A strong case I should think is that the quote is corroborated by another person from antiquity and not copied from Leibniz, ie independent of Leibniz.<BR/><BR/>I can trust Leibniz' philosophy of mathematics but I am skeptical of his theological philosophy, I have not read any. Leibniz' idea of identity is superb.<BR/><BR/><BR/>LPCLPChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11352627830833515548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19795707.post-39999366067627187722008-01-10T21:17:00.000-05:002008-01-10T21:17:00.000-05:00JS,Apparently towards the latter part of Luther's ...JS,<BR/><BR/>Apparently towards the latter part of Luther's life, he begged his readers to forgive him for the Roman influences of his earlier works.<BR/><BR/>Would you know of such possible quotes?

May Our Lord bless you all.<BR/><BR/>Also, I pray God bless all that you say and to for the profit of His Kingdom and that the Holy Spirit guard all against that which detracts.
