The Highway Forums General Discussion Open Forum Assurance of Salvation

I am familiar with Luther's work but I tend to consign everything he has written contrary to his confessions to the rubbish pile.

When I read your statement I did not understand it as speaking chronologically (an understandable mistake considering the context of the statement but still inexcusable). I apologize for misinterpreting your statement.

I had no intent to deceive and, in fact, your research proves me accurate in all respects. The Apology is Luther's confession which puts it at a much higher level than his earlier personal writings which often contradict each other. He was unwilling to accept James simply based on Papist Church canon without proof.

Again, my apologies.
