"That Jews were Christ killers, and that the currently living Jews are responsible for that supposed sin of their ancestors."

That was Luther's personal belief and the subject of three books by him.

I think of it this way:

If the Jews hadn’t killed Christ, we wouldn’t have been saved.

“That was Luther’s personal belief and the subject of three books by him.”

You’re right about that. But protestants don’t today hold Luther as any kind of “link in the chain of apostolic authority”. So that’s not really a “comeback” as you seem to intend it. Luther is not/was not/will never be the “protestant pope”.

My main post on this is at #58.

Jews were declared Christ-killers and separated from the rest of society more than a millennium before Luther. Read the writings of Church Fathers, for instance, and the laws passed by Constantine, thee first Christian Emperor of Rome, enslavement of Jews in Gothic Spain immediately prior to the Muslim conquest..

None of that had anything to do with Luther.

There is some serious irony here...in that Jews were persecuted severely in history, leading up to the Holocaust.

Yet, the same rabid lies, misinterpretation and ignorance of Catholic belief are repeated on here by the same bunch of ignoramus haters.
