THE CUTTING EDGE

President Obama has boldly reached out to Liberal Protestant pastors, enlisting their pulpit support for his Fascist/Socialist Health Care Plan. We should not be too surprised at this turn of events, because Candidate Obama reached out to the very same Liberal religious groups during his campaign, a move touted at the time as being a counter-push against the support of Conservative Evangelical Christians who had flowed to support the McCain/Palin ticket.

But, the REAL story behind Obama's appeal to his Liberal 'faith-based' friends is that he used Biblical rhetoric to appeal to his audience for their support in his most unchristian health care plan. Let us review this news story now:

NEWS BRIEF: "Obama: 'We are God's Partners in Matters of Life and Death' ", By Kathleen Gilbert, LifeSiteNews.com, August 20, 2009

"WASHINGTON, D.C., August 20, 2009 - A sudden shift towards religiously-charged rhetoric in President Obama's stumping for health care reform continued yesterday in a telephone conference, in which the president said that 'we are God's partners in matters of life and death'."

This is quite a statement, to say that he and his religious buddies are "God's partners" in establishing his health care plan. Did the President check in with God to see if God approved of the health care plan? I doubt it seriously, because this Illuminati plan contains massive funding for abortion upon demand and for the denial of health care to both the elderly and other devalued people. In other words, Obama's health plan would doom the very classes of people which the God of the Bible commands His followers to support and to protect!

Therefore, I seriously doubt that God feels like He is a partner with President Obama! The President is like the Pharisee who prayed to God even though his heart was not right with Him. Listen to what happened to this Pharisaic prayer.

"Two men went up into the temple enclosure to pray, the one a Pharisee and the other a tax collector. The Pharisee took his stand ostentatiously and began to pray ... with himself: " (Luke 18:10; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary)

This Pharisee thought he was praying to God, but that is not how God viewed it. In God's eyes, the Pharisee was only praying to himself! What delusion! Yet, this is exactly what these Liberal pastors, theologians and President are doing as they support murderous abortion and euthanasia in the name of God. They are praying to themselves! They are invoking God's Name in vain.

"Obama told the virtual gathering of Jewish rabbis - as many as 1000, according to the Washington Jewish Week news service - that he was 'going to need your help in accomplishing necessary reform'."

At this point, the President of the United States told a bald-faced lie. He denied that abortion funding was part of his health plan proposal.

Notice how he couched his lie in Biblical terms.

"In a conference call with largely left-leaning faith leaders yesterday, Obama also used religously-charged terms to dismiss the notion that the government would fund abortion through the new legislation. 'These are all fabrications that have been put out there in order to discourage people from meeting what I consider to be a core ethical and moral obligation - and that is that we look out for one another, that I am my brother's keeper and I am my sister's keeper', he said. He also accused opponents of his healthcare plan of spreading 'misinformation' and 'bearing false witness'."

The Biblical terms are:

* "my brother's keeper"

* "bearing false witness"

But, as this next segment demonstrates, the President had just told a huge lie, hoping that no one in his listening audience would notice.

"Pro-life leaders immediately blasted the president for the comment, pointing out that the House version of the bill now explicitly calls for the funding of abortion in the government plan, as well as taxpayer subsidies of plans that cover abortions."

How many Liberal voters did this little confab reach for the President?

"The social justice groups sponsoring the conference claim that 140,000 individuals attended the call. The same groups - PICO National Network, Sojourners, Catholics in Alliance for the Common Good, Faith in Public Life, and Faithful America - are now hosting a '40 Days for Health Reform' campaign to tell lawmakers 'that quality, affordable healthcare is a moral issue for people of faith'."

Obama's plan will turn out to be neither 'quality' nor 'affordable", because his plan is already in effect in countries like Great Britain and Canada, so we can see all the very serious life-threatening problems which these programs deliver.

I also found it very interesting to hear that the White House is planning a 40-day campaign for his Health Reform. This program sounds a lot like Pastor Rick Warren's "40 Days" program which he has utilized on a number of occasions and for a variety of subjects. Warren has been called the "Nation's Pastor" and his Liberalism seems in line with Obama's, so he probably suggested to the President to use the 40-day format.

Hitler's Use of Religious Terms To Gain His Objectives

When I heard President Obama using Biblical speech to justify his unholy objective, I immediately thought of Adolf Hitler. Do you know that this Nazi dictator constantly invoked religious language and a testimony to being Born Again to disarm his religious opponents and even gain their support? Did you know that Hitler claimed Jesus as his Lord and Savior, and claimed that his genocidal policies were compatible with Christianity?

Let us review some history -- facts which you have undoubtedly never learned in school.

