Is that part really necessary in the introduction. I get that he was antisemitic but it's in turn saying that his teachings led to the Nazis. Much of it could be deleted because it also creates anti Protestant rhetoric FootballRules73 (talk) 02:31, 13 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
Claiming that 'the mans's legacy' is that of Nazism is so patently absurd as to be borderline idiocy. There are hundreds of years between them, including the Weimar Republic (transferred now to America after WWII) and the Bolshevik revolution (transferred now to Europe in modified form and also Palestine as everyone can see), both basically largely Jewish and both the main (if not only) reasons for national socialism's existence. There is only one cause of "AnTiSeMiTiSm" consistently across thousands of years visible to anyone who takes the time to look. This is the problem with these gatekeeping and censored platforms, they are myopic and maintain the ignorance of the context of history. Chiromancer (talk) 08:02, 23 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
There is only one cause of "AnTiSeMiTiSm" consistently across thousands of years visible to anyone who takes the time to look. Why the weird capitalization? Presenting an example of "borderline idiocy", perhaps? --jpgordon𝄢𝄆𝄐𝄇14:56, 23 December 2025 (UTC)Reply
Of course you would refuse to actually refute any of what he said. Congratulations on wasting over 20 years of your life contributing to the most intricate psy-op in modern history. ~2026-34258-54 (talk) 19:02, 10 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

The Martin Luther biography has a section on Luther's alleged antisemitism and alleged influence on the Nazis. While the section acknowledges that there are different opinions on the topic, the omission of the history of Lutheran anti-Nazism (Bonhoeffer, Barth, Confessing Church etc), which produced one of the most famous holocaust martyrs, makes the article section still look biased. It would take only one sentence to mention that Bonhoeffer, Barth and others were Lutherans. Thanks. ~2026-24046-13 (talk) 13:16, 19 April 2026 (UTC)Reply

For Since the 1980s, Lutheran denominations have repudiated Martin Luther's statements against the Jews, calling them 'sins',[278][279] and have rejected the use of them to incite hatred against Lutherans.[citation needed][280][281]
The first statement in that sentence is properly cited, but the second one (that Lutheran denominations 'rejected the use of them to incite hatred against Lutherans') points to a statement by the Missouri Synod, which says basically the same thing. However, that seems to be limited to just the LCMS; the ELCA's statement (https://resources.elca.org/wp-content/uploads/Declaration_Of_The_ELCA_To_The_Jewish_Community.pdf) doesn't mention anything about use to incite hatred against Lutherans, and it should probably be clarified that refers to just the LCMS. thunkii (talk) 20:49, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
