“You put Jews in ovens because you are a Christian?”
No, and I never said that.
Look, I know what the Nazis were, and so do you.
But they sure cloaked themselves in the banner of Christiandom. Hitler used his Roman Catholic upbringing to his advantage when he could.
Martin Luther WROTE the seven-step plan for the Final Solution.
And the Nazis waived and printed copies of Luther’s anti-semitic tracks as part-and-parcel of their agenda.
And rank-and-file Nazis sure were Christians.
Now, I know what the Nazis did was un-Christian.
Yes, they literally took Christ’s name in vain when doing evil things in Christ’s name.
But, as Christians, we have to own up to what was done (wrongfully) in the name of our Savior, Jesus Christ, by these evil men.
And with that understanding, we can understand why Jewish people -— logically -— mistrust us.
Yes, they literally took Christs name in vain when doing evil things in Christs name.
Christians don’t believe in group guilt and group innocence. That is tribalism and it is results in an endless cycle of exploitation, violence and hate which ruled the world when Jesus came. Jesus introduced a new concept - individual repentence for one’s sins and forgivness through his sacrifice. Do you forgive the occultist Nazis for murdering the Jews?
