Luther was a vicious antisemite who wrote a seven point plan adopted by the Germans against the Jews. One whose faith depends on Luther will defend him.
He learned it directly from his Catholic upbringing. He did not become instantly perfect. He was flawed like all men.
"One whose faith depends on Luther will defend him.
I don't know a single soul "whose faith depends on Luther."
Luther agitated against the demonic cult known as Judaism.
He was SPECIFICALLY NOT an anti-Semite yet would not countenance Judaizers and, as well, neither Mohammedans.
Yes I am equating them both.
Christ is of all and in all. To deny the Christ of Nazareth as the Messiah is spiritual death.
As Luther taught - The non-messianic Judaic tradition, the Mohamedans, and likewise the Mormons, JW and other cults are NOT Christian and accordingly will not be accorded Salvation. They teach and preach an erroneous doctrine/theology.
Here I stand.
Anti-Semitism was non uncommon in “Christian” Europe, including Germany, and existed independent of Luther. Google Johann Eck. He was a Catholic theologican and pretty anti-semitic himself.
