Nancy, I was wondering if that might be an issue (about Luther being involved with anti-semitism not what Chris's approval of Luther may be based on). One of the issues that troubled me about the Lutheran church was how quickly it was politicized. Luther and his followers were co opted by the northern German princes as a political weapon to use in their struggles with the Holy Roman Empire. Those princes were anti-semitic, as many European princes were. I know they forced many secular compromises on Luther later in exchange for protection and endorsement. I wasn't sure, but suspected, anti-semitism was one. I don't support that. What I studied when I was still active as a Lutheran was his early writings which were, imo, a purer representation of his origional teachings. The importance of an individual relationship with God. Regards Henry BTW thank you for the blessing and to you also.

"Martin Luther taught great things and loved the Jews in the beginning of his ministry. Unfortunately he became strongly anti-semetic at the end of his life and that is what Chris is probably referring to and has learned well from his studies" I think we should post Martin Luther writings in his book The Jews and their Lies. We should examine his claims with the Scriptures and history to determine if his words are true. The Word of God tells us to examine a thing before we make a decision to discord it. We can determine for ourselves if His words are true or false. I can assure you that the likes of the Markoffs and other heretics on this thread will shriek with disapproval at such a Christian approach. Martin Luther never became "anti-semitic" but rather became enlightened about the true teachings of modern talmudidc Judaism. It is the sacred duty of a Christian to expose the horrible antichrist teachings of modern antichrist Judaism when he learns about them. Luther was simply doing his duty to God and man. Your duty as a heretic is to try and hide the truth about modern talmudic Judaism because you love the darkness of the talmudic modern Judaism more than you love the light of the Body of Christ--the Christian Church. You have become polluted with these vile teachings. It is the antichrist religion of Talmudism and its conscious adherents that Luther opposed and not the Jewish people as an ethnic or cultural group. We can thank God that most Jewish people do not adhere to the teachings of modern talmudic Judaism.
