Your comment: “Brilliant. I still find tremendous comfort and sustenance in the Bible today partly due to Luther.”
You may find comfort, but will you find salavation for rejecting God’s Word and the teachings of His Church?
The Bible tells us how to be saved and it is our instruction manual for a Christian life. Thankfully, we do not need traditions and lies.
The reason I find comfort is because there is salvation in the message of the Word.
That message is...God sent His Son. Those who have faith in him have achieved salvation. Amen.
