Thank you for trying to change the subject to what Luther wrote about a bunch of terrorists.

You didn’t read the article, did you?

That remains 0 Romanists who have actually read and engaged with the article in favor of maintaining their hatred for a man they’ve never met.

Really really pathetic.

I’ve read various articles about and around Luther’s advice to “sin boldly”. All attempts to reconcile that sentiment with actual Christianity are vain. When it takes you thousands upon thousands of words to attempt to explain a two-word statement, you should be canny enough to realize that you’re on the wrong side. Just give up.

Count me as a Catholic who did read the article, or some of it. It is too much detail for my wandering mind. Without getting too deep into what Luther said, my understanding is that he was not encouraging people to commit great sins; he was teaching that no matter how great one’s sins are, God’s grace is greater and He is always ready to forgive. There’s a song by David Kauffman that expresses this understanding, “You Cannot Go Below My Resting Arms.”

I do wish you would not use the term Romanist. It would be like calling a member of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod a Missourianist.
