ROOT CAUSES FOR THE JEWISH HOLOCAUST

Satanic Hatred...  
1. Because God chose the Jewish people to be His witness to the world.
     “Ye are my witnesses, saith the LORD, and my servant whom I have chosen...” (Isaiah 10:43)

2. Because through the Jewish people God gave the world the Bible.
     “....unto them were committed the oracles of God” (Romans 3:2)

3. Because through the Jewish people God gave the world the Savior and Messiah - Jesus.
     “For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah...”(Hebrews 7:14)


Sinful Nature of Humanity
The Bible says, “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it ?” (Jeremiah 17:9 )


Steady build up of Anti-Semitism throughout history
     “And Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, There is a certain people scattered abroad and dispersed among the people in all the provinces of thy kingdom; and their laws are diverse from all people; neither keep they the king's laws: therefore it is not for the king's profit to suffer them. If it please the king, let it be written that they may be destroyed” (Esther 3:8,9).

                                                                    BASIC CORE OF NAZISM

     Hitler dictated his core political and racist ideology in a book titled "Mein Kampf," which means, "My Struggle." The Bible challenges each point.

1. Social Darwinism (Evolution)
But the Bible says...
     “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female

       created he them” (Genesis 1:27)

2. Racial Purity
But the Bible says...
     “And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath

       determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;” (Acts 17:26)
 
3. German Extreme Nationalism
But the Bible says...
     “Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people” (Proverbs 14:34)

4. Neo-Romanticism (Fantasy is Reality)
But the Bible says...
     “Beware lest any man spoil you through philosophy and vain deceit, after the tradition of men,

       after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ” (Colossians 2:8)

5. Neo-Paganism
But the Bible says...
     “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own

       inheritance” (Psalm 33:12)


                                                       God’s Eternal Promise to Israel
     “For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed” (Malachi 3:6)
 

​                                                    A POPULAR MISCONCEPTION
                           
        “Hitler and the Nazis were Christians following the Bible to justify the Holocaust.”

RESPONSE: In 2006, a rare copy of a Nazi bible was discovered. In 1939 Adolf Hitler created the "Institute for the research and removal of the Jewish influence on German church life.’ The major task was the removal of all references to Jews and to turn Jesus into an Aryan. The Nazi bible stated, “The Evangelical Jesus can only become the savior of our German people, because it does not incarnate the ideas of Judaism, but fights against them mercilessly.”

     Biblical truths like compassion, love, mercy and human kindness were considered laughable. For such ideas were outdated for the Germanic supermen ruling lesser races.

     The Ten Commandments were replaced with Nazi views, examples, “Honor your Fuehrer and master!” “Keep the blood pure and your honor holy!” “Maintain and multiply the heritage of your forefathers.”

     The Nazified Bible was printed by the thousands and was required reading in every home throughout the Third Reich. Also, hymnals were ‘Aryanised.’ www.religionnewsblog.com/15548
