"Here I Stand!" - Luther at the Imperial Diet of Worms |
"Not every one who says to me, `Lord, Lord,' shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven." "For many are called, but few are chosen."
|
"Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net which was thrown into the sea and gathered fish of every kind; when it was full, men drew it ashore and sat down and sorted the good into vessels but threw away the bad. So it will be at the close of the age. The angels will come out and separate the evil from the righteous, and throw them into the furnace of fire; there men will weep and gnash their teeth.

TRIGLOT CONCORDIA
The Symbolical Books of the Ev. Lutheran
Church, |
It is a remarkable favor of Almighty God that in these last times and in this old age of the world He has
willed, according to His unspeakable love, forbearance, and mercy, that after the darkness of papistical
superstitions the light of His Gospel and Word, through which alone we receive true salvation, should
arise and shine clearly and purely! | |

Luther's books were placed on a table. He was then asked if they were his works and whether he wanted to recant any of the information. Luther requested time to think over his reply and the next day he answered with the well-known speach:
"Unless I am convicted by scripture and plain reason - I do not accept the authority of the popes and councils, for they have contradicted each other - my conscience is captive to the Word of God. I cannot and I will not recant anything for to go against conscience is neither right nor safe. God help me. Amen." It is legend that Luther said the words "Here I stand. I cannot do otherwise. God help me, Amen!" These words were probably only added to make the story more interesting; to make it a 'press sensation'.

On The Freedom Of A Christian: Martin Luther |
LETTER OF MARTIN LUTHER TO POPE LEO X.
___________
I have indeed inveighed sharply against impious doctrines, and I have not been slack to censure my adversaries on account, not of their bad morals, but of their impiety. And for this I am so far from being sorry, that I have brought my mind to despise the judgments of men, and to persevere in this vehement zeal, according to the example of Christ, who, in his zeal, calls his adversaries a generation of vipers, blind, hypocrites, and children of the devil. | |

The Curious Histories of the
Wittenberg ConcordJames M. Kittelson with Ken Schurb Like many other confessional documents of the sixteenth century,
the Wittenberg Concord has a curious history. In fact, it
has two curious histories, because its Entstehungsgeschichte and
its Nachwirkungsgeschichte appear to contradict one another.
With respect to the one, Ernst Bizer (its most recent serious
student) flatly calls the Wittenberg Concord a compromise between
Luther and the South Germ reformers. With respect to
the other, its most salient section was included expmssis verbis,
in the Formula of Concord!

The Doctrine of the Word in Orthodox Lutheranism C. Georg |
The Doctrine of the Word in Orthodox Lutheranism C. George Fry Helen Keller, blind and deaf from birth, was once asked
which of these two handicaps she felt t o be worse. She immediately answered:
Deafness is a much worse misfortune, for it means the
loss of the most vital stimulus-the sound of the voice
which brings language, sets thoughts astir, and keeps
us in the intellectual company of man. Such isolation, continued M i s s Keller, is a kind of spiritual death.
Institutions a s well as individuals can suffer from deafness.
Even the Church is not immune from thi s illness. But in the
case of the Church the disease is fatal - for it means the
inability to hear the Word of God. Throughout the Sacred
Scriptures this sort of deafness is described a s the terminal
sickness of t h e Church.
To his servant, t h e psalmist, t h e Lord
promised,
"Open your mouth wide, and I will f i l l it," and then from the poets lips came this divine lamentation: But my people did not listen t o my voice:
Israel would have none of me.
So I gave them over to their stubborn hearts,
to follow their own counsels.
0 that my people would listen t o me . . .
(Psalm 81:lO-13). Or again, in another century, God warned through his
messenger, the prophet Isaiah, of those
sons who will not hear the instruction of the Lord: who say to the seers, "See not''; and to the prophets,
"Prophesy not to us what is right;
speak t o us smooth things, prophesy illusions . . ."
(Isaiah 30:9,10). Still later, Jesus, in a remarkable conversation with the
religious leaders of his generation, cited listening as a sure sign
of a faithful Church: "He who is of God hears the words of God;
the reason why you do not hear them is that you are not
of God" (John 8:47). If listening is a mark of a living Church and deafness is a
sign of death, then we have every reason to think we are living
in an age of apostasy. |
