” We have not been given the power to make a woman out of a man or a man out of a woman or to nullify either sex”. So said Martin Luther in the Smalcald Articles. The Lutheran Elector John Frederick of Saxony gave Luther the assignment of drafting a Lutheran position of what is believed taught and confessed in case there was a church council. In 1536, Luther began to write the Smalcald Articles as part of the Lutheran preparation for a general church council, that might never take place. Reading of the beat down of a female MMA fighter by a guy who thinks he is a gal, brought home the absurdity of woke culture today and a face book post by Missouri Synod President Matt Harrison of this quote, shows wackiness is not just trans, it is transgenerational. Luther’s quote is in a section considering marriage and the ban on priests getting married.
