Amen!

I will say however, if an old pastor of mine is correct. He said to be fair to Luther, his statement about James being an epistle of straw are often over-emphasized. My pastor went onto say that later writings of Luther showed that Luther understood James properly, realizing his misunderstanding.

I also learned quite a bit from RC Sproul concerning Luther, especially Luther’s book ‘The Bondage of the Will’.
Sproul said, Luther actually spoke/wrote more about “predestination”, than even Calvin did.
I talked to one Lutheran about this and he stated that it was obvious that when Luther wrote ‘The Bondage of the Will’; he was not a stable man anymore.

Kind of blows my mind, that people like that would call themselves “Lutherans”.