Adolf Hitler claimed he was Christian! Evangelical Christian leaders supported Hitler greatly; even Baptists were split over whether Hitler was truly Born Again. Listen to Adolf's testimony:

"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior" - Speech, 12 April 1921

Adolf Hitler professed faith in Jesus Christ and claimed to be a Christian! He affirmed the Christian faith, never shut down a Christian church until World War II started, and claimed that his actions during World War II were fully consistent with Biblical teaching and commandment.

Most Christians today will recoil at this suggestion, based upon our post-World War II mindset. We know Hitler's fruits were terribly bad. We know he slaughtered 6 million Jews and 12 million other "devalued" peoples. We know he deliberately launched one of the most bloody, terrible wars mankind has ever faced. We now know he was a Satan worshipper, probably without equal in the modern world. We know he regularly prayed the Spirit of Antichrist into himself during rituals and seances held by The Thule Society, the same Brotherhood of Death Society as Skull & Bones -- in which George Bush is a lifelong Adept. We know Hitler fulfilled the plans of the Illuminati perfectly while in power, and set up the same kind of society that the real Antichrist will eventually set up.

From our perspective of post-World War II, we know that Hitler could never have been a genuine Born Again Christian.

Yet, from 1933-1939, German Christians looked at Adolf Hitler with completely different eyes. He claimed to be Christian. He regularly invoked the name of "God" and "Lord", he regularly called upon "faith in the Almighty", and he regularly stated the importance of the Christian faith as a foundation for the entire nation! Hitler fooled so many sincere German Christians at least up until World War II began in 1939; however, during that terrible and bloody war, he still retained the the support of too many Christians.

A quick quote will serve to place matters in focus before we begin our study. A good German Christian woman of some means wrote a letter to a friend just weeks before Hitler committed suicide in 1945. This lady expressed outrage and emotional distress, for she had finally come to believe the rumors, that the "SS" had been systematically murdering Jews all during the war. This lady said, "This is totally outrageous and must stop. Why, someone should tell Adolf"!

"Someone should tell Adolf"!

HITLER'S CLAIMS TO BE A CHRISTIAN

Hitler Praying

"My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior... I am fighting for the work of the Lord." - Speech, 12 April 1921 ["Adolph Hitler: A perverted Christian?", Terry Mattingly On Religion] Hitler confesses Jesus as "Lord and Savior".

"Hitler is reported to have spoken, glowingly, about raising the 'treasures of the living Christ,' the persecution of the 'true Christians and sanctimonious churches that have placed themselves between God and man and to turn away from the anti-Christian , smug individualism of the past,' and 'to educate the youth in particular in the spirit of those of Christ's words that we must interpret anew: love one another; be considerate of your fellow man; remember that each of you is not alone a creature of God, but that you are all brothers!" [Turner, "In Hitler-- Memoirs of a Confidant", Ch. 23; Emphasis added]

"In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might ..." ["Catholicism & Fascism: A Brief Retrospective", by Robert E. Nordlander, April, 1990]

"Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed his blood upon the Cross." [Ibid.]

"As a Christian ..." [Ibid.; Repeated many times]

"For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people." [Ibid.]

"When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil, if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago ..." [Ibid.]

"The church is certainly necessary for the people. It is a strong and conservative element." ["Memoirs" Albert Speer, p. 95] Later on this same page, Albert Speer noted that Hitler strongly believed that the Christian church was indispensable in political life.

"We don't want to educate anyone in atheism. ["Hitler's Table-Talk", p. 6]

"God is with us" - [Calic, Edouard, Ed., "Secret Conversations With Hitler," The John Day Company, p. 6: NOTE: Hitler repeated this phrase exceedingly often in his speeches, and he always drew applause].

"We do not forget the influence of the churches" [Ibid., p. 79]

"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator" [Hitler, Mein Kampf] Like Presidents Clinton, Bush, and Obama, Hitler invoked the "Almighty" consistently in his speech; also like Bush, Hitler was NOT speaking of the Biblical Almighty, Omnipotent God, Creator of the Universe. Rather, Hitler and Bush both are thinking of the "Almighty Force" -- god of forces [Daniel 11:38]

Hitler Flashes Martin Luther New Testament!

"The established Methodist church paper, the Friedensglocke, vouched for the authenticity of a story about Hitler where he invited a group of deaconesses from the Bethel Institutions into his home at Obersalzberg .. The deaconesses entered the chamber and were astonished to see the pictures of Frederick the Great, Luther, and Bismarck on the wall ... One sister could not refrain from saying: 'Herr Reichkanzler, 'from where do you get the courage to undertake the great changes in the whole Reich?' Thereupon Hitler took out of his pocket the New Testament of Dr. Martin Luther, which one could see had been used very much, and said earnestly: "From God's word." [Helmreich, Ernst Christian, "The German Churches Under Hitler," Wayne State University Press, 1979, p., p. 139]

Hitler obtained this old copy of Martin Luther's New Testament to use for massive spiritual deception. These deaconesses assume Hitler read this well-worn New Testament, as did countless other Christians of that era. But, notice that Hitler does not make that claim; he merely remained silent, knowing the conclusion people will reach.

