert to the Lutheran Church. The pastor said that I would have to be willing to die for Martin Luther as well as Christ, and I declined. I was roundly criticized for that, and told that I was stating a falsehood. I wasn't, that is the truth.

Judith Anne, I do not doubt your testimony.
