Upshot: Luther was a sinner.

Then why did he dispense with the Holy Sacrament of Confession with absolution?

It’s God’s business to hear one’s confession, not anothers’.

See p. 86 of the sample of the Lutheran Service Book (Hymnal p. 292).

See also the beginning of any service, e.g., pp. 27 and 44 of that sampler (Hymnal pp. 151 and 184)
