In Robert Michael's view, Luther's words "We are at fault in not slaying them" amounted to a sanction for murder
What a laughable comment. In Robert Michael's view? In every sane literate person's view. GMS. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.17.68 (talk) 15:30, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

the beginning of the article says "despite the fact that Luther did not advocate the murdering of Jews", however, later in the article, it goes on to say "In Robert Michael's view, Luther's words 'We are at fault in not slaying them' amounted to a sanction for murder. 'God's anger with them is so intense,' Luther concluded, 'that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!'." is this not advocating for murder in at least some sense? in any case, the addition of "did not *directly* advocate the murdering of Jews" would clear this up.

Not done for now: please establish a consensus for this alteration before using the {{Edit semi-protected}} template. This doesn't feel like the type of non-controversial change that should be made via an edit request without discussion first. PianoDan (talk) 18:19, 14 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
AGREE — Luther's words unambiguously advocated murdering Jews.
Luther unambiguously advocating the killing of Jews. This is not a matter of dispute within scholarship, and Luther's very works that are sourced within this article confirm this.
This article demonstrates with sources already that Lutheran unambiguously advocating the killing of Jews. This is not a matter of dispute within scholarship, and Luther's very works that are sourced within this article confirm this. Ysys9 (talk) 11:54, 10 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is an unambiguous call for murdering Jews. It is tendentious nonsense - or illiteracy - to say otherwise. The beginning of the article is utter nonsense in disputing this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.151.17.68 (talk) 15:32, 19 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Not super relevant, but, on the 4th paragraph of the 'Education' section is the following ending to the first sentence:
"(...)but none about loving God, which to Luther believed was more important."
It should be either "which to Luther was" or "which Luther believed was", or some better option. Hope you see my point and if there's time check the rest of the article for similar problems. Thank you in advance. 2001:1388:13A7:3987:6CB0:5B94:781B:F5D3 (talk) 20:31, 28 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Under section "Diet of Worms (1521)" appears the text "On 18 April 1521, Luther appeared as ordered before the Diet of Worms." The date should be changed to 17 April 1521, as noted in the linked Wikipedia page for the Diet of Worms and in the following article in the World History Encyclopedia: https://www.worldhistory.org/article/1900/luthers-speech-at-the-diet-of-worms/ (the link should also be added as a reference for that line).
