So, you refuse to go and read. Can't help you. Lutheran doctrine and practice are based upon Scripture and the Lutheran Confessions not Luther.

Resolved, That we avoid the recurring pitfall of recrimination (as illustrated by the remarks of Luther and many of the early church fathers) against those who do not respond positively to our evangelistic efforts; and be it finally

Resolved, That, in that light, we personally and individually adopt Luther's final attitude toward the Jewish people, as evidenced in his last sermon: "We want to treat them with Christian love and to pray for them, so that they may become converted and would receive the Lord."(Weimar editon, Vol 51, Pg 195)

Luther wasn’t the first man of God to really stick his foot into things badly at the start. By the time he knew better he wouldn’t have been able to get rid of all those books any more than he could have collected the contents of a feather pillow shaken into the wind.

>>So, you refuse to go and read.

Oh I’ve read it before, and I just read it again — and it STILL fails to acknowledge and explain the contraction rendered by disparate translations of The Jews and Their Lies published by Concordia and other versions published 10 years earlier by organizations such as “The Christian Nationalist Crusade”.

Furthermore, it seems a little disingenuous of LCMS Lutherans to quack about the Christian Identify Movement...

...without acknowledging that a significant source of propaganda used by such groups is:
