I’m done with you, and have made clear that I believe you’re a troll from Darwin Central. Do not ping me again.

>>Or more like I don’t care what someone who denies Christ has to say about Christian topics.

Great, why don't you tell the class how the iconification of Luther relates to who really should be personified as representing the Reformation then?

Spamming and harassment are against Religion Forum rules.

Lay off.

*Sigh*

I have repeatedly told you to stop spamming, harassing, and insulting me.

I may have taken a step too far and if I did, I want the too-far post removed.

Having said that, this copy-paste spamming in my inbox is getting VERY tiresome, especially after I asked him both politely and impolitely to lay off.

Was the professor who used this text when he taught a course in Animal Behavior at LCMS' Concordia College in 1987 a "DU Troll"?

I didn't think he was.

He was no more a "Troll" than Galileo was - and their relationship with their Creator was just as unconditionally restored by the victory of Christ as mine is -- despite what fallible, uninspired, dominion-assuming 24x6 literalists might opine.

How should we “think” of Luther?

What I was taught in Lutheran Elementary/High/College schools was that Luther would probably say we shouldn’t think of him at all...

Grace Alone
Faith Alone
Scripture Alone.

 ...Is that a duck?

How interesting to be told to shut up - by defenders of Luther who, despite his faults, endeavored to make the Word available so we can read it and discuss and defend our faith amongst ourselves.... without authoritive permission.

>> And what qualifies you to correctly interpret it?

The same thing that qualifies you to read the Scriptures and then discuss with others the meaning of whatever it was that you read. In other words, relating to others how you interpret the Scriptures.

>>But there is a type of mindset that hopes to find some disparity in the delivery, so that the content may be dismissed without dealing with it.

Would that be yourself you’re referring to?

>>Huh?

Lutherans have built their own hierarchy.

What purpose does it serve in the context of the priesthood of all believers?
