Hey, first time I’ve got a video this early, I love this podcast, has helped a lot in my conversion to Lutheranism from a reformed/nondenominational background. Thank you, Dr. Jordan B Cooper!

A couple of thoughts: I have read that none of the extant copies of the 95 theses have a date and place for the proposed disputation. Is this correct? Second, I understand Luther first penned 97 theses, about two months before the more well-known ninety five. This earlier posting did not touch on indulgences at all, hence did not hit the RCC where it counted. No reaction from the Church on this one.

Good video. I wish you would mentions Luther's antisemitic statements and works near the end of his life since they regrettably had some impact on later Nazi propaganda and there are still some criticisms leveled against us Lutherans because of Luther's antisemitism. Anyway, Ryan Reeves also has made a multiple episode lectures on Luther (and also Calvin) here on KZitem that go into more details on the points that were presented here in this video if anyone is interested.

It was common even in the Catholic Church to have anti semitic writings. It wasn’t until WW2 that churches started reforming the teaching on Jews. Luther wrote some terrible things, fortunately we don’t follow Luther the man. We follow the book of concord and the solas. God bless

Good point, but then I wonder how literate the first and second generations after the 12 apostles were. With the exception of the Apostolic Fathers, what access did most early bishops or presbyters have to the Hebrew Scriptures or to the nascent New Testament documents? Yet, they managed. This is not to make excuses for ignorance and illiteracy among the clergy, and of course these deficiencies were rightly corrected, I guess I'm just thinking out loud here....

Sidenote: it’s interesting to note that Catholics are starting to refer to Luther, Calvin, et al, as the “Protestant Revolution” instead of the Protestant Reformation; a subtle shift in language to actually make Luther’s motivation look less like a reform and more like a power play.

Pardon? He wrote 6 Disputations totalling 258 theses against antinomianism. These are his writings and they are well-attested to, since this was a major controversy surrounding Luther's home town (Eisleben). These aren't the only antinomian critiques or disputations, but they are the most famous.

I don't accept that Luther overstated things with respect to what he wrote in The Bondage of the Will where he argued the following: God is omnipotent and works everything including the evil things that happen. God has willed everything that happens from eternity by His hidden will. God foreknows everything from eternity. Everything happens according to God's foreknowledge. His foreknowledge necessitates everything happening according to what He has willed in eternity. Therefore everything is predestined to happen. People's lives are determined by God and He has predestined what happens to everyone. People are predestined by God to be saved and damned. Those God has predestined to save are irresistibly converted by the Holy Spirit. God withholds the Holy Spirit from those who He has predestined to be damned and their unbelief and sins damn them. In this life faith is needed in order to believe that God is just as God's justice will only be comprehended in the next life. In God's revealed will He desires everyone's salvation through the Gospel which teaches that Christ atoned for the sins of the whole world. God's hidden and revealed wills are opposed in that God by His hidden will has elected to save only some people not everyone, and has elected to damn the rest. The Formula of Concord didn't clarify Luther's teaching on predestination but basically overturned it because it stated the following: God doesn't will everything that happens as He doesn't will evil to happen. God foreknows everything but His foreknowledge doesn't necessitate what happens. God hasn't predestined everything that happens. God only predestined people to be saved and hasn't predestined anyone to be damned. The Holy Spirit tries to convert everyone through the Gospel. Those who are damned are damned because they resist the Holy Spirit. God can be seen to be acting justly in this life. God's hidden and revealed wills are complementary and not in any way opposed. I hold that what Luther stated is Scripturally true and what the Formula of Concord stated is Scripturally false
