In his book The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich, William L. Shirer wrote: It is difficult to understand the behavior of most German Protestants in the first Nazi years unless one is aware of two things: their history and the influence of Martin Luther. The great founder of Protestantism was both a passionate anti-Semite and a ferocious believer in absolute obedience to political authority. He wanted Germany rid of the Jews. Luther's advice was literally followed four centuries later by Hitler, Goering and Himmler.
"There is no other explanation for this than the one cited earlier from Moses - namely, that God has struck [the Jews] with 'madness and blindness and confusion of mind' [Deuteronomy 28:28]. So we are even at fault in not avenging all this innocent blood of our Lord and of the Christians which they shed for three hundred years after the destruction of Jerusalem, and the blood of the children they have shed since then (which still shines forth from their eyes and their skin). We are at fault in not slaying them."

In 1543 Luther published On the Jews and Their Lies in which he says that the Jews are a "base, whor-ing people, that is, no people of God, and their boast of lineage, circumcision, and law must be accounted as filth."They are full of the "devil's feces ... which they wallow in like swine."The synagogue was a "defiled bride, yes, an incorrigible wh-ore and an evil sl-ut ..."He argues that their synagogues and schools be set on fire, their prayer books destroyed, rabbis forbidden to preach, homes razed, and property and money confiscated. They should be shown no mercy or kindness, afforded no legal protection, and these "poisonous envenomed worms" should be drafted into forced labor or expelled for all time. He also seems to advocate their murder, writing "[w]e are at fault in not slaying them".Luther claims that Jewish history was "assailed by much heresy", and that Christ swept away the Jewish heresy and goes on to do so, "as it still does daily before our eyes." He stigmatizes Jewish Prayer as being "blasphemous" (sic) and a lie, and vilifies Jews in general as being spiritually "blind" and "surely possessed by all devils." Luther has a special spiritual problem with Jewish circumcision. -Wikipedia
Martin Luther did eliminate many Roman Catholic beliefs from his theology but also embraced many other evil doctrines such as:
Luther kept believing in a revised version of the Roman Catholic Mass or **MESS** if you accepted it by faith.
Luther believed in only infant baptism and condemned those who practiced baptism by immersion.
He also condemned the Anabaptists who were pacifists and wouldn't fight in the German armies against the Roman Catholic French armies. Many Anabapists were later called Amish or Mennonites.
He also committed what some belive is an unpardonable sin by believing and teaching that the books of James and Revelation were not inspired by God. **TAKING WORDS AWAY** from the Book of Revelation is an **UNPARDONABLE SIN** as per Revelation 22:18,19.
Luther rightly believed that salvation and Faith are **FREE GIFTS** but did not understand that God's born again saints are **GOD'S WORKMANSHIP** and are anxious to do good works with the hope of countless **ETERNAL REWARDS** for faithful and loving service.
Martin Luther was completely evil for blaming the Jews for every sin in the world. It is true that unbelieving Jews shouted for Pilate to crucify Jesus but Jesus asked the Father to forgive them since they didn't understand what they were doing, as per Luke 23:34, and didn't understand the New Covenant of Jesus.
Howver, God inspired 32 Jews to write the Old Testament and 8 Jews to write the New Testament. and Jesus chose 12 Jewish Apostles. And Jewish apostles, preachers, teachers and evangelists brought the Christian Gospel to all parts of the Roman World.
Romans 11:25-29: I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers, so that you may not be conceited. Israel has experienced a hardening in part until the full number of Gentiles as come in, {During the Great Tribulation} and in this way all Israel will be saved. As it is written: "The Deliverer will come from Zion, He will turn godlessness away from Jacob. And this is My Covenant with them when I take away your sins." As far as the Gospel is concerned, they are enemies for your sake; but as far as election is concerned, they are loved because of the {JEWISH} Patriarchs . For God's gifts and His call are irrevocable!!
I was a missionary in Israel and would make a wild guess that their may be about 4,000 truly born again Jewish believers in Israel and about 30,000 born again Jews in the USA.
Presently there are about 6 1/2 million Jews in Israel and about 6 1/2 million Jews in the USA and about 1 1/2 million Jews in the rest of the world and according to Zechariah 13:8,9 **ONE THIRD** or almost **5 MILLION JEWS** will be saved during the Great Tribulation with the help of 144,000 Jewish Evangelists as per Revelation 7:3-8 and God's 2 Jewish witnesses {Moses and Elijah} as per Revelation 11:3-13!!
Zechariah 13:8,9: In the whole land," declares the Lord, "Two-thirds will be struck down and perish {During the Great Tribulation}, yet one third will be left. This third I will put into the fire; I will refine them like silver and test them like gold. They will call on My name and I will answer them; I will say,"They are My people," and they will say, "The Lord is our God!!"

Luther claimed we are saved by **FAITH ALONE** And the contradicted himself by claiming that you must also be baptized and participate in Masses to be saved???

