Would a few examples of Jewish corroborators suffice to condemn the Jewish religion as Nazis and anti-Semitic?
I know nothing of the church you cited - but in the same citation is the statement that other Protestant churches formed in opposition - which proves that siding with the Nazis was NOT a characteristic of Christianity, but rather, a characteristic of some people - which is not surprising. Nazis were, obviously, people.
It is illogical to reach a general conclusion about any group based on common traits observed in a very small sample set - especially if you choose to ignore contrary examples from the larger group.
The members of the church you cited were also German. Should we conclude that one must live in Germany if they are Christian? No less logical than assuming one is a Jew-hater if they are a Christian.
You are being intentionally obtuse.
I love Christians. Wonderful people. Scriptures seem lovely, as now interpreted.
Denying the history of Christian perscuting Jewish people in the name of your Church makes you laughable.
So, if a Pope were involved and leading it, would that be an indictment of the church? Just wondering
Some trivia to rock your world.
Martin Luther, the founder of Protestanism, wrote a lovely screed called “On Jews and their Lies.”
Luther’s work contained a 7 point plan that was the blueprint for the Shoa and the resulting murder of 6 million Jewish people:
Here’s Luther’s steps:
1.for Jewish synagogues and schools to be burned to the ground, and the remnants buried out of sight;
2.for houses owned by Jews to be likewise razed, and the owners made to live in agricultural outbuildings;
3.for their religious writings to be taken away;
4.for rabbis to be forbidden to preach, and to be executed if they do;
5.for safe conduct on the roads to be abolished for Jews;
6.for usury to be prohibited, and for all silver and gold to be removed and “put aside for safekeeping”; and
7.for the Jewish population to be put to work as agricultural slave laborers.

Luther’s tract was so populat among the Nazis, they passed it out during rallies.
