I agree LOL! Luther was a Catholic, ha ha, now Lutheran doctrine needs Scriptural warrant, yee hah. It is funny, finally a church that drew its doctrine from Scripture alone after 1400 some odd years. You knew Luther WAS a Catholic right?
What is really amusing is when sentences from Luther's sermons show up as support for Catholic doctrines. I know it was Monday, but I thought it was every third Wednesday and Thursday that Luther ceased being Satan's butler to Catholics and became a scholar worthy of reference.
As I have posted many times, Brother Martin's personal opinions on religion had to pass Scriptural scrutiny to be included within the Lutheran Confessions.
They have changed with the prevailing winds, just like all protestant churches do.
Please list what Confessional Lutheran doctrine has 'changed'. It will be a short list and will fit between here ",."
Yes, Luther was a Catholic. One who succumbed to despair and objected to certain practices of the Church hierarchy and never intended to spawn the religious maelstrom that ensued after his 95 Theses.
Luther continued to believe in the Eucharist and that Mary was ever virginal and sinless.
Do Lutherans believe thus today?
