Yes, I read what I posted.

“We should throw the epistle of James out of this school, for it doesn’t amount to much. It contains not a syllable about Christ. Not once does it mention Christ, except at the beginning. I maintain that some Jew wrote it who probably heard about Christian people but never encountered any. Since he heard that Christians place great weight on faith in Christ, he thought, ‘Wait a moment! I’ll oppose them and urge works alone.’ This he did.”

Luther was no different that Muhammad. They both created religions to their own liking.

Your problem is you only read parts that you think support your preconceived opinion without reading the REST of the story. Even your own link explained that! Had you actually shown any objectivity you would know that Luther wasn't alone in having those thoughts about the book of James - Jerome and many others thought the same things. But what mattered is Luther changed his thinking about it as he studied it more and no doubt prayed a lot. He grew in his understanding - something I think you are closed off from doing - and fully accepted it as Divinely-inspired Scripture. People CAN change their minds in Ebb Tide world, right?

BTW...are you going to stop accusing Luther of teaching Christ was an adulterer? HAVE you grown in your understanding of that point or will you lie in wait to toss it out the next time someone talks about Martin Luther in any positive way?
