Reasserted Christianity, faith in what God says, not what some man like Luther says God says.

What doctrine of 'Luther's' isn't in consonance with Scripture?

On the Jews and Their Lies (German: Von den Jüden und iren Lügen; in modern spelling Von den Juden und ihren Lügen) is a 65,000-word antisemitic treatise written in 1543 by the German Reformation leader Martin Luther. In the treatise, Luther describes Jews as a "base, whoring people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth."[1] Luther wrote that they are "full of the devil's feces ... which they wallow in like swine,"[2] and the synagogue is an "incorrigible whore and an evil slut".[3] In the first ten sections of the treatise, Luther expounds, at considerable length, upon his views concerning Jews and Judaism and how these compare against Christians and Christianity. Following this exposition, Section XI of the treatise advises Christians to carry out seven remedial actions. These are - to avoid Jewish synagogues and schools and warn people against them; to refuse to let Jews own houses among Christians; for Jewish religious writings to be taken away; for rabbis to be forbidden to preach; to not offer protection for Jews on highways; for usury to be prohibited, and for all silver and gold to be removed, put aside for safekeeping and given back to Jews who truly convert; and to give young, strong Jews flail, axe, spade, spindle, and let them earn their bread in the sweat of their noses.[4] The prevailing scholarly view[5] since the Second World War is that the treatise exercised a major and persistent influence on Germany's attitude toward its Jewish citizens in the centuries between the Reformation and the Holocaust. Four hundred years after it was written, the Nazis displayed On the Jews and Their Lies during Nuremberg rallies, and the city of Nuremberg presented a first edition to Julius Streicher, editor of the Nazi newspaper Der Stürmer, the newspaper describing it as the most radically antisemitic tract ever published.

So we'll find that in doctrines of the Confessional Lutheran church then? Find it for me then in any of the following: The Augsburg Confession, The Defense of the Augsburg Confession, The Smalcald Articles, The Treatise on the Power and Primacy of the Pope, The Small Catechism, The Large Catechism, The Epitome of the Formula of Concord, The Solid Declaration of the Formula of Concord. I've read documents, but can't seem to find them.

OTOH your leaders in the Catholic church have promulgated these: Papal_Bulls_Jews.

Seems to be a discrepancy. Lots of doctrinal claims re: Luther, but zero substance. Catholics: Special badges or dress for Jews. Special taxes for Jews, Forcing Jews to remit debt of Christians, Banning, confiscating or burning Jewish law books and other writings, Encouraging or forcing conversion of Jews, Expelling Jews from Papal territories or forcing Jews to live in ghettos, Inquisition for backsliding converted Jews. No doubt more of that 'were part of the ordinary day-to-day teaching of the Church' that we heard about so recently.

Lots of underlined link; is it supposed to be DOCTRINE?
