It was a *huge* surprise to me that Luther had such a negative attitude towards Jews! Martin Luther wasn't the first. The Anti Semitism found in the church was started by Constantine around 324 AD and grew from there. This became known as Replacement Theology in which it was taught that the Church replaced the Jews as God's chosen people. There is no such thing in the Bible! In fact the Book of Romans says that the Gospel is for the Jew first, then the Gentile. Hitler made use of Martin Luther's and the Catholic Church's attitude to justify his program. However, Replacement Theology has finally been replaced and few Churches preach such a doctrine. Most preachers today are much more in line with the book of Romans and are placing greater emphasis on embracing the Hebraic roots of the original church. <BR><BR><BR>**************************************<BR> Check out free AOL at http://free.aol.com/thenewaol/index.adp.
