Whatever is Scripture is either law or gospel. One of the two must triumph: the law leads to despair, the gospel leads to Salvation. I learn more about this every day...The gospel is life. The Pope drove me to this; he opened my eyes to it. It is as Augustine said to himself: the heretics provoke us to search the Scriptures. Otherwise nobody would think about them (Luther on Being A Theologian)

I like this picture of the young Luther...he looks resolute, determined, and tough.
His expression says: "If you rip this down you better have a sound theological reason or we are going to have a "talk" ".
You would want to have this guy on your side during a theological fight...

Quite possibly the funniest "in ur ____, ____ing ur ____" lolpic I've seen yet. Or at least the first to make me laugh out loud.
Congrats on the first "in ur ____, ____ing ur ____" lolpic to make me laugh out loud.
This is true. I became more Lutheran when I lived with a Mormon roommate for six months.
1 Corinthians 11:19 For there must be also heresies among you, that they which are approved may be made manifest among you.
The Lutheran churches have provided more than enough opportunities to address heresies openly.
