Martin Luther quote: lack of article is against Sabellianism; word order is against Arianism

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 9) 00:06:12 – 00:07:14

Mike continues citing Wallace who himself references Luther's summary of John 1:1's grammar.

Martin Luther's well-known summary of John 1:1's structure: "The lack of an article is against Sabellianism; the word order is against Arianism." This means: (1) the anarthrous theos distinguishes the Word from the Father (not the same person), and (2) the word order (predicate before verb) asserts the Word shares the divine nature without being the Father.
