Mark: Earlier, you tried to make the point that Luther believed in double predestination. My point was that Luther never did. It was brewed in Calvin's cauldron, not Luther's.

Let's ask a lutheran -- xzins, did Luther believe in double-predestination?

I know that The LCMS website confirms that it does not believe that Scripture teaches a predestination to damnation: God desires all to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth (1 Tim. 2:3-4).) and Dr. Eck says that this is evidence that the liberal church teaching of free will has infected the Lutherans, too, in contradiction to what Martin Luther taught from Scripture.

lolol. Yeah. xzins. The Lutheran.

Read the link I gave you which illustrates Luther's belief in double predestination.

Newsflash. Double predestination was the orthodox teaching of most of the church until Trent. Augustine taught it. It was the Pelagians who dismissed it.