"Hitler Leaving Church After Service"

"The National Socialist State has not closed a church, nor has it prevented the holding of a religious service, nor has it ever exercised any influence upon the form of a religious service. It has not exercised any pressure upon the doctrine nor on the profession of faith of any of the Confessions. In the National Socialist State anyone is free to seek his blessedness after his own fashion...." [Hitler, a speech in the Reichstag on 30 Jan. 1939; Emphasis added]

Note that Hitler made this boast on January 30, 1939, almost exactly eight months before he launched World War III; using the war as an excuse, Hitler then did raid churches, he did shut them down, and he began to throw ministers and key leaders into a prison, out of which many never returned.

"I am absolutely convinced of the great power and the deep significance of the Christian religion, and consequently will not permit any other founders of religion (Religionsstifter) ... I will protect the rights and freedom of the church and will not permit them to be touched. You need have no apprehensions concerning the freedom of the church. [Hitler, quoted from "The German Churches Under Hitler", p.241]

"Secular schools can never be tolerated because such a school has no religious instruction and a general moral instruction without a religious foundation is built on air; consequently, all character training and religion must be derived from faith. From our point of view as representatives of the state, we need believing people." [Hitler, quoted from The German Churches under Hitler, p.241]

Hitler thus seemed to hold a higher standard for German schools than we do today for American public schools. In the full eight years of his presidency, Bush had not brought about one change in the secular, humanist, increasingly gay, and occult agenda that permeates public school curricula! Germany in Hitler's day was "overwhelmingly Protestant", especially Prussian Protestant. Thus, Hitler realized he had to appear non-threatening to Prussian Protestants.

In fact, Germany was so taken by Prussianism that Hitler adopted the military uniform of a Prussian general! To us, Hitler looks foolish in his Prussian uniform and his little mustache, but he looked very Prussian, very normal, to the Germans of the era.

" 'Except the Lord built the house they labour in vain'.... The truth of that text was proved if one looks at the house of which the foundations were laid in 1918 and which since then has been in building.... The world will not help, the people must help itself. Its own strength is the source of life. That strength the Almighty has given us to use; that in it and through it we may wage the battle of our life.... The others in the past years have not had the blessing of the Almighty-- of Him Who in the last resort, whatever man may do, holds in His hands the final decision. Lord God, let us never hesitate or play the coward, let us never forget the duty which we have taken upon us.... We are all proud that through God's powerful aid we have become once more true Germans." [Adolf Hitler, in a speech in March 1933]

Note Adolf's reference to Psalm 127:1 in this paragraph and his use of phrases that sound wonderfully Biblical: "Almighty";"Him Who is the last resort"; "holds in His hands the final decision";"Lord God"; and "God".

"... the fall of man in paradise has always been followed by his expulsion." [Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)] Hitler sounds like a "preacher boy" here!

"...that is why the prophet seldom has any honor in his own country." [Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf); referring to Jesus' words, John 4:44]

"Parallel to the training of the body a struggle against the poisoning of the soul must begin. Our whole public life today is like a hothouse for sexual ideas and simulations. Just look at the bill of fare served up in our movies, vaudeville and theaters, and you will hardly be able to deny that this is not the right kind of food, particularly for the youth... Theater, art, literature, cinema, press, posters, and window displays must be cleansed of all manifestations of our rotting world and placed in the service of a moral, political, and cultural idea." [Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)]

History records that many Evangelical, and even Baptist, preachers, teachers, and leaders were seduced by Hitler's "morality" in the early days, as we explain more fully below. Today, we know the full truth of Hitler, and are firmly guided by an examination of his terribly evil fruit, but in the early period, from 1921-1939, Hitler seemed to be a breath of fresh air, as he fought against the loose morality exploding across Germany. Many an evangelical and Baptist leader of this era took public note of Hitler's leadership in this area, and based their acceptance of him on this morality alone.

Did Hitler's adherence to a christian-type morality make him a Born Again Christian? Did his repeated use of "God", "Lord", "Almighty", and "Jesus" make him truly and genuinely Born Again? Of course, not, you say, and, you are right!

