Luther was Hitler's mentor
In what?
In anti-sementism?
Luther and Hitler were both Catholics having learned from the Catholics; "the Jews killed Christ Jesus".
..and all he did was carry out Luther's directives.
Hitler Learned his "religious stance" from Catholics".
Hitler Learned his "political stance" from: Dietrich Ekhart, one of the founders in 1919, of the: National Socialist German Workers Party, that Hitler Joined, rose in ranks, shortly there started his own Nazi Party.
The odds of Hitler with any Religious order...Lutherans or Catholics...WAS their non-compliance...with subjection and adherence to Hitler's Political Power above Religious beliefs.
It was not only both Luther's and Hitler's anti-sementism...but Hitler's requirement of German citizens to Accept the supremacy of Nazism above all things....or be subject to seizure of their property and killed.
The Reich made an agreement with the Vatican...1933.
The Reich believed they had won Political approval of the Catholic Church regarding the Political power is foremost the Power above all things.
The Catholics believed they had won the compromise to not be persecuted for keeping God above all things, supporting the Reich publically, and otherwise staying out of public concourse between Political and Religous speech.
Why do you think Nazism was so acceptable to German Lutherans?
Same reason as it was for: Catholics, and Jews "converting" to Catholicism..
Fear of Backlash from Political G-men.
( Surely you must know Catholics persecuted, unbelievers and Jews, long before Hitler stepped on scene.
Surely you must know, Any man was on the spot to be subject to the Reich's Persecution, property confiscation, imprisonment, death... for standing Against the "supposed" superiority of the Reich...regardless of their religious affiliation.
Have you read Luther? Have you studied history? People who ignore history are doomed to repeat it.
I study history. And you giving Luther and German Lutherans All the Credit for Hitler's desires...is a bit lop-sided IMO...lacking facts.
Not particularly a big Secret...every religious organization invites people to come hear their
Speech in hopes the listener will Join up with them.
Luther was a Catholic who protested the "selling" of Indulgences by the Catholic Clerics.
So other Catholics and non-Catholics agreed with him??? So what?
Perhaps "Lutherans" agreed with Luther on many points, even being anti-semantic...so What?? Their Choice...point is WHY was Luther anti-Semantic? ... remember he was a Catholic...taught by Catholics. And Luther did not denounce all things he was taught by Catholics...it was the Catholics who denounced Luther.
On the Jews and Their Lies
Enter Hitler.....who did all of the above with Luther's blessing. Yet people are SO deceived that they use Luther to interpret the bible for them.
I can't say what "all" Lutherans Follow or Agree with, or that their source is only Luther, or that he is their interpreter of Scripture.
I am not A "Lutheran"...
I have never heard a person claim to be Lutheran and at the same time claim they have no need of Scriptures...
But I have heard a man claim he is Catholic and has NO Need of Scriptures.
I have no knowledge of Luther doling out Blessings to Hitler.
I believe a combination of eh, Naizsm doesn't sound so bad AND Fear...was the motativing factor for pretty much the bulk of German citizens during Hitler's rise to power....
After all...Hitler was a Christian...right?
Glory to God,
