Mondays with Marty

In this week's installment from Off the Record with Martin Luther, Luther draws some interesting conclusions from creation and the entrance of sin into the world:

1162. We were created under the open sky; and the fact that we now live under roofs and in houses is because of sin. And it is just like a sickroom with us, with many pans around and bandages. That is, we must have chambers, living rooms, houses, food, drink, etc. Earlier, before the fall of Adam, we were like young spirits, who ran about naked. At that time, we didn't need carpenters, masons, houses, etc.. (p. 253-254)

In this week's installment from Off the Record with Martin Luther, Luther describes heretics:

1970 A heretic is someone who changes the Word in some manner, more correctly, a worshiper of idols; from the practice of praying to this or that one for this or that, all which he has thought up. A mad prophet is a clear and appropriate expression to apply to a heretic. (p. 328)

Instead of our usual installment from Off the Record with Martin Luther, today I am linking to a new site that various friends have pointed me towards. It's called The Lutheran Insulter. Every time you refresh the page, a new pointed comment from Martin Luther appears. WARNING: sometimes the language is a bit salty!
