I think Martin Luther is sadly looking on as Satan has divided the church he began so long ago. These are truly dangerous times.

A theological point collateral to this thread: Martin Luther would have vehemently denied that he began a church.

By their adherence to the three Ecumenical Creeds as well as the foundational Confessions, orthodox Lutherans believe that there is but one Holy Christian Church.

Of course, they also recognize that: in this life many hypocrites and evil persons are mingled therewith. Augsburg Confession Article IIX
