[TruthTalk] Christians and violence

[Judy Taylor]

Lance from what I've read the professing Church in the Germany by the 1930's was a caricature and this includes Bonhoeffer along with the unbelieving theologians and theologies that came from this country.  The Pope and German arm of the RCC (who have always been notoriously anti-semitic) had made a concordat with Hitler and the protestants were just as bad at least so far as the Jews were concerned because they were mostly Lutheran and the Lutherans followed Martin's example.  Bonhoeffer was part of a group called the "Confessing Church" which had to do with protecting the rights of pastors.  I don't judge him as a person, neither would I want to follow his example.    My example is the Christ of the Bible and the hope of my soul is His promise.  Judyt   From: Terry Clifton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I guess we will never be in agreement on most anything Lance.  Too many people are already deciding for themselves what is or is not the right thing to do.. The Bible is not only chock full of promises, but has most of the answers I need to guide me.  I strongly suspect it has all the answers, if I could just see them as they are.  Terry Lance Muir wrote: Terry: My 'Bonhoeffer' point was, that each much decide for himself. Much like the theologies expressed on TT. There is no one (1) right answer to which all must subscribe. The Bible cannot and must not be USED as either an ANSWER BOOK  or a PROMISE BOOK.
