Thank you for this post...(Comment by Elly McCall) <br /><br />Thank you for this post, Pastor Mbewe. My parents were missionaries when I was growing up, and the two countries that we lived in (outside of the United States) were Germany and Israel. The Holocaust was not spoken of in Germany, seemingly out of shame (though I was quite young so I'm not sure), but in Israel there is a Holocaust Remembrance Day every year, so that they will never forget what happened in Europe. <br /><br />I would love to say that people today would not allow this to happen here in the United States, but I would be lying. Since 1973 there has been a holocaust against babies resulting in over 53 million slaughtered babies (about 4,000 per day), all in the name of "choice", and sanctioned - even paid for - by the government. We dare not say that we would have spoken up in Nazi Germany to defend the Jews if we do not speak up in our own countries to defend the helpless babies being slaughtered daily :o( And honestly, I do not believe that simply casting a vote against abortion is sufficient effort on our behalf for the sake of these poor little babies.<br /><br />But...God is rich in mercy, and will even forgive Nazis, abortionists, liars, lusters, coveters, thieves, murderers, etc. All who repent (apologize AND turn from their sins) and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ alone for their salvation (as the Only sufficient payment for their sins to a holy and just God), He will grant everlasting life to - He is THAT kind! <br /><br />While I am terrified at the wickedness of the Nazi holocaust and the current holocaust against babies, I know that my own sins against God are eternally wicked and condemn me to eternal punishment. But in His mercy, He has granted me repentance and trust in Christ alone, so that for all eternity people will point to me and every other redeemed Christian and say "What a very kind God! He even saved her/him!" :o)<br /><br />To those of us Christians who have not spoken up about the current holocaust against babies, or any other atrocities that call out for justice, we would do well to read 1 John 1:9. <br /><br />Thank you so much for presenting this truth, Pastor Mbewe, and may God be pleased to use it to bring glory unto Himself.Tim McCallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11458445066197703901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301621142882601935.post-57275989834610313892011-07-02T21:00:48.411+02:002011-07-02T21:00:48.411+02:00Firstly I would like to thank you for presenting t...Firstly I would like to thank you for presenting the truth without distortion .Just the way you came across it.<br />It is sad that many people died and much more concern should be asked about what was the state of their souls at the point of their death <br />Usually the problem in this world is that myriads live as if they do not have souls. A guy like Hitler lived as if souls were of no value and as if one day he would not stand before God to give an account.<br />It is important that we recognise that everybody has got a soul and that the value of the soul we cannot put a price to .We should not also forget that we too will one day will die and will account for what we did with our souls. . (Hebrews 9:27). 27 Just as people are destined to die once, and after that to face judgment, <br />The earth with all its works will be destroyed but the soul of the poorest man will not die.<br />I must issue two cautions to the atheistsisters being:<br />a/ As long as we are not Christians our souls are lost<br />That is why the world is in the state that it is in. Leave man to his own self and he is destined for destruction of his own soul. It is like a vehicle travelling without brakes....or a ship or aeroplane without instruments. <br /><br />born in sin and children of wrath and we have no natural desire to care for our souls.Weak corrupt inclined to sin .We call good evil and evil good.We have no eyes to see the pit.We cannot change our own hearts…<br /><br />b/I am pointing him/her and their members to Jesus in answer to his question about who is a true Christian.A true Christian is one whose soul is saved after they act as follows:<br />(Romans 10:9-10)9 If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.<br />It will not be about how we have lived here on earth but whether we know Jesus that will save our souls.<br />They must take my caution seriously because.They may have all the riches in the world.Or they may think that they are in control of their lives .However in itself if they are loosing their souls they are a poor! And If they do not do anything they will find themselves as paupers for all eternity.<br />(Mark 8:36)36 What good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul?Musahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01833375056015896207noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301621142882601935.post-70268117548068493312011-06-29T09:34:53.801+02:002011-06-29T09:34:53.801+02:00What a story!

Its really amazing that such wicked acts existed (and in fact still exist today) - I agree never again!

As an American, I'm accustomed to hearing the impressions of Americans who visit Dachau and I've visited the Holocaust museum in Washington, D.C., which probably gives an American version of the story but I've never heard the the perspective of someone from Africa.<br /><br />I was reading tonight about the Ku Klux Klan in the U.S. in the 1930's and 40's. At the same time Hitler was running Dachau, it is estimated that 15% of Americans belonged to the KKK. They held huge rallies and preached against Catholics, Jews, immigrants and Communists. Discrimination was common and violence was not uncommon. At the same time Americans were liberating Dachau and Europe, Americans in the U.S. were committing evils against their own countrymen. <br /><br />You are so right about men swapping God's agenda for their own!Paula Bolyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05567777774272590296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2301621142882601935.post-23645263832387225042011-06-28T18:30:49.808+02:002011-06-28T18:30:49.808+02:00I'd be interested to hear your definition of &...I'd be interested to hear your definition of "true Christianity." Too often I hear it used in the form of the No True Scotsman excuse... Sadly, the Catholic Church as a whole (despite many individual brave and good priests) was wholeheartedly on Hitler's side throughout the war. The connection is well documented and disgusting. Rwanda was one of the most religious countries in Africa. Martin Luther and Calvin had some major issues with hatred of minorities and controlling people, along with violence toward those who disagreed. Luther especially hated the Jews and was a huge influence on Hitler.<br /><br />I am an atheist and frequently hear accusations that atheism has no way to account for morals/say that something is absolutely good or bad (not true) and that it will inevitably lead to things like Nazism and other despotic rulers killing millions. Whether or not evil people say they are religious or not, they are responsible for their evil - and the way to help avoid future disasters IMO is through humanism - teaching people to question, to ask why, to believe they have a right to ask why, not to go along with authority with their minds turned off, whether that authority is the government or God. If God is real He can take questions - if not, you're better off knowing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
