I understand that the gospels were written and canonized after the living Gospel was preached, but I was talking about Luther ignoring the written gospels as he developed his theories.

So then the Gospel existed before the Gospels were written, so what is the Gospel? What is the "good news" that is contained in the Gospel and the other NT scripture?

BTW Luther read through the scriptures several times a year I believe, how often have you read through them?

My contention is that Luther's theories do not mesh very well with some words of Christ. Please see my post #20. I know that Luther in fact read the gospels, but apparently he did not retain their content. It is remarkable that all scripture references in support of Luther that I get, come from a few passages in Galatians and Romans, which confirms my belief that the gospels remain ignored by the Reformers, or if not ignored entirely then spun beyond all recognition to fit their speculative theology.
