If one has faith to hope and pray for Luther's repentance and redemption, go for it.

Why would one do that? Luther died and was judged, not on his merit, but on Christ's. Rather pray for the living like yourself that hate would not destroy them.

Rather the cognitive dissonance shown on this subject, by some posters who harp on the AS of Luther and deny the AS by their church leadership, one that had effects at the time because of the secular power wielded by the papacy, exposes the rankest of hypocrisy.

With such defenders, it give new insight into how the priestly abuse scandal developed and sustained itself. When the acolytes of the abusers defend them and attack the victims at the first sign of discovery, it is reminiscent of the Wicked Witch of the West's flying monkey brigade.

I'll bold it for you in case you miss it: Again, when will or did the Catholic church shed its anti-semitic practice?

Every failure to answer, really does provide the answer to lurkers wondering about the intellectual honesty of the Catholic defenders.

I didn't know Lutherans believe Luther is not subject to Matthew 25. With a denomination named after him, I should not be shocked at that. Or perhaps Lutherans consider Matthew 25 to be occurring past, present, and future as every individual passes from this world. Are you asking for prayer to avoid Luther's false teaching ?
