They [rulers] must act like a good physician who, when gangrene has set in proceeds without mercy to cut, saw, and burn flesh, veins, bone, and marrow. Such a procedure must also be followed in this instance. Burn down their synagogues, forbid all that I enumerated earlier, force them to work, and deal harshly with them, as Moses did... If this does not help we must drive them out like mad dogs.
Martin LutherIf I had to baptise a Jew, I would take him to the bridge of the Elbe, hang a stone around his neck and push him over with the words 'I baptise thee in the name of Abraham'.
Martin LutherWhoever sees Christ as a mirror of the Father's heart, actually walks through the world with new eyes.
Martin LutherWhen our Lord and Master Jesus Christ said, 'Repent,' he willed the entire life of believers to be one of repentance.
Martin LutherIf God is to create or to preserve a creature, God must be present and must make and preserve God's creation both in its innermost and outermost aspects.
Martin Luther
