In this Episode, Terry Jones burns a Koran, people die, and he's surprised? Really? He says he "regrets what happened", but also says "we have no regrets", and when asked if burning a Koran is a Godly or not he says, "It's certainly not normal".
Also, an Email from a listener:
My question concerns the Lutheran doctrine of salvation with regard
to whether or not one can be damned after having believed the
Gospel and having been justified through faith alone. I read
through Walther's Proper Distinction Between Law and Gospel some
months ago, and I loved the book. But I didn't understand how
Walther could say that when one is in deliberate rebellion that one
is not a child of God, one is, basically, damned.
This sounds like the conditional security espoused by Arminians,
and seems to fly in the face of the sound teaching on justification
by grace through faith alone as taught by the Formula of Concord,
Smalcald Articles, etc.
Is there any way you could help me understand how Lutherans could
simultaneously hold that a man is justified by faith apart from the
works of the Law, and yet say that if that man does not, so to
speak, continue doing his part in persevering, he is lost, damned,
reprobate, etc?
