Because Luther underscored his disappointment that Judaism is an enemy of the gospel does not in the least mean that Luther would have supported the murders of this socialist man, Hitler.

I suggest you read this.

I have previously read everything that Luther had to say about Jews.

Luther thought that the reformation of the church would allow Jews to see Christianity properly presented, and that that would cause them to turn to their Messiah. Luther was very disappointed. He then saw Paul’s admonition that Judaism is an “enemy of the gospel.”

To suggest that Luther’s disappointment would in any manner have him condone Hitler’s contempt for and rejection of the scripture is utter prejudice and total ignorance of what Luther represented.

As already stated....Godwin’s Law rules regarding this article.

BTW, I am NOT a Lutheran.
