Would you still be a Protestant if.....?

Question

Which famous religious leader said the following;?

I had made up my mind to write no more either about the Jews or against
them. But since I learned that these miserable and accursed people do
not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I
have published this little book, so that I might be found among those
who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews who warned the
Christians to be on their guard against them. I would not have believed
that a Christian could be duped by the Jews into taking their exile and
wretchedness upon himself. However, the devil is the god of the world,
and wherever God's word is absent he has aneasy task, not only with the
weak but also with the strong. May God help us. Amen.

And: Therefore the blind Jews are truly stupid fools...


Who was he and what did he write?


Would you believe anything else that he said?


Would you follow his religious ideas?

Answer 1

That would be Martin Luther

Answer 2

What does this have to do with anything??

Everyone with half a brain and any Christian education knows that the Catholic Church persecuted Jews for hundreds of years because they blamed the Jewish people for Christ's death (recall that it was Jewish authorities that plotted against and denied Christ, and that it was the Jewish crowd that called out "Crucify him.") Why do you think there was such a huge uproar among Jewish people claiming that "The Passion of the Christ" movie was Anti-sematic? They claimed that Mel Gibson, a devout Catholic, had shown the Jewish people in a negative way. The Jewish people today know all too well that their people were persecuted for hundreds and hundreds of years by the Church. Besides, Martin Luther was a truly devout Catholic, and never originially intended to break away from the Church. Don't you know that?

Even up until the 1800s most denominations openly chastised and persecuted Jews, again citing that they had killed and denied the Messiah (Christ). Why do you think so many people at Ellis Island (Jewish people) changed their names from things like "Perizcnek" to "Perry." They didn't want to be persecuted in their new predominantly Christian country!

It wasn't until the Evangelical movement of the late 1800s and 1900s here in the United States that the Jewish people found a friend in the Protestants. This naturally gained steam after the Holocaust and the establishment of Israel as a nation.

Today, you are right; Protestants, and mainly conservatives in the United States believe that it is right to ally with the Jewish people.

Did you set out to prove something? Sorry if I "slowed your roll."

Answer 3

Martin Luther wrote that statement but as all people are sinners so was he one also. It was not right what he wrote but that does not mean that he did not write many other great things. A lot of people look don on Luther for many of his beliefs but remember that this was a time of lack of knowledge of the scriptures due to the church keeping so much hidden from the people. I think it is amazing that people back then even knew God and served Him (obviously by his grace) that in itself is an amazing thing when you look at the era and the persecution they faced for standing against church doctrines. People should look at the good they did for God instead of nitpick their faults.

If it wasn't for people like Wicliffe, Tyndale, the Lollards, Luther, Calvin etc. we probably wouldn't even have a bible to read from today. So be thankful that though they were not perfect they still accomplished a great deal for mankind.

Answer 4

Martin Luther. A know anti-Semitic, former Catholic priest and infamous Protestant reformer said these things. Would I believe ANYTHING else that he wrote, yes, but suspiciously and only after comparing it to the Scriptures, as I do with all the works of man. No, I am not a Protestant, in the traditional sense of the word, unless you include protesting Protestants in the definition.

Answer 5

Not all non-catholic Christians are protestant. There are a lot of christian churches that deplore the protestant church and the catholic. Don't fall into the catholic trap that all churches were part of the catholic church at one time, that's not true. There has been a remnant of the true church that has survived throughout the last 1755 years since the first split in 251 A.D.

Answer 6

Im not a follower of Luther, Calvin, or any other "protestant leaders" and I really dont care what they said. I am a follower of Christ and I believe the Bible. I do not follow Catholicism merely on their coming away from the Bible, making up new rules and their denying of wrongdoing within their churches.

Answer 7

I think he was right.
A Jewish person is okay.
The Jewish organization is what we have to worry about.

Answer 8

Answer 9
