I did a study on this some years ago. See: http://beggarsallreformation.blogspot.com/2006/04/luthers-understanding-of-soul-sleep.html Bottom line is sometimes he affirmed it, but never dogmatically.

If I recall correctly from a private correspondence I had with Brian Mattson, he stated that his paper was for a seminary class, and in some particular instances I pointed out he was in error, and he graciously affirmed the errors. As to the author of the second link, well, I think one could do...

Thanks for posting one my Luther links. I'll gladly defend my research on Luther against any SDA person selectively citing his writings. As I said in that entry: "What can be said of Seventh Day Adventist usage of Luther on this point? I suggest they incorrectly present a dogmatic Luther who...

I've spent quite a number of years researching attacks against Luther. More often than not, the attacks attempt to make Luther worse than he was. He was a man with success and failure, sins and saintly behavior. One thing though is quite undeniable: he was a force to be reckoned with, which is...

The comment appears to be from a Tabletalk recorded by Jerome Besold (see LW 54:467). While I'm not aware of any official English translation of the comment, Preserved Smith (a man fluent in Luther's Tabletalk) sets down the following in regard to Luther's dealings with the Sacramentarians. It...

I probably found the same rabbit trails you did. When I checked WA 26:67, there was nothing at all close to the quote in question. I was able though to figure out it was actually page 167, and then cross-reference the German text back to the English LW. I love challenges like these- If anyone...

The reference to WA 26:67 is incorrect. See my post here: Luther: "There is not sufficient evidence from Scripture that one might justify the introduction of infant baptism at the time of the early Christians after the apostolic period" Regards, James Swan

Not meaning to sound angry, but I did no such thing. These links do nothing but protect Luther from such bogus assertions that he spoke in tongues. Pentecostal Luther who 'Spoke in Tongues' Luther Spoke In tongues? Regards, James

No problem, I love looking up quotes like the one you posted. I put together a full entry here: Luther: If women wear themselves out in childbearing, let them go on bearing children till they die Regards, James

By the way, if you send me the link to this Facebook rant, I'll have a look. Also, feel free to send your Luther-detractor over to my blog. There's not much I haven't heard about Luther at this point. Regards, James

For the second quote, see this link. For the first quote: This quote is fairly popular on-line, often being published in books as well (see here and here). The exact way the quote is cited above can be found in this book. "Works 20:84" is a reference to Dr. Martin Luther's sämmtliche Werke...

Luther, Exposing The Myth is by Raymond Taouk, a Roman Catholic. The hosting website is Catholic Apologetics Information, an Australian Romanist website. Luther Exposing the Myth has also gone through revisions. Simply compare the original 2004 version to the one currently posted by using the...

I saw your post- Here is a response I'll be working on from time to time: A Response to "Luther, Exposing the Myth" Regards, James

Produce a context. Thanks. And... the next line of this quote says, "...Still honor and praise must be given to her in such a way as to injure neither Christ nor the Scriptures." I have never seen a complete context for this quote. I'm tempted to say the quote found its way to cyberspace...

Yes, there is a conflict. The quote you provided stated: "Conceived with original sin, yes, but at the infusion of the soul there was a cleansing by the Holy Spirit." Luther, after 1527, did not believe that at MARY's birth, her soul was cleansed by the Holy Spirit. Well, I'm...
