so here I stand, I can do no other, God help me  |
Well now N.S., that's mighty cavalier of you to apologize for another man's words, but in Martin Luther's case, doing so makes you contradictory. You cannot admire a man for his words, while apologizing for his words at the same time, and expect to be taken seriously. As you well know, Martin Luther hated jews, and urged Christians to drive them out of their country because jews hated Christ, as they still do, and because jew money changers were robbing Christian people.
Now you'll say you admire some of Martin Luther's words, but not all. Right ??
Do you also apologize for some of God's words too ?? Such as for example, St John 8:44 wherein God, thru his son, told the jews: "Ye are of your father, the devil."
How about after Pontius Pilot told the jews "I can find no fault with this man". And the jews cried: "Crucify him, crucify him, and let his blood be upon us and our children."
And, 1 Thessalonians 2:14-16 says: "...for you suffered like things of your own countrymen as they did from THE JEWS, WHO KILLED BOTH THE LORD JESUS and the prophets, and drove us out and displease God, and oppose all men."
Do you apologize for all that, too ??? And do you apologize for me quoting God, for you ??
