What do you think about Luther Reforming the Church, but still publishing/sharing Anti-Jewish, Misogynistic Texts/World views
I'm a Protestant myself but I'm Confused:
Luther said things like:
All synagogues must be burned
Rabbis should stop preaching otherwise they shall be killed
Death in childbirth is nothing more than dying in the noble work and obedience of God. Whether the women become weary and ultimately die carrying the babies, that does no harm. Let them die carrying them; that is why they are here.
[These aren't always the exact World's he used, it is just my shitty translation from German to English]
I feel like luther has not fully understood Christian Love if he said such things about other Humans. How do you feel like following a church wich is based on his Reforming? I have mixed feelings about this:
I get that almost every person back than shared such beliefs and Those were just widespread opinions. Luther may had very true theological views but ...
...does this justify such cruel texts?
[I'd be glad to hear your opinions on this.
Pls correct me if I got anything wrong/missed out sth]
