Martin Luther, The Antisemite

The sin of antisemitism is a denial of the Christian faith. It's the death of Christian love. Love and hate cannot come out of the same mouth; that mind is evil, that life is evil, and that soul is evil. There is no such thing as Christian antisemitism. Christian antisemitism? I think not! That is an oxymoron! A Christian is a synonym for God's love. The words Christian (love) and antisemitism (hate) do not go together. The birth of antisemitism, the teaching of church fathers Justin Martyr, Tertullian, Origen, Eusebius, John Chrysostom, and Jerome, birthed the antisemitic hatred in the soul of Martin Luther. "Scholars have debated Calvin's view of the Jews and Judaism. Some have argued that Calvin was the least antisemitic among all the major Reformers of his era, especially in comparison to Martin Luther." I'm not trying to be offensive to Lutherans, but this is something you weren't taught in Lutheran catechism class.

Here are some quotes: "Jews are a base, whoring 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 whore and an evil slut." "Set fire to their synagogues or schools and... bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them. This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians, and do not condone or knowingly tolerate such public lying, cursing, or blaspheming of his Son and of his Christians."

"The worse a Jew is, the more arrogant he is, solely because he is a Jew."

"The devil with all his angels has taken possession of his people." "If I had to baptize a Jew, I would take him to the bridge of the Elbe, hang a stone around his neck, and push him over with the words, 'I baptize thee in the name of Abraham.'" "The Jewish people should have their tongues cut out of the back of their heads!" Then Martin Luther wrote, quote: "Know this, Christian, that next to the devil himself, you have no more bitter enemy than the Jewish people. They should have their tongues cut out through the back of their neck, and their synagogues should be burned to the ground." Martin Luther made that statement. Martin Luther soon died after that.

The Nazi propaganda poster from 1933 reads, "Hitler's fight and Luther's teaching are the best defense for the German people." Hitler had pamphlets of Martin Luther handed out throughout the Third Reich. Hitler exploited Luther's writings. The Nazis saw Luther as a "spiritual father" of their movement, utilizing his antisemitic writings, like On The Jews And Their Lies, as justification for their persecution of Jews. THESE ARE LUTHER'S WORDS

In 1933, Hitler marked the 450th anniversary of Luther's birth. The Nazis organized a nationwide "German Luther Day." The event's main speaker praised Luther's "ethno-nationalist mission" and called for the "completion of the German Reformation in the Third Reich," associating Luther's legacy with Nazi goals. Hitler used Luther's birthday for Kristallnacht. Nazi propaganda also highlighted the coincidence of the Kristallnacht pogroms in 1938 with Luther's birthday, November 9-10, likely seeking to link the violence against Jews to Luther's antisemitic writings. Seeds planted by Luther took root in the mind of Hitler, resulting in a systematic, antisemitic theological harvest of hatred for the Jewish people. Adolf Hitler also attended a Roman Catholic school as a child and was mentally poisoned by the mantra, "The Jews are the killers of Christ!"
