Which version of “The Jews and Their Lies” does the LCMS assert is authentic?

Unknown, I doubt they spend much time on it. LCMS and other Christians don't subscribe to collective guilt. Martin Luther's sins were his own as are mine and everyone who has lived have their sin. The only common link is that they were all nailed to the same cross at Calvary where Christ paid the penalty for them. Martin Luther sins died with him and were forgiven by the same Jesus who was crucified on that cross.

I am an American by birth, my grandparents German immigrants, they have no guilt for the actions of Nazi Germany, and the Germans born since the war don't either. Americans as a rule don't buy the idea that a race is guilty of the sins of a member of that race. Some do, they are Progressive/Democrats they usually aren't on this board.

As far as “The Jews and Their Lies” not being in Lutheran curricula, why should it be. It isn't taught or professed. Unless you are the Highlander you weren't around when it was written, but you are choosing to be offended by it. Your right as a citizen at least for the present, but put away your tar brush.
