Well?
The Jewish community cares NOTHING about the Gentiles. Millions of us could be slaughtered without one offer of help from them. This was according to two rabbis that I knew growing up. I also had a Jewish science teacher in junior high who stated quite clearly in a class of 85 kids that the Gentile was nothing more than refuse to be destroyed in any way possible. Now I have a Jewish bil who went to being a non-practicing New because of the hatred protected towards the Gentile population when he was growing up.Here is a tacit admission that the Jews in Luther's day were profiting from the mistreatment and exploitation of their neighbors. But, misapplying Christ's instructions regarding personal and private offenses, and ignoring the biblical exortations to seek justice, judgement, and equity for the public, you say the response to that should be submission.
I think I said it right in #34.
This would be more evident to folks like @biscuit1953 if we were under the same feudal forms of government and systems of justice as those in medieval Europe. We live under a form of government where the practical working out of rabbinical doctrines are prevented by things like bankruptcy laws and laws against predatory lending practices, and where there is no social hierarchy or lordship.The Jewish community cares NOTHING about the Gentiles.

Still no answer?Well?
Martin LutherEkklesian - “the blind Jews are truly stupid fools…”
Martin LutherEkklesian - Did I not tell you earlier that a Jew is such a noble, precious jewel that God and all the angels dance when he farts?
The Jews teach that Jesus is a sorcerer, and his mother a whore. Further, they claim she was menstruating when she conceived Christ by whoredom with a blacksmith, which, according to their superstitions, results in mental deficiency and demon possession.Martin LutherEkklesian - Alas, it cannot be anything but the terrible wrath of God which permits anyone to sink into such abysmal, devilish, hellish, insane baseness, envy, and arrogance. If I were to avenge myself on the devil himself I should be unable to wish him such evil and misfortune as God’s wrath inflicts on the Jews, compelling them to lie and to blaspheme so monstrously, in violation of their own conscience. Anyway, they have their reward for constantly giving God the lie.
First of all, 'do not resist the one who is evil' is not an instruction to magistrates in their administration of justice. Evil doers must be punished. Luther is not advising the private Christian in this essay, and mentions that Christians are forbidden to take revenge or respond in kind. It's writen to the rulers in a Germany newly freed from the Papacy, when asked for his advice on a practical solution to the constant troublemaking of the Jews. And considering their form of government, it's very practical and humane advice.esus: Mat 5:39 But I say to you, Do not resist the one who is evil. But if anyone slaps you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also.
Matt 5:40 And if anyone would sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well.
Matt 5:41 And if anyone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles.
Matt 5:42 Give to the one who begs from you, and do not refuse the one who would borrow from you.
Matt 5:46 For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have? Do not even the tax collectors do the same?
Matt 5:47 And if you greet only your brothers, what more are you doing than others? Do not even the Gentiles do the same?
Martin LutherEkklesian - No, one should toss out these lazy rogues by the seat of their pants. For, as we have heard, God’s anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them! What shall we Christians do with this rejected and condemned people, the Jews? First to set fire to their synagogues or schools and to bury and cover with dirt whatever will not burn, so that no man will ever again see a stone or cinder of them. This is to be done in honor of our Lord and of Christendom, so that God might see that we are Christians. I advise that safe-conduct on the highways be abolished completely for the Jews. For they have no business in the countryside, since they are not lords, officials, tradesmen, or the like. Let they stay at home. I recommend putting a flail, an ax, a hoe, a spade, a distaff, or a spindle into the hands of young, strong Jews and Jewesses and letting them earn their bread in the sweat of their brow … But if we are afraid that they might harm us or our wives, children, servants, cattle, etc., ... then let us emulate the common sense of other nations such as France, Spain, Bohemia, etc., ... then eject them forever from the country …"
