Shalom, If you didn't post the bit on Jesus being an IRA member I deeply regret any association I may have made between you and the original post, which is now lost to me. Yes I am given to missunderstanding....though regretfully I can not admit that I do this only as a means of avoiding facing issues.
Shalom, We can not blame one man for the deaths of 50 million people. ( Lets group em all together just for fun). The fact is that the organized churches and governments of europe conspiried with the SS to get rid of the jews, bad christians, and the genetically abhorant. The german SS were generally from good christian homes that felt free enterprise was a wonderful thing. They look so much like us that it sends chills down my spine....And old Adi was just the culmination of long period of repression and murder, justified by the need to unite the nation state, to have an identitiy...to be true Frenchmen, or Italians, or Germans....Hey look at the Swiss....You remember Mary Poppins running accross the border into that fine country....That smiled as it stuffed its pockets with blood money.....Or our own president who had no liking for the 'jewish situation'
Guilty....Guilty.....Guilty....We are guilty of the crimes. Most of Us by blood and heritage...but guilty all the same.....What is this? Only Good Christians don't sin? Like it or not most reading this thread are christians. Christians by birth and heritage....we may not profess as you do Shalom, but Christians all the same...And there are those among us, past and present who at not very nice, vilans who will convince us that its ok to slaughter some poor group of 'degenerates'....
I have walked the cemetaries of the Pacific and I have seen the endless grave stones of 18 year old boys who died before they even knew what they were fighting for. I am humbled by their sacrafice. But what is any different between some poor kid from Texas and one from Pommerainia? One was a US Marine and the other an SS trooper. Neither understood really. One WAS right and the other was wrong. They both died. One tried to kill japs and the other may have killed jews. God save us all, for we are all responsible for this mess. And by standing by and watching...we are doomed.....You too....each and every one of us....
Thats What I think Jesus was saying. Salvation is an Action not a belief. There is no sea of forgetfullness, there is no salvation, there is only the responsibility to live the commitmant. There is no sweetness in our christian god. He is of the old testiment and he says get off your ass and DO something. The only way out of Hell is into the heart of the beast. And we are the beast.
If this is the case we are all doomed. But we are Human. And that means we are doomed....so what is new?
I'm glad I can not offend you.
