I read the piece below today, it was written by Luther
He would be shocked by the huge amount of Lutheran schools, Lutheran housing and Lutheran churches that are here in Australia
Not what he would have wanted
"I desire above all things that my name should be concealed, and that none be called by the name of Lutheran; but of Christian.
What is Luther?
My doctrine is not mine, but Christ's. I was not crucified for any.
How comes it to pass, that I, who am but a filthy, stinking bag of worms; that any of the sons of God should be denominated from my name?
Away with these schismatical names!
Let us be denominated from Christ, from whom alone we have our doctrine."
May our testimony in the same way glorify the Lord Jesus Christ and Him alone
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
1 Timothy 2:5
Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
Acts 4:12
