1 | Can Christian's support Caesar's wars? | 2 Cor 10:3 | bstudent | 118473 | ||
Matthew 21:23-24: “Now after he (one of Jesus disciples) went into the temple (Bible Forum website), the chief priests and the older men of the people (you and other “orthodox Christians”) came up to him while he was teaching and said: “By what authority do you do (write) these things? And who gave you this authority?” In reply Jesus (the disciple) said to them: “I, also, will ask YOU one thing. If YOU tell it to me, I also will tell YOU by what authority I do (write) these things.” My question to you is: “How did it occur that the majority of Christian men in Germany during WWII took up arms with or morally supported Hitler and his Nazi regime?” (Implication – How can you be certain that you wouldn’t have done likewise?) I'll try to ignore any possible 'rudeness' (bigotry) implied by your question, and will answer it after you have answered the above. |

bstudent: Let me say this: Your deliberate side-stepping of a direct question is nothing more than game-playing. I don't see the point, quite frankly. Your appeal to Matthew 21 does not put you in league with our Lord. If you indeed have some agenda (which it appears you do), then why don't you just come out in the open and state it? The question asked is a fair one. BradK |

If you don't agree that a discussion of the Bible's counsel as it relates to a Christian's view of politics and nationalism is important, you are not obligated to participate. But, please refrain from prejudicing or intimidating other sincere persons from contributing. | ||||||
