What are the criticisms, exactly?
Your quotes prove he was a heretic, which the Protestans see as his greatest asset since they do not want to believe what our holy faith teaches.

It seemed OK to me. Perhaps consider re-posting in a slightly broader context. Instead of just using the quote alone, use the quote, followed by a Lutheran explanation of the quote, then followed by why said explanation is wrong.
Have you considered typing in tongues to reach the Pentecostals?

This post has as much Thomism as Amoris Laetitia!
Anyway, I think those criticisms are valid, honestly.

I'm considering taking it down and focusing on my new article toward Protestants. I don't want to come across like I'm attacking the same group I want to reach.

The criticisms were from a Lutheran, so...I can understand why he would go to the "out of context" line. For me, with all due respect for his sincerity, that's always seemed like a weak response. Whether in or out of context, it is never okay to call Jesus an adulterer and fornicator. Period. Perhaps the "out of context" bit is an insulator keeping him from addressing Protestantism's issues.
you're absolutely right about it being wrong to say that about Jesus. That one I simply couldn't engage beyond, "Dude, you're wrong, and I'll pray for you." I was referring to the other comments; guess I should've clarified earlier.

I trashed the article. I'm going to work on primarily answering Protestant questions by quoting Scripture. I don't think the other approach is going to be effective.
