“I was waiting for someone to point that out to our dear, bombastic vlad, lol.”
Jesus and Satan never agreed.
Apparently Luther and Satan did:
“This statement is not made without foundation. Read Luther’s work against “The Mass and the Ordination of Priests,” (Erl. 31, 311 ff.) where he tells of his famous disputation with the “father of lies” who accosted him “at midnight” and spoke to him with “a deep, powerful voice,” causing “the sweat to break forth” from his brow and his “heart to tremble and beat.” In that celebrated conference, of which he was an unexceptional witness and about which he never entertained the slightest doubt, he says plainly and unmistakingly that “the devil spoke against the Mass, and Mary and the Saints” and that, moreover, “Satan gave him the most unqualified approval of his doctrine of justification by faith alone.” Who now, we ask in all sincerity, can be found, except those appallingly blind to truth, to accept such a man, approved by the enemy of souls, as a spiritual teacher and entrust to his guidance their eternal welfare?”
O’Hare, Facts about Luther, 135-136.
Yup; I shudda read ahead once again.
But if I do; this fast moving thread would become a type of Zeno's paradox to me...
