Luther counseled people to ‘sin boldly’.
Luther didn’t have Faith; he had a mad notion that his baptism was a get-out-of-jail-free card no matter what sins he committed. And he called this insane presumption ‘Faith’.
How many people have died ‘boldly sinning’, without fruit for God or Man because of Luther? How many Pharisees has he begotten, secure in the knowledge of their own salvation even as they staggered headlong towards hell?
It is a grave sin to presume on God’s mercy. May Christ preserve us from Luther’s sin against hope.
Luther should simply have paid Brother Tetzel the necessary fee for an indulgence and not have worried about the nature of Grace.
