When he seems to have said things they agree with (no matter WHEN he might have said it nor if he ever retracted or changed it) they are more than delighted to post his words.

And that is where you come in! I can rely on your posts being accurate for you have no ax to grind. I have little knowledge of him, mostly basics - like his spiritual eyes were opened and he saw the Truth because he was seeking God with all his heart and the Vatican hates him for exposing them and passed on their hate to their 'subjects'. However, I do laugh when they default and then attack the man of God, Luther.

After 500 years, their bitterness is still alive. Luther, being obedient to God, made a MIGHTY lasting impact on them they have yet to recover from and never will for the chains of bondage have been cut and God's WORD is Alive and Active to refute their hold on anyone's salvation - other than those we remain in 'it'. So thanks for keeping the naysayers honest as they 'try' to defame a man used by God to accomplish HIS WILL and one they never met but just disagree with for 'tradition' sake.

Ever wonder why they don't do the same to even one of their many bad popes? I'll just mark that one as 'cover up is the catholic way'. The dirty laundry is hidden in with their artwork that, also, will be burned up. Their pomp will turn to puff!

I've found this really good website that has every kind of information about Luther one could want and many links to translations of the man's works. It is http://beggarsallreformation.blogspot.com/.

As for your insight about all that we humans value and imagine is the key to our happiness in "stuff", those verses in II Peter 3:10,11 come to mind:

But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought you to be in all holy conversation and godliness?

On that day when God creates a new heaven and new earth, all that men fight and kill for will be destroyed. In light of that, what kind of people should we be? What kind of holy and godly lives should we live in light of the temporary nature of stuff? That's powerful!
