Default Martin Luther - The Jews and Their Lies, 1543

Quote:
"I had made up my mind to write no more either about the Jews or against them. But since I learned that those 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 and 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 an easy task, not only with the weak but also with the strong. May God help us. Amen." --Martin Luther (1483 - 1546), monk, theologian, and church reformer

Is your point to highlight the well-known fact that Martin Luther was a virulent anti-Semite?

Why is so hard to believe that back in 16th Century Europe, the minority Jewish were able to persecute Christians with "poisonous activities"

Yeah, so what? The Lutheran Church does not practice those views anymore. It doesn't hold the world or past leaders in black and white/all or nothing regard. Martin Luther had some things right, and some wrong, and not everything he did is held as canon by the Lutheran Church.

Compare that to the Catholic Church he broke away from, which still to this day demands obedience to centuries old outdated views that were just a result of political wrangling in the early church and have nothing to do with being Christian or the Bible.
