Nancy, It is hard to judge someone based on our culture today when looking back 400 years.
To me, Jesus summed up his thoughts about the Jews.
"38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate. 39For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Mat. 23
Have they to this day ever said. "Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord.?"
Yes, there house has been left desolate many times throughout the centuries yet you attack anyone who dares to tell it like it is. The truth of the matter is, you, who will not even call yourself a Christian, but instead answers only to the name of Messianic Jew, is as biased as they come. I hold no value to your credibility whatsoever.
I can always go back in history when the Jews were sub-human, even reports of infanticide and cannibalism. Of course, I suspect,or should I say know that you have relatives that are Jews and you are afraid that they are going to be judged as they rightly should.
Instead of trying to put the heat upon Luther, who indeed did change the course of Church history. His courage brought in the Protestant religion and freed many people from being taxed on forgiveness and salvation by the greedy Cardinals and the Pope.
Now Jesus wasted no time in labeling the Jews as hippocrites, vipers and such. I would say that maybe you needed to live in that time to make judgements that Luther was a sinner.
