I don't think this was Luther, but if you can find me a reference otherwise, I would very much like to read it. Thomas Campbell is the one I have heard credited with the Silence of Scripture hermeneutic. Luther practiced infant baptism and this is not in the Bible, so if he did say what you claim, he would be in the position of not practicing what he preached. For the record, I do not think "Silence of Scripture" is a good hermeneutic principle at all. Just look at what it has done in the Church of Christ movement. If the Bible does not contain all knowledge and all truth, then "Silence of Scripture" is a very foolish hermeneutic principle. Peace be with you.
