Because good exegesis is always done through the democratic process.
It's a nice sentiment, but if Luther is angel #1, who would angel #3 be?
Calvin?
There should have been a "jein", or "yes and no" button.
Good point! Next year.
I must concur with Rev. Juhl – Revelation is the view of the Church from eternity – Luther is the angel, as is any in the Church who cries out the Gospel. I sort of figure this to be highly descriptive of Isaiah as well.
Are these the same theologians who maintain that the Antichrist is the papacy?
All Lutherans maintain that, except the other way around: the papacy is antichrist.
What was it that Luther said about it being difficult to discern any role of the Holy Spirit in the writing of Revelation?
