1 | What did Martin Luther believe? | Acts 2:25 | Emmaus | 95313 | ||
John, I think your misunderstand graceful. She is asserting that her position and that of the WOF teachers about Jesus being tortured in hell for three days are found in Luther's teachings. The WOF teachers say that it was the torture in hell of Jesus, not just His the death on the cross that saved us and graceful is asserting that this is the teaching of Luther and is therefore nothing new. I think that Erasmus is just the website's name. The arguments are not those of Erasmus. This is an odd turn. Graceful is using Catholic arguments against Luther to say Luther was the originator of the WOF position. So are with graceful and the WOF side or EdB and Hank on the other side? It would never have occured to me to put Luther in the WOF camp, but graceful apparently does. I think the WOF theology goes way beyond Luther's position on this one passage of scripture. As for Bondage of the Will destroying Erasmus' arguments. That is I suspect a matter of opinion. ;-) Emmaus |

2 | What did Martin Luther believe? | Acts 2:25 | John Reformed | 95319 | ||
Thanks Emmaus, "In my opinon" should have pre-ceeded my remark :-) Have you read "Bondage of the Will"? Like reading other great authors, reading Luther can be difficult yet rewarding. John |

3 | What did Martin Luther believe? | Acts 2:25 | Emmaus | 95330 | ||
John, I have read some of Luther. The local Catholic Seminary, St Mary's, (are you still in Baltimore?) has a set of his complete works, in which I have spend some time. His sermons given on the Marian feast days are very interesting. However, although familiar with the main thrust of Bondage, I can not claim to have read more than excerpts. The image of Satan in the saddle of my will and me with the bit in my teeth is indeed an impressive metaphor, but I prefer to think of God using a rather different method than the Old Sparky, the jockey. The Good Shepherd imagery or even Christ coming in judgement is much more appealing to me and seems more dignified for the Lord. Certainly I would not expect Him to do anything in the same manner as the Adversary. Emmaus |
