@Knittinggrace interesting thought, but since this a subject that I really enjoy, there are a couple of things to note here. 1. Martin Luther lived more than 300 years before the invention of Communism. 2. Luther endured violence without EVER being violent. Communism has always perpetuated violence. 3. Communism believes in Evolution and no God. Luther - agree with him or not - definitely believed in God. 4. That book cover would have never been used during the days of Luther.
@sinbach @Knittinggrace The only thing on that list that Martin Luther did not have that would match communism would be that he believed in God. Did you know that Karl Marx really liked Martin Luther? Also, Communism has been around since the tower of Babel (The book of Enoch and the Book Of Jasher state that Nimrod wanted all money to go to him then he would distribute it to whoever he thought needed it. He also encouraged violence and killed believers.
@sinbach You are right on this. And as you said @Knittinggrace we should take a lesson from this.
Just as a note, I was not advocating that Martin Luther was a communist, he still had many things that did not match the communistic ideals.
