It was 494 years today that Martin Luther nailed his 95 theses to the church door in Wittenberg.Gawd that explains everything.

They should have given him a treat.
He ended up soaping their windows but good.

The local Christian radio station played
Martin Luther's - Here I Stand by the artistic interpreter Max McLean. What a treat to hear Luther as if I had been there on the night he made his prayer for courage as well as on the day he made that famous speech. We are blessed to be a part of so great a cloud of witnesses.

Is this a caucus thread? Or is it somehow wrong to post Luther’s own words here?

It is not a caucus thread, but anti-Semitic posts are not acceptable on the RF even when they are quotes of a religious leader.
To: Religion Moderator
But a celebration of the anti semite is OK?

"We are compelled to concede to the Papists
that they have the Word of God,
that we received it from them,
and that without them
we should have no knowledge of it at all."

Hate speech is not tolerable whether using the quote to argue for or against. This is the same reason Chick, etc. are not allowed at all.
But Luther's bad speech on this particular subject is not enough to ban him altogether.
Call him anti-Semitic? Fine. Link to his quotes? Fine. Include the quote in a post where it can be requoted by AFRs out of context? No.

He had faults. Luther was not a saint. This was his biggest mistake. However, it doesn’t make the rest of what he said to be invalid.

Reformed Protestants cite Luther at their peril because he remained far closer to Catholicism than just about any other Protestant leader.

Or his belief in the necessity of water baptism for salvation.
Private confession and absolution.
The corporeal presence of Christ in holy communion
Baptismal regeneration
Etc.

The only thing Luther was ever said in complete honesty was, “sin boldly”.
