Luther wad more than an hater of Judaism since his targets were flesh-and-bloode people - whom Jesus called neighbors - than merely the system of Judaism.

Anti-Semites are racists, and racists appeared on the scene much later in history—after the Enlightenment and the French Revolution. Luther did not think of Jews in ethnic terms; his bias was religious. Just before his death he admonished the princes to treat converts from Judaism as brethren.”<br /> Martin R.

He continued the problematic Christian practice of thinking that, rather than praying for and evaneglizing the Jews, it was perfectly within God's plan to spew forth hatred and deny one's Jewish neighbors their civil rights. Scripture has Christians making Jews jealous, and the only acceptable offense is that of the Gospel. The history of the behavior of Lutheran states towards the Jews bears me out.Kirk Skeptichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06142889734004402296noreply@blogger.com
