Uh huh.

Luther, living rent free in Romanist heads. I didn’t even refer to blessed Dr. Luther and you had to indulge in your two minutes of hate.

I have no idea what you mean by ‘absolutist hermeneutics,’ or I suspect I do but don’t care.

Jesus said the words plainly. Paul said the words plainly. Inform me why they didn’t REALLY mean what they spent chapters on chapters saying, multiple times in multiple letters.

I’ve answered your challenges about the seeming contradictions many times on previous threads. You have yet to answer mine with anything but rather pathetic gainsaying and whining about how much you hate Dr. Luther.

Physician, heal thyself!

Where did the poster you maligned preach “salvation by works?”

The dependence of the re-formation of the Christian on Luther is profound. If he is cut asunder and assigned a place with the hypocrites, with weeping and gnashing of teeth, it exposes all who followed his false teaching to risk of ruin. If the blind lead the blind, both fall into a ditch.

One English Protestant compared Martin Luther to Henry VIII :

There is very little to be said for this coarse and foul-mouthed leader of a revolution. It is a real misfortune for humanity that he appeared just at the crisis in the Christian world. Even our burly Defender of the Faith was not a worse man, and did far less mischief. We must hope that the next swing of the pendulum will put an end to Luther's influence in Germany.”

Very Rev. W. R. Inge,(in the Church of England Newspaper”, August 4, 1944).
