I'm guessing Luther may live in your mind, rent-free.Not at all. I don't even pray for his soul.

You’ve never read Luther’s writings, yet you defend heretic?
Muslims, like you, also think they “have the inspired Word of God. So what’s the difference?

Not if I can help it. And that takes both faith and works.

“And it’s a shame that he lived it so unwisely.

"You’ve never read Luther’s writings, yet you defend heretic? Your posts are funny!
I don't "defend a heretic."
I celebrate the recovery of the Gospel of Grace that is God's way to be saved from hell and spend eternity in His presence instead.
And if you review my posts, I noted he was flawed, just as all the people God uses... as were the Apostles.

“Recovery of the Gospel”?
Who censored it? Some guy who wanted to justify his sexual transgressions?

“Recovery of the Gospel”? Who censored it? Some guy who wanted to justify his sexual transgressions? The Gospel was smothered by the incorporation of syncretic pagan beliefs and practices and rituals. You will have to dig back almost 1800 or so years to get to the beginning. Even in the time of the Apostles, they warned about those who would sneak in and try to supplant the simplicity of the Gospel with heresy. At the end of his life, the Apostle John notes in Revelation, that several churches had already had their lampstand removed.

"Speak for yourself. I certainly do. There is not a single thing in me that contributed anything to my salvation or sainthood. Only the sacrifice of Christ paid for who I was and what I did. Only the imputed holiness of Christ allows me to stand in the presence of God.
That said, Scripture tells us this is true of all humans. I made the assumption you are in that group. Accurately, I believe.

There is not a single thing in me that contributed anything to my salvation or sainthood.So everyone must go the Heaven and Hell is empty. What a perverse logic; despite the Gospel you reject.

It shouldn’t seem weird to anyone who reads the pages of Scripture.

Well, I didn't say that. You did. Hell, according to Scripture, is quite full.
I did not, however, get eternal life by anything I did. It was the marvelous, matchless, indescribable gift of God!
Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift!

Well, no. The poster’s assertion that Martin lives in your head rent free was quite apropos.

Hell, according to Scripture, is quite full.Well, if Hell is quite full, there's no room for the rest of us. So, as Luther directed, let's and sin boldly.
