Proof please, as in how many Jews did Luther expel personally, cause to be expelled, murder etc. Another libelous charge with no proof.

Holocaust deniers and apologists have tried a similar defense. I have shown from his own words, previously and now, that Luther conspired to deprive the Jews of refuge, life, and limb. I'll post his last sweet words to his wife, and his final end, again later.

Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him. Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
First John, Catholic chapter three, Protestant verses fifteen to sixteen,
as authorized, but not authored, by King James

hat Luther conspired

You said in #142 "Luther actively persecuted the Jews to his last years". No proof of that. There is plenty of proof that Catholicism OTOH did actively do so. Why do you tout the one and ignore the other? Do you believe that actively, IOW really doing acts of persecution is less offensive that talking badly about Jews? Are you now calling for the Catholic church's actions to be seen as better as Luther's words about Jews? The Forum wonders about this disconnect.

To what extent in this glow of Reformation hatred will you go to exonerate or ignore the actions of your own church? Is there a limit? I don't pretend as some that hypocrisy is the worst crime ever, but it does remove the credibility of the presenter as it does here.

Never do the Confessional documents of the Lutherans support anti-semitism. The Catholic church OTOH has.

Re: your earlier support of Jews from the CCC, is that the same CCC where Catholics and Muslims worship the same God? If true, that could explain the Catholics' action in regards to the Jews. And yet here is a Catholic decrying Luther's opinion of the Jews.
