I grew up in the Luth...Poor Martin Luther indeed! I grew up in the Lutheran tradition (5th generation, at least) but I was saved outside of it, and do not worship there as an adult. <br /><br />Martin Luther gave us so much that was good, but the same as with so many Christian leaders - including Biblical Patriarchs - was deeply flawed. <br /><br />The one aspect of his life that casts the deepest shadow on his accomplishments for me is his deeply rooted anti-semitism. Initially, Luther advised kindness toward the Jews in that Jesus was Born a Jew, but only with the aim of converting them to Christianity. When his efforts at conversion failed, he grew increasingly bitter toward them, and later wrote things about them so vile and hateful that the Nazis cited his works to justify their actions! <br /><br />It would be easy to excuse him by saying he was a product of his culture. But how could the one who advocated "sola scriptura" read the book of Romans and maintain that attitude? <br /><br />Thank God for His Grace AND mercy, but it is troubling.Deb Whttp://oldkentuckyhomebody.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5439971908848990993.post-6088490466000358162011-10-31T14:36:17.649+00:002011-10-31T14:36:17.649+00:00AMEN! We are celebrating Reformation Day as well! ...AMEN! We are celebrating Reformation Day as well! Our church has a 'gym night' (that is mostly to avoid the halloween scene) but we always invite people over after that to watch the movie "Martin Luther". And we usually have some reading of the 95 theses. But, as you so aptly put it, we are mostly grateful to the Lord for our FREE gift of salvation!The Coderlambianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16683159579544155288noreply@blogger.com
