Examining Swan & Perdomo: Luther’s Real Authority

Examining Swan & Perdomo: Luther’s Real Authority
"Protestants champion 'Sola Scriptura' and often portray Martin Luther as a humble, fallible reformer. But what if the very foundational documents of Lutheranism — from Luther's own writings to the definitive Book of Concord — reveal a different truth?

In this video, we critically examine the claims made by James Swan and Javier Perdomo, specifically addressing the profound, yet often unacknowledged, authority Luther held within his own movement, from the Augsburg Confession, Smalcald Articles, Large Catechism, and the Formula of Concord, we demonstrate how Luther's theology was not merely influential, but was enshrined as the normative, uncorrected standard of faith.

This isn't about labeling Luther a 'Protestant Pope.' It's about exposing the fatal incoherence at the heart of 'Scripture Alone' when its architect's interpretations become the unquestioned rule.

Discover how Luther's personal authority functionally superseded any notion of fallibility, creating a lasting legacy that challenges the very premise of Protestant epistemology.

Key Takeaways:

How Lutheran confessions codified Luther's theology as definitive.
The absence of any admission of error by Luther or his followers in foundational documents.
The implications for 'Sola Scriptura' when its founder's views are treated as uncorrectable.
Join us as we strip bare the historical record and confront the uncomfortable truth about Luther's enduring, magisterial role in the Reformation."
