In "Von den Juden und ihren Lügen " Dr. Luther in his righteous anger lost it and went overboard and said some sinful things. One of them was a contradiction of what Jesus taught when asked, "Who is my neighbor?"
WHAT LUTHER GOT RIGHT, AND WHAT HE GOT WRONG
Essential parts of the Scriptures were expounded correctly, by
Luther, in the "Book of Concord," and it is in this exposition of God's Word that Luther is not self-willed. "Essential" means Biblical salvation, won for all humans, by Christ's merits alone, Biblical Christian worship practice, and Christian fellowship.
Though Luther is God-willed in the Book of Concord, he wrote
separate opinionative works that were self-willed (Titus 1: 7). One written work, by Luther, was the book entitled, "On The Jews And Their Lies (1543)." In this book, Luther expounds his own sinful ideologies about earthly punishment for the Jews. The inspiration, for Luther's book, is believed to have been inspired by his earlier reading of Anton Margaritha's book, "The Whole Jewish Belief(1530)." We know that Luther became angry with the Jews for their disbelief in Christ, but the Bible says to Luther and us Be angry; sin not (Ephesians 4: 26). In Luther's anger, he sinned like all humans sin, after what we "will" to do, proves to be sinful and outside God's will.
The term "Anti-semitic" was first used in 1860, by an Austrian Jewish Scholar - Moritz Steinschneider, so the term did not exist in Luther's time. Today, the punishments that Luther sinfully documented from his own will, in regards to how the Jews should be punished by Christians here on earth, serves as a support for the false doctrine and practice of what is now called anti-semitic. Though Luther's position stemmed from the Jewish rejection of Christ, the earthly punishments, that Luther said Christians should impose on Jews, were before and after carried out by world leaders, for any reason, and culminating further into today's state illegal sporadic human acts of self-willed prejudices supported not by God's word (Romans 12: 19) which says vengeance belongs to the Lord, but by those who support un-Godly hate doctrines.
Separate opinionative works by Luther, which reveal how Luther sinned against God's word, like the one described above, remain rejected from a verbal standpoint by all Lutheran Synods. Luther's writing "On The Jews And Their Lies" is considered, by Lutherans,
to be one of four errors, where Luther got it wrong.
WHAT LUTHER GOT WRONG
Martin Luther mis-interpreted Daniel 8: 25 to mean that he (Luther) would be the one to break the anti-Christ's power without hand.
The tidings from the East (Daniel 11: 44) and from the North will annoy him (Anti-Christ). Tidings means the sincere testimony of the Gospel. Those tidings (2 Thessalonians/Revelation 14: 6) make
Christ the dayspring from on high to shine forth. This will greatly upset the anti-Christ through the saints. The destroyers of Babylon shall come from the North says the Lord
(Jeremiah 51: 48). According to Luther, this was fulfilled when the spiritual tyranny of Babylon, as the kingdom of the anti-Christ is called in Revelation, was attacked from the North through Luther (Jeremiah 51: 27 and 33) by the hammer of God's word. Luther mentioned Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz, and he placed the Ashkenaz as Germans. Ararat is where the ark of Noah landed, which signifies that after the spiritual flood, the Lord's ark is going to have a place there. The Gospel will be spread throughout the world from Ararat. The Askenaz were considered a minority. All of this is rightfully refuted as a mistake of Luther. See John Gerhard's "Theological," and Melanchthon's Speech Of The Life and Death Of Luther.
Another wrong, attributed to Luther, is the title page of Luther's German translation of the Bible. Twenty-three books in the New Testament are numbered, but Hebrews, James, Jude, and Revelation
are listed separately and un-numbered, below the numbered books.
Firstly, Luther takes Hebrews out of the Canon of Scripture. Luther does this because Hebrews has no written in author, though many scholars speculate it was Paul. Luther sees that Paul speaks elsewhere in his epistles, of repentance of sin, but Luther mis-interpreted Hebrews to be saying that after baptism, there is no repentance of sin. What Luther mistakes is the meaning of Hebrews 6: 1-6, and 10: 22-26, and 12: 17. The true context of these biblical passages is that if we sin willfully (Without repentance) after we have received the knowledge of the truth, there remains no more sacrifice for sins, because we reject God's Son. In other words, the person who continually rejects God's Son - Jesus, after they have been baptized (Or received the knowledge of God's truth) means that they have rejected Christ - the only sacrifice for their sins. As a result of Luther's mis-interpretation, he uses
"Higher criticism" and he says that he knows it's not the Bible, and his opinion was that Hebrews is an epistle of many pieces put together, and it doesn't deal with any one subject in an orderly way. Actually, Hebrews refutes Luther's opinion with 5 minutiae orderly chapters covering the Levitical Priesthood. Luther also mistakenly writes that the epistle of James is not the work of any apostle.
John Gerhard refuted Luther by saying, firstly, to Luther that the four books are Scripture Canon, because in the primitive Church, there was doubt not so much about their Canonical authority
(Holy Spirit), as there was doubt about the secondary author. Secondly, the author of those books were doubtful, not to all the churches and teachers, but only to some. Thirdly, the fathers, who acknowledge the apocryphal books of the Old Testsment, exclude no New Testament books from the Canon. By the time of
Martin Chemnitz, Hebrews, James, Jude, and Revelation were Canonical. Still, although the Westminster, Belgic, and Trent Catechisms all have a list of the Canonical books, the Lutheran confessions have no list of the Canonical books, which all goes back to Luther's Bible. Lutherans do list the creeds.
Luther once usurped the Biblical meaning of marraige, as between one man and one woman, while giving advice to Philip of Hesse.
Philip of Hesse was unhappy with his first wife, and he wanted to marry another. Luther advised that if Philip could not live in continuance, it would be better to imitate the prophets of the Old Testament and take a second wife, than to leave his first wife.
