One of the leading Christian Zionists and his sheeple belief so: [video=youtube;2Ec-kZGKnQ8]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ec-kZGKnQ8[/video]
It's not the preacher that's crazy, it's the audience with the herd mentality. They listen with rapt attention, bible in hand. They get carried away into imagined rapture and salvation but they go home unfulfilled and depressed. Serves them right for not deciding what to do with own lives. They listen to him and they allow him to "come into their lives" (a cliche) and into their pockets..
Anti semitism began in the middle ages.It was considered evil and uncouth in those days for "Christians" to be money changers,because of that event in the temple with Jesus in the new testament.But the medieval powers did not mind if the Jews did it for them. Because of this the Jewish diaspora in the medieval countries became rich over time.This caused jealousy and resentment. Hitler used this anti semitism to lay blame and laid the woes of the Versailles treaty,runaway inflation,the loss of the "great war" etc. at their door.In reality Hitler wanted to eliminate the Jewish free press in Germany that openly critisized the National Socialists. Hitler was in reality a fanatical politician that would stop at nothing to seize power....he wasn't sent by God.
If you really believe in omnipotent God which has created everything and knows everything then you must accept he has also sent Hitler like everyone else.
He is stupid... Because jews were the early christianity which jesus was basically a jew but the jews changed later on.. But that scripture had nothing to do with hitler he is just trying alter the meanings of things like many people do. And this pastor really isn't helping people like christians by saying god was killing people. If god wanted to do something to jews for their so Called "Evilness" or whatever he would have did it at the gates of heaven by sending them to hell
We've all been sent G .Hitler wasn't a programmed robot,like the rest of us God gave him free will.I believe God doesn't know how we will act,if he did then what is the point? So Hitler was not "sent" to kill or do away with the Jews.
If he had a free will then God could not know the outcome which is against the definition of God which is omnipotent and knows everything.
Sweet lord Jesus,now you want to get into semantics.Well not me,I've got a client coming in and have work to do.....later.
So what you are trying to say is that that Ronald Reagan, George W. Bush, Geert Wilders, Salman Rushdie and Aynn Rand were were sent by god? I think you are going to have as hard of a time selling that, as you are selling Hitler, Osama, or Obama on that front.
This Pastor is probably a millionaire. The scariest thing is that he's not a "nobody", he's a well known Christian Pastor, has many followers, and he's actively involved in politics.
If you believe in God then you have to believe that all of them acted according to God´s will. On the other note, I can agree that George Bush, Hitler and Osama bin laden were all made by the same God.
I don´t believe in omnipotent God but who knows may be there is dark force in universe that creates the sick people like Hitler and Bush.
Maybe you could start your own religion! Take everyone who doesn't share your political views, lump them in with mass murderers throughout history, and claim they all "share" an ideology, driven by some deity or "dark force". Aww, crap. Too late. Liberalism already exists, and last time I checked, you are already a practicing member. I hear people naturally quit that religion when they stop taking drugs and get a job. There is hope for you.
I'd suggest Hitler acted upon the thoughts of many who were on that track at the time. I believe when you think 'Jews needs to be wiped out' you put the thought into a thought pool where it remains bouncing from person to person until it is either canceled or acted upon. We leave too many thoughts open for others to take. Sometimes others are in a better position to act upon them. This is shown in many ways, you might think of a great business idea and leave it on the backburner only to discover someone else picks up the thought and runs with it.
I don´t claim to know everything so I always entertain the possibility of anything which can be logic. For example, may be there is an element in DNA of people like Hitler, Bush and other serial killers that removes any hesitation for killing other people.
And these are the people who figuratively and verbally rap me over the head with their bible because I choose not to follow an organized religion and go to church, stating a belief in God and being a good person is not enough, because you have to choose sides and you also have to follow their religious algorithm to get into Heaven. lol
