“I do insist on the certainty that sooner or later – once we hold power – Christianity will be overcome and the German Church established. Yes, the German church, without a Pope and without the bible, and Luther, if he could be with us, would give us his blessing.” (Adolf Hitler, Hitler’s speeches, edited by Prof. N.H. Baynes [oxford, 1942], pg. 369.)

Based on question after question you ask, it's safe to assume you're Catholic.
My question for you is, on a forum with so many non-believers, people who don't have God in their lives at all, why would you go to so much trouble to attack fellow Christians.
You, personally, are doing more in a day to drive people away from God than Luther did in months.

Martin Luther was very anti-semitic. If he was alive, he probably would have given Hitler his blessing. Luther wanted Jewish people in his area burned alive and have the pyres set along the road to light the way into his village. He stated Jews killed people babies, killed goyim, stole, raped and pillaged.
The sad thing is that Luther orignally sought out the Jew and wanted to convert him but when we would not convert, he turned on the Jewish people and wanted Jews destroyed.
He was a pathetic human being just as Hitler was.
Luther had lost his way and was not much of a Christian and Hitler certainly wasn't. Hitler knew Luther was not preaching Christian ideals and he used his and Luthers anti-semitism to bring about his own form of nationalism that would replace Christianity.

I have been reading your questions all day and while you have asked some interesting things comparing Protestant Beliefs with catholic Beliefs and the beliefs of fundamentalist Christians. This is a question beyond the pale. It is not right to attempt to link Martin Luther with Hitler using a quote from Hitler. It is not like Luther was alive at the time to disavow himself from that madman

There is one major flaw in this. How can Islam and Christianity both be true? How can they both? They have totally different ideas and perspectives. Islam is about wiping people off the face of the planet if they don't agree to become part of the Islam faith. Is Christianity like this? uh no! You need to re-ask this question just about Islam and not Christianity. Obviously you know nothing about Christianity because you asked that. Sorry, but it's true. Christianity is not similar enough to Islam that it could be categorized as the same thing!! Yes, non-Christians will be in eternal separation in hell from God, but that is not my doing, that is not the doing of a Christian. You might need to tell someone and get some help if you think you can put someone in hell. Only God can do that. Did you know that satan has to ask God to do things? look it up. It's called the bible! :) I don't mean to be rude here, but I'm just defending my faith. And Islam is not clear about it. Have you ever read any of the Quran? what the f was Mohammed smoking when he wrote it? it is inconsistent and it contradicts itself everywhere! to fix that people are all like "uhhhh yeah well, but the latest writings that contradict the old ones are true because they are latest, duh. Yeah. That's it" wouldn't you rather have a loving, all-loving, powerful, just God than one you have to earn likeness from?? if that's what you think than whatever, but seriously. God is just, yes, people that don't accept his gift to all of salvation are going to hell. Doesn't it make sense? if everyone goes to heaven, is that fair? might as well call earth heaven or yolo or something. No. Lol. Just no. Adolf hitler killed those to make a perfect German nation. Those people are either going to hell or heaven. Which has the greater scale here? Hitler wanted that all for himself. He had a prejudice, he liked only a certain people. LIKED. God loves everyone, but lets go of those who don't love him, wouldn't that make sense?! God offers eternal life to everyone! Did hitler offer life to everyone?

Well, Luther was a staunch detractor of the Catholic church because of the corruption. Hitler was a staunch detractor of Christianity. He sought to form his own Christian religion, one in which Jesus was sent here to eradicate Jews. It's what Hitler believed. Luther hated Jews as well, so that's probably what he's talking about.

They were both German. Hitler was trying to use the prestige of Luther for his nefarious plans, which were not Christian at all.

Intriguing; Luther did share Hitler's hatred of Jews, so I'm not surprised.

Note that in your quote Hilter said, "without the Bible".
Martin Luther never would have given his blessing to that.
Its obvious from this quote that Hilter was NOT a Christian.
