Subject: Can Christian's support Caesar's wars? |
Bible Note: 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. |
