Question

Luther: noble prince, gracious lord! undoubtedly the colloquy is well intentioned…. although i have no intention of changing my mind, which is firmly made up, i will nevertheless present the grounds of my belief and show where the others are in error…. your basic contentions are these: in the last analysis you wish to prove that a body cannot be in two places at once, and you produce arguments about the unlimited body which are based on natural reason. i do not question how christ can be god and man and how the two natures can be joined. for god is more powerful than all our ideas, and we must submit to his word.

Answer 1

The text above shows Luther's argument in a debate with Zwingli about the possibility of Christ being in heaven and with his disciples at the same time.

Step-by-step explanation:

In this passage, Luther wishes to affirm that the laws of physics do not apply to the divine nature of Jesus Christ, therefore, if the scriptures and the circusto affirm that he is man and spirit, been on earth and in heaven at the same time, how could we doubt that his body was really in two places? Luther claims that Christ did not say this in a subjunctive way, but that, literally, Christ was on two different planes of reality and it is not up to us humans to try to question, because the truth and logic of God is supreme and this is above ours understanding, it is up to us to just accept what is in the word of God and submit to it.
