Have you heard it said, whether you think you can, or think you cant, you are right? Consider that in light of the words of Martin Luther(bottom paragraph). Then go find them in scripture. I will give you a hint. Without twisting words and piling words on top that are not there, you cant find this. Attracting G-ds favor is through abiding obedience. Abraham had it. So can you. But that faith is not an institution, Yeshua is not an institution, and Luthers argument is designed for an institutional church. He took away the money formula for absolution but left the excuse for sin intact. Halloween indeed. This paragraph below comes from Luthers wikipedia page. Martin Luther argued that every good work designed to attract Gods favor is a sin. All humans are sinners by nature, he explained, and Gods grace, which cannot be earned, alone can make them just. Be a sinner, and let your sins be strong, but let your trust in Christ be stronger, and rejoice in Christ who is the victor over sin, death, and the world. We will commit sins while we are here, for this life is not a place where justice resides.
