We are derps to believe “truth’ and don’t research what the messenger says is truth.

Don’t worry, haffast, I won’t make a hero out of this guy. I don’t give two effs about him.

It’s the words that matter. No research required, which is my point.

“Silence in the face of evil is itself evil: God will not hold us guiltless. Not to speak is to speak. Not to act is to act.”

Can you find anything false in that statement?

I can’t.

#TruthIsTruth

p.s. The derps think we are evil. I think they are evil. Only one of us is right.

Bagster, in 2012 I did deep dig on communist influences on the churches in America. Here is just a few sentences from that regarding Bonhoeffer:

Abyssinian Baptist Church - New York

Adam Clayton Powell, Sr. - preached the Gospel of **Social Justice** as pastor of Abyssinian Baptist Church

Bonhoeffer in Harlem - “Deeply interested in **ecumenism**, he was appointed by the World Alliance for Promoting International Friendship through the Churches (a forerunner of the **World Council of Churches**) as one of its three European youth secretaries. “

“Rejecting the objective unalterable moral standards of the Bible, Bonhoeffer proclaimed a situational ethics — that right and wrong are determined solely by the “loving obligations of the moment” “


Bonhoeffer was a professor at UTS and attended Abyssinian Baptist Church in Harlem and taught Sunday school there.

Today he would play for the Ecumenical Social Justice Warriors, Socialist NWO team and be diametrically opposed to you and your interpretation of the very words he penned.

I don’t intend to argue semantics with you on that quote, on the face I agree, I’m trying to point out that you are appropriating the words of an anti-bagster.

It’s your choice. Carry on.

on the face I agree,

On the face is all that I'm talking about.

We can drag this derpy, commie scumbag into the public square and hang him, yet THOSE words ring true.

I’m trying to point out that you are appropriating the words of an anti-bagster.

You have pointed it out very well, goodman, and I agree. The dude sounds like a real POS and enemy of all that is good and true.

MY point is I don't care.

The quote matters, not the man. And the quote is truth.

Martin Luther King said some truths (content of character, etc). Do I agree with everything he did or said? Nope.

Same with Nietsche. And lots of others.

:: Bonhoeffer proclaimed a situational ethics — that right and wrong are determined solely by the “loving obligations of the moment ::

This is why, as a Lutheran (and as Bonheoffer ONCE was), I cringe every time I see: “Stay calm and do the next loving thing.”

Situational ethics is a blight on the Church.
