Would you agree that Martin Luther (of Germany) should be called the "Father of the Holocaust" ?

Question

Jesus did not call them Abraham's children, but a "brood of vipers" [Matt. 3:7]. Oh, that was too insulting for the noble blood and race of Israel, and they declared, "He has a demon' [Matt 11:18]. Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore in John 8 [:39,44] he states: "If you were Abraham's children ye would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil. It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.------Martin Luther

"And the founder of Christianity made no secret indeed of his estimation of the Jewish people. When He found it necessary, He drove those enemies of the human race out of the Temple of God. ---- Adolph Hitler, Mein Kampf, pp.174

Hitler stated: "Christ was the greatest early fighter in the battle against the world enemy, the Jews . . . The work that Christ started but could not finish, I--Adolf Hitler--will conclude."

"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
Adolf Hitler, Mein Kampf, Ralph Mannheim, ed., p. 65, New York: Mariner Books, 1999

“If I find a Jew to baptize, I shall lead him to the Elbe bridge, hang a stone around his neck, and push him into the water, baptizing him with the name of Avraham!.. I cannot convert the Jews. Our lord Christ did not succeed in doing so; but I can close their mouths so that there will be nothing for them to do but to lie upon the ground.” – Martin Luther

Martin Luther: [ in his last sermon, four days before he died, ] called for practical measures: burn their synagogues, confiscate all books in Hebrew, prohibit Jewish prayers, force them to do manual labour, and drive them out of Germany.

Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?---Martin Luther (Germany)

“What then shall we Christians do with this damned, rejected race of Jews?
First, their synagogues should be set on fire, and whatever does not burn up should be covered or spread over with dirt so that no one may ever be able to see a cinder or stone of it. And this ought to be done for the honour of God and of Christianity, in order that God may see that we are true Christians.
Secondly, their homes should be likewise broken down and destroyed.
Thirdly, they should be deprived of their prayerbooks and talmuds in which such idolatry, lies, cursing and blasphemy are taught.
Fourthly, their rabbis must be forbidden under threats of death to teach anymore.” – Martin Luther

They [rulers] must act like a good physician who, when gangrene has set in proceeds without mercy to cut, saw, and burn flesh, veins, bone, and marrow. Such a procedure must also be followed in this instance. Burn down their synagogues, forbid all that I enumerated earlier, force them to work, and deal harshly with them, as Moses did...
If this does not help we must drive them out like mad dogs.----Martin Luther

Answer 1

Actually I think HUNDREDS of years before Luther's birth, someone wrote a Hadiths which says something about "trees and rocks will cry out: There is a Jew hiding behind me, come kill it!!"

Hmmm, I wonder who inspired that little gem. I don't think it was Luther.

Ah: here it is....

The Prophet said: "The Jews will hide behind the rock and tree, and the rock and tree will say: O servant of Allah, O Muslim, this is a Jew behind me, come and kill him!"

Nope, that wasn't Martin Luther's quote

Answer 2

Mankind is a blood thirstry race handsdown regardless of religious persuasion or not. One twist on the HOLOCAUST is also that the JEWISH MOB in the United States empowered Hitler and then sacrificed their own European Jewish counterparts for War profiteering and additionally after the war, almost no european Jews where allowed to immigrate to the United States, they are all sent to the Middle East as a stronghold to get help get cheap oil in the region. The only ones allowed here from Post Nazi Germany by our the US Government under Project Paperclip were Nazi SS, Scientist , and others involved in Top Secret Scientific projects to help battle the new emerging Communist threat. But the bottom line is that if Marin Luther did not get them from almost 500 years before the fact, most likely the US JEWISH MOB did :).What do you call a Non-Jew that is mean to Jews? Answer: Anti-Semitic. What do you call a Jew that is mean to other Jews? Answer: A Jew :))).

Answer 3

Yes, in fact the Nazis quoted your citations verbatim to justify the holocaust.

The father of Protestantism was obviously being led by the devil. Here are some of the things he said about the Bible.

"If you understand the Gospel rightly, I beseech you not to believe that it can be carried on without tumult, scandal, sedition. ... The word of God is a sword, is war, is ruin, is scandal."

Source: Letter of Martin Luther to Georg Spalatin, February 1520

"The Word of God can never be advanced without whirlwind, tumult, and danger ... One must either despair of peace and tranquility or else deny the Word. War is of the Lord who did not come to send peace. Take care not to hope that the cause of Christ can be advanced in the world peacefully and sweetly, since you see the battle has been waged with his own blood and that of the martyrs."

Source: Letter of Martin Luther to Georg Spalatin, February 1520

"If we punish thieves with the yoke, highwaymen with the sword, and heretics with fire, why do we not rather assault these monsters of perdition, these cardinals, these popes, and the whole swarm of the Roman Sodom, who corrupt youth and the Church of God? Why do we not rather assault them with arms and wash our hands in their blood?"

Source: Martin Luther, On the Pope as an Infallible Teacher, 25 June 1520

"All the strife and the wars of the Old Testament prefigured the preaching of the Gospel which must produce strife, dissension, disputes, disturbance. Such was the condition of Christendom when it was at its best, in the times of the apostles and martyrs. That is a blessed dissension, disturbance, and commotion which is produced by the Word of God; it is the beginning of true faith and of war against false faith; it is the coming again of the days of suffering and persecution and the right condition of Christendom."

Answer 4

One of the earliest stories in the bible is about the Jews crying about being picked on and the Egyptians booting Old Moses and his crew out into the desert.
Follow that up with the Assyrians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, Spanish and almost everybody else evicting them at one point or another and you start to wonder why they can never get along with anybody else.

Answer 5

Yep I do agree. Martin Luther the Father of Nazism and the composer Wagner the godfather.

Answer 6

not just martin luther. there are lot of anti jewish people in the history... martin luther was declared as the anti christ by the pope.. because he was againts the true church of jesus christ.. he wanted to be powerful.. and to make his own church
edit: includes some catholic priests like saint john crysostomos.. who was an anti jewish before martin luther.. before the middle ages.. he was a bishop in the middle east, when the church was gaining territories in europe

Answer 7

All of those twisted Authors of their own accord are where they should be. This question deserves NO glory...
As, we should not give glory to name an honoree of such anisotropies.
Twisted minds are as such, psychiatrist call them sycophantic. Society calls them deranged.
Father never...
Author of excursionist maybe, masters of manipulation!! Call it like it is a rose is a rose.
A sycophantic manipulator is just that sycophantic!!

Answer 8

martin luther was a rampant antisemite. yes he did along with a lot of other germans contribute to the holocaust by making antisemitic a regular thing in germany. this man was not a christian in my eyes. anyone who says this about the jews might as well call himself an athiest. this just makes me sick. these hypocritical christians.

Answer 9

No, just one of it's vague inspirations, another chapter in over a millennium of Christian/Jewish conflict.

Answer 10

He certainly hated jews but that was normal among christians
