As I said before, whatever else he was, Luther was also a bigot and that's a plain, simple fact! I make that judgment on the basis of his own words. Because one approves of one or some things Luther stood for (the Reformation), does not mean one should also accept every other thing he stood for (his bigotries). You should discern the good from the bad. To strain to accept his worst failings as blessed is a result of unwarranted hero-worship. The purpose of the Reformation was not to establish a new infallible Pope in the form of Luther, was it?

There is a lot of strife on this thread. That portion of the strife which involves Jews, Judaism and Christianity, anti-Jewish bigotry, however you want to characterize it, IMO owes its origins to that skilled propagandist, Emile. Many of his posts involve pasted-in scripture passages or devotional material and are posted by him, I believe, to win him acceptance as a devoted Christian. Once he has won such acceptance, he shifts his attention to his real interest - "antichrist talmudic satanic modern judaism", bizarre assertions about the Khazars, Jewish control of the media, anti-Zionism, assertions that the Mossad killed JFK and JFK Jr., etc., etc., etc., ad nauseum. And when his obvious bigotry is criticized, he pretends he is being attacked for his devotion to Christ. It's a shame that some people buy this ploy.

I don't believe bigotry should have a legitimate place in Christianity even if the father* of the Protestant Reformation was a bigot.

*(There were actually several such fathers.)

No James, Bruce is not coming down on the side of Christ haters. He is coming down on the side of God and Jesus Christ. If you can not see this, you have not read your bible enough to understand it's meaning. Luther was a tool of God much the same as He used Pharaoh as a tool. If you would talk about Christianity as it is written in the bible, none would refute you with words. All you have talked about lately is a clear indication of your anti-Semitism.

I, personally, would welcome your long vacation. Please take your time.

Santigo,

I told you were Anti-Semitic. Your true colors seem to be popping out all over. Your not defending Christ your defending your Hatred. Where is Shalom,Chris ect. They as well as others have come on and played the righteous role of correcting ME and OTHERS but it seems like the garbage that you spew gets there blessing. Also this thing about me being a poor little Jew with this Beanie cap scenario that you implied to is laughable. I am here because of your teachings that are satanic and Anti-Christ. The true Anti-Christ people of this world are those that claim to be him and Blaspheme Gods Holy word they are call False Christ's.

Mt:24:24: For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect.

Mt:7:15: Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Yes I know the above you wish to attach to me. The difference is that I do not claim to be a Teacher you and Emile do.

If anyone is a pure example of one who is Anti-Christ you and Emile take the honors.

It's to bad that some Judge Christ by such false teaching's as you spew. You will one day face the one that you falsely misrepresented.

Alan
