I am not permitted to let my love be so merciful as to tolerate and endure false doctrine. When faith and doctrine are concerned and endangered, neither love nor patience are in order....when these are concerned, neither toleration nor mercy are in order, but only anger, dispute, and destruction - to be sure, only with the Word of God as our weapon.
Martin LutherIf we wish to wash our hands of the Jews blasphemy and not share in their guilt, we have to part company with them. They must be driven from our country.
Martin LutherGod creates out of nothing. Therefore, until a man is nothing, God can make nothing out of him.
Martin LutherLove is an image of God, and not a lifeless image, but the living essence of the divine nature which beams full of all goodness.
Martin LutherIf God is to create or to preserve a creature, God must be present and must make and preserve God's creation both in its innermost and outermost aspects.
Martin Luther
