So in other words, a misquote, a misplaced quote, and a lie of omission on the part of your stupid, stupid cherry-picked sources of hate. Luther is speaking of God being a ‘scoundrel’ when one abandons Scripture to follow one’s own itching ears.

And the Internet abounds with such, keeping James Swan busy researching and correcting, though Luther's propensity to sometimes extreme hyperbole, and too often caustic language can be a problem.

It’s true.

Hyperbole was necessary for the time in which Dr. Luther was living, I’m sure. Much like President Trump today, Martin Luther was speaking directly to the people and so spoke in the language of the people.

Even so, many years after it can be a little tough to navigate.

It’s not that difficult to find the misquotes, misrepresentations, and cherry-picking in the attacking links, though.
