Moved from SEP board--about Martin Luther

...
The Holy Spirit is the best teacher. To reach the Spirit's intended meaning of a passage the reader has to pay attention to and respect the marks on the page rather than try and read an interpretation into a passage.

In this case, 1 John 1:6, the word, "we," is a first person plural. It isn't secret code for a third person plural. Since it is a first person plural it includes John, the Apostles, and the intended recipients, that is, it includes all Christians.

What you are suggesting is that your interpretation of 1 John 1:6 overrules what the passage actually says.
...
Yes BJ Bear, the Holy Spirit is the best teacher.

So, did Dr. Martin Luther reach the Spirit's intended meaning of beyn ha'arbayim in his translation of Exodus 12:6, or did the Wartburg Project English translators reach the Spirit's intended meaning of beyn ha'arbayim in their Evangelical Heritage Version (EHV) of 2019?

[Exodus 12:6 Evangelical Heritage Version (EHV) The Holy Bible, Evangelical Heritage Version®, EHV®, © 2019 Wartburg Project, Inc. All rights reserved.

6 You are to keep it until the fourteenth day of this month. Then the whole assembly of the Israelite community is to slaughter the lambs at sunset.[a]

[a] Literally between the evenings, very likely between sunset and darkness.]

BTW, "between the evening(s)" is plural. If your answer is the Wartburg Project English translators, then why would the Holy Spirit wait until 2019 to reveal this Truth to English speaking saints in Christ Jesus on earth? Did the Wartburg Project English translators believe that Dr. Martin Luther was incorrect in his translation of Exodus 12:6? How can sunset be between, sunset and darkness?

Shameful disrespect of Dr. Martin Luther.
I was raised in a Mennonite home.

I own a book of our genealogy in German that traces our history back to Russia and before that to Germany. Mennonites left and more broadly Anabaptists left Germany because Luther called for them to be killed.

Luther had deadly disrespect for Christians. Anabaptists of course do NOT see infant baptism rituals in scripture.

You called it wrong. Mennonites should respect the terrorist?
Show us the scriptures.

Mennonites forgave Luther. 500 years later the Lutherans came to the Mennonites and asked for forgiveness.

Too bad your book isn't true. Luther wasn't perfect, no mere human is. But he closed the door to Catholic false teaching.

Calling the man who brought Protestantism to the world a terrorist is shameful.

Some may claim he opened the door for a false belief called faith alone theology:

James 2:24---King James Version
24 Ye see then how that by works a man is justified, and not by faith only.
