“How does it feel defending evil?”
Look, if you want to discuss things intelligently I will accommodate you. If you want to persist with this juvenile foolishness have at it alone.
You haven’t shown in the context of the letter where Luther has advocated persistant sin or where he advocated “sinning boldly”. I have shown you now at least three times where he uses hyperbole in telling Melenchthon to admit he sins in the strongest terms because Jesus saves in the strongest terms. He has said that the value of Jesus sacrifice is greater than “even if we were to kill or commit adultery thousands of times each day”. Those two satatements are not encouraging sin; but they are encouraging faith in the sacrifice for sin.
If you can’t see that then we are both wasting time.
I don't see anything juvenile other than my honest humble opinion of Martin Luther.
I honestly view lither as a type of anti Christ.
No joke!
Some folks here will never see the truth in what anyone says about anyone outside the Catholic Church. They hate Luther because he broke away from them (because of their sinfulness and corruption). Sigh.