Actually *SAD*lup your extremely Satanic teachings are not believed by any of the born again Christian believers in this **CHRISTIAN**forum! Your Jewish doctrines would be gladly accepted on any Jewish Forum but are completely obnoxious in a **CHRISTIAN** forum. My posts are loaded with God's Word which exposes all of **SAD**lup's Satanic teachings such as:
***That our great God and Savior Jesus Christ **IS NOT GOD** and His blood DOES MAKE ATONEMENT FOR OUR SINS**!!
*** That Jesus did not change any OT Laws.
***That Paul was a **WICKED** man and none of his books are inspired by God which is about half of the New Testament.
**That we are saved by **GOOD WORKS** including keeping all of the OT Laws.
WOW!! **SAD**LUP ALSO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN ETERNAL TORMENT IN HELL FOR THE LOST UNBELIEVER**???
**BUT WHAT DOES GOD'S WORD SAY**??
Revelation 19:20; 20:10: But the Beast {666} was captured, and with him the False Prophet who had performed the signs on his behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the Beast and worshiped his image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.... And the Devil, who deceived them, was thrown into the lake of burning sulfur, where the Beast and the False Prophet had been thrown. They will be **TORMENTED DAY AND NIGHT FOR EVER AND EVER!!
Revelation 14:9-11: The angel said in a loud voice, "If anyone worships the Beast and his image and receives the mark on their forehead or on their hand, they, too, will drink the wine of God's fury, which has been poured full strength into the cup of His wrath. They will be tormented with burning sulfur in the presence of the holy angels and the **LAMB**. And the smoke of **THEIR TORMENT WILL RISE FOR EVER AND EVER**. There will be **NO REST DAY OR NIGHT** for those who worship the Beast!!
Matthew 25:41,46: "Then Jesus will say to those on His left, 'Depart from Me, you who are cursed, into the **ETERNAL FIRE** prepared for the Devil and his angels.... Then they will go away to **ETERNAL PUNISHMENT**, but the righteous to **ETERNAL LIFE**!!
Daniel 12:1,2: There will be a time of distress {The Great Tribulation} such as not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people--everyone whose name is found written in the {**LAMB'S**} Book--will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to **EVERLASTING LIFE**, others to shame and **EVERLASTING CONTEMPT**!

WOW!! **SAD**LUP ALSO DOESN'T BELIEVE IN ETERNAL TORMENT IN HELL FOR THE LOST UNBELIEVER**???
SAD*lup** also makes the ridiculous claim that Jesus who not even God never changed even one Old Testament Law???
**HOWEVER**: **JESUS MADE MANY AMAZING AND TOUGHER CHANGES TO OLD TESTAMENT MARRIAGE, ADULTERY AND DIVORCE LAWS ***THAT WERE **MUCH MORE LAWLESS*** THAN THE **NEW LAWS** OF OUR GREAT GOD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST**!!
Matthew 5:27,28: Jesus says, "You have heard that it was said, 'You shall not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already **COMMITTED ADULTERY** with her in his heart."{This sin is never even mentioned in the Old Testament!}
**THIS WOULD INCLUDE PICTURES OR VIDEOS OF A WOMAN ON TELEVISION OR THE INTERNET OR IN PORNOGRAPHY**!!
Matthew 19::3-9: Some Pharisees came to Jesus to test Him. They asked, "Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any and every reason?" "Haven't you read," Jesus replied, "That at the beginning the Creator made them male and female' and said, 'For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife and the two will become one flesh.' So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefor what God has joined together, let no one separate." Why then the Pharisees asked, did Moses command that a man give his wife a certificate of divorce and send her away?" Jesus replied, "MOSES PERMITTED YOU TO DIVORCE YOUR WIVES BECAUSE **YOUR HEARTS WERE HARD**, but it was not this way from the beginning. But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife except for sexual immorality, and marries another woman commits adultery!!!"
In the Old Testament you could divorce your wife for almost any reason by just giving her a certificate of divorce as per Deuteronomy 24:1,3. Actually it is almost impossible in the New Testament to divorce your wife if she is a believer, since Jesus also said in Matthew 18:22 that you should forgive your brother or wife not 7 times but 77 times which can also be translated 7 times 70 times!!
And according to I Corinthians 7:12-15 you can only divorce an unbelieving wife **IF SHE LEAVES YOU* even though you have been a good husband.
I Corinthians 7:12,13,15: If any brother has a wife who is not a believer and she is willing to live with him, **HE MUST NOT DIVORCE HER**. And if a woman has a husband who is not a believer and he is willing to live with her, **SHE MUST NOT DIVORCE HIM**!... But if an unbeliever leaves, let it be so. The brother or the sister is not bound in such circumstances. God has called us to live in peace!
THIS COMPLETELY CHANGES OT LAWS ON DIVORCE**!!
In the Old Testament King David had 8 wives and Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines without any penalty??? But in the New Testament you can have only **ONE WIFE**!!As per I Corinthians 7:2; ! Timothy 3:2,12 and Titus 1:6.
**THIS COMPLETELY CHANGED OT MARRIAGE LAWS**!!
In the OT rich people like Solomon could also afford to have **MANY CONCUBINES** which they could have sex with, without any penalty???
2 Samuel 5:13 - "After he left Hebron, David took more concubines and wives in Jerusalem, and more sons and daughters were born to him."
