Two very different texts.

The CHRISTIAN NATIONALIST CRUSADE version [which I think maybe just contains excerpts] doesn't seem to have this:

[the unjust God lets such holy people curse (I wanted to say "pray") so vehemently in vain against our Messiah

and all Christians. He does not care to see or have anything to do either with them or with their pious conduct, which is so thickly, thickly, heavily, heavily coated with the blood of the Messiah and his Christians.]

http://www.colchestercollection.com/titles/pdf/O/on-the-jews.pdf  (page 129)

"the unjust God"

"heavily, heavily coated with the blood of the Messiah and his Christians"

Is that Martin Luther's doctrinal opinion of the crucifixion?  

Gee whiz,  it sorta hard to reconcile that imagery from Martin Luther - with the whole "Christ Frees Us"...

... thing they were teaching/selling in Seward back circa 1984.  

No wonder "On the Jews and their lies" isn't referenced anywhere on the LCMS site.

Ooops.  Maybe in this case there's no "best possible construction" to construct.


I think the LCMS owes folks either an explanation, or a tuition refund.

Buy the collection I referenced, and look it up yourself. Cherry picking a quote without a context is typical of those with an axe to grind.

Missouri Synod arose in the 19th century, German speakers, they wouldn't have need of a english translation for Luther's works.

Is that Martin Luther's doctrinal opinion of the crucifixion? Gee whiz, it sorta hard to reconcile that imagery from Martin Luther - with the whole "Christ Frees Us"...

Gee whiz, unless one was a total dolt it would be hard to reconcile, unless one had an agenda. Luther was a prolific writer, how does your slection of a quote compare and contrast with the greater body of work? Yeah, thought so.
