Speratus,

Thanks for your apology. However, my research (as you called it) has not proven you correct:

First, it proves that that my initial statement to Tom was correct, that Luther had not yet matured to the point of understanding James, which is what you initially found in error.

Second, it proves The Apology is Melanchthon’s not Luther’s.

Third, it disproves your statement which says, “He was unwilling to accept James simply based on Papist Church canon without proof.” Clearly, Luther had his own reasons for “rejecting” 3 biblical books.

I am familiar with Luther's work but I tend to consign everything he has written contrary to his confessions to the rubbish pile.
Am I to assume from this that the history of what one believes has no bearing on his final beliefs? Are we then being familiar with Speratus’ work to consign everything he has written to the rubbish pile, except his final confession? <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/idea.gif" alt="" />
