This was an excellent post. I think you...Hi Viola,<br /><br />This was an excellent post. I think you hit on several really important points.<br /><br />Here is one: " And this is the point, when a leader uses Christianity to his advantage, the Church should both tremble and pray for discernment. " This is in fact the essence of taking the name of the Lord God in vain. It is a violation of one of the 10 Commandments. <br /><br />In reference to Hitler, he probably thought Jesus was a loser and a sucker. He liked the hero Jesus, but not the Prince of Peace Jesus. Not the suffering servant Jesus. Not the Jesus who said that if you wanted to be the greatest of all you had to become the servant of all. Hitler was a lot of things, but he was never "the servant" of anybody.<br /><br />We are living in historic times and I really wonder how it is all going to play out. <br /><br />Jodie Gallo<br />Los Angeles, CAJodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09979084678805244443noreply@blogger.com
