PerfectOppa 925 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I've found this blog and this title and I really don't know what to think about this. In a book entitled On Jews and Their lies, Luther wrote: “My advice, as I said earlier, is: First, that their synagogues be burned down, and that all who are able toss sulphur and pitch; it would be good if someone could also throw in some hellfire...Second, that all their books-- their prayer books, their Talmudic writings, also the entire Bible-- be taken from them, not leaving them one leaf, and that these be preserved for those who may be converted...Third, that they be forbidden on pain of death to praise God, to give thanks, to pray, and to teach publicly among us and in our country...Fourth, that they be forbidden to utter the name of God within our hearing. For we cannot with a good conscience listen to this or tolerate it…The rulers must act like a good physician who, when gangrene has set in proceeds without mercy to cut, saw, and burn flesh, veins, bone, and marrow. Such a procedure must also be followed in this instance. Burn down their synagogues, forbid all that I enumerated earlier, force them to work, and deal harshly with them. If this does not help we must drive them out like mad dogs." I'm aware of the heroic things he has contributed to the world, but it saddens me deeply to know that he literally just hated Jews. I've just re-watched the Schindler's List movie and this blog wasn't exactly what I needed. What's your opinion?

Kuu-sus 847 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 this is not shocking at all once you found out its not Jr. but the Lutheran guy Europeans were anti-Semitic since year 0 till the holocaust, but now I guess they try not to be since that would look bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stargazer 3,343 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 A lot of people in the late Middle Ages Europe shared that same sentiment so its not that shocking. What would have been shocking is if it had been Martin Luther King Jr. who hated Jews and I'm glad to see that it isn't him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted account. 518 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 How can you be a Christian and hate Jews like wasn't Jesus Jewish? Yes but in the Bible Jews were the ones who decided to crucify Jesus that's why christians would "have a reason" to hate jews. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milup 1,920 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Yes but in the Bible Jews were the ones who decided to crucify Jesus that's why christians would "have a reason" to hate jews. thats also stupid because with Jesus dying doesnt Christianity become impossible? I that case Christians should love jews Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
denizen mars 5,911 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 What would have been shocking is if it had been Martin Luther King Jr. who hated Jews and I'm glad to see that it isn't him outright hate would be very shocking. casual antisemitism would not be. Southern Baptists were not particularly Jew or Catholic friendly in the 1960's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GUILD 3,195 Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 Well Jews can refer to the ethnicity and they can also refer to the practice, culture and belief system which (perhaps contrary to popular belief?) goes blatantly against the sole basis of Christianity, which is in a nutshell, "Jesus was telling the truth, and was who he said he was". That being said, it's not right to hate anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