Evangelical/Baptist Leaders Affirm Hitler's Christianity

"If anyone can lay claim to God's help, then it is Hitler, for without God's benevolent fatherly hand, without his blessing, the nation would not be where it stands today. It is an unbelievable miracle that God has bestowed on our people." [Evangelical Minister Rust, in a speech to a mass meeting of German Christians on June 29, 1933 [Helmreich, Ernst Christian, "The German Churches Under Hitler," Wayne State University Press, 1979, p. 138]

"Other pastors openly welcomed the Nazi's, believing that the reintroduction of government by Christian authorities, affirmed St. Paul that 'the power that be are ordained by God'." (Romans 13:1) ["Christianity in Europe during WWII", by Jim Walker, 1 June, 2000]

In this era, many pastors have been enunciating this Biblical quote in an attempt to justify supporting Bush's Illuminist war against Iraq and now Obama's Health Care Plan -- Perhaps the Scripture we need to focus on is: "We ought to obey God rather than men." [Acts 5:29]

"... a number of U.S. Baptists wrote sympathetically of Hitler's Germany. I came to this conclusion while writing an article on the Baptist World Alliance congress in Berlin in 1934. An immense Nazi flag, hung where the congress met, was a vivid reminder of the bloody purge executed only a few weeks before by anti-Semitic fascists. ["U.S. Baptists said surprisingly nice things about Hitler", Baptist Standard, by Professor Lloyd Allen - Church History at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky -- May 27, 2002]

"John Sampey, president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, cautioned against hasty judgment of a leader (Hitler) who had stopped German women from smoking cigarettes and wearing red lipstick in public. The Watchman-Examiner carried a letter by Boston pastor John Bradbury. Of the congress, he wrote, "It was a great relief to be in a country where salacious sex literature cannot be sold; where putrid motion pictures and gangster films cannot be shown." [Ibid.]

In light of post-World War II revelations about the Satanic monstrosity of Adolf Hitler, one can only sit back in amazement as they contemplate how easily fooled these Baptist leaders and pastors were about Adolf Hitler; they casually excused all of Hitler's early writings, such as Mein Kampf and his fiery anti-Semitic speeches from 1921-1934, in which he boldly stated he was going to "line the Jews up against the wall" for execution! And, why did they so excuse these bold evidences of the true nature of Hitler? Because he did not allow pornographic and gangster films, nor women smoking cigarettes and wearing red lipstick in public?!

I scarcely can belief this easy, shallow justification of Adolf Hitler by trained professional church leaders. What will Jesus say to these churchmen on the Day of Judgment for the believer? I think He will thunderously shout His severe disapproval, because young men influenced by these churchmen espousing their flimsy support of Hitler were encouraged to fight for the monstrous evil government of Nazism. How many of these young, impressionable men actually pulled gas levers in the extermination camps?

Professor Allen lists some other specific reasons these Baptist leaders gave Hitler such a pass on the clear evidences of spiritual disaster:

"This focus on [Hitler's] personal piety resulted partially from a frontier religious ethic. On the American frontier, where Baptist strength arose in the Second Great Awakening, the most crucial ethical decisions were personal--alcoholism, spousal abuse and violence. Few complex social structures existed on the frontier to attract a sustained moral critique. Baptists equated eliminating the sins of the flesh with Christian living."

"Mass evangelism was a second factor in Baptist blindness to the Nazi evil. Some Baptists believed that evangelism and the world order were two circles that never intersected ... "Evangelical Christianity transcends all political and social systems," according to an Alabama Baptist article that appeared that same year. As long as governments, even fascist governments, did not interfere with soul-saving, they could be tolerated." [Ibid.]

What would Jesus say in response to this nonsensical line of argument? "Ye blind guides, filtering out a gnat, and gulping down a camel." Matt 23:24; Parallel Bible, KJV/Amplified Bible Commentary]

Christian leaders today who are applauding President Obama are guilty of the same disastrous thinking: they are "gulping down a camel" even as they are refusing to acknowledge the major disastrous spiritual fruit emanating from the president. History does, indeed, repeat itself when people do not follow the Holy Spirit carefully, the news carefully, and draw the proper conclusions.

But, the news as to why Baptist leaders applauded Hitler gets even more disastrous. Listen to Professor Allen explain in another article, "How Baptists Assessed Hitler", written in September, 1982:

"Surely a leader who does not smoke or drink, who wants women to be modest, and who is against pornography cannot be all bad, or so the reasoning went. As M. E. Aubrey of England observed in the Baptist Times, Hitler had “brought almost a new Puritanism, which makes its appeal to our Baptist friends, and for the sake of which they can overlook much that cuts across their natural desires.” Baptists from the United States ignored the fact that interpreters were barred from even rendering the word “democracy” in Aubrey’s speech. Priority was placed on personal habits, to the detriment of larger, more vital issues." {Ibid.]

Equating Adolf Hitler with the word, "Puritanism" is spiritual blindness of staggering proportion! M.E. Aubrey even admitted there was much about Hitler that was of great concern to Christians, but he smoothed that problem over by stating that Hitler's "new Puritanism" is so strong that Christians can "overlook much" about him that gives them great concern! In other words, Christians who had personally compared Hitler's spiritual fruits against Bible doctrine, and had concluded he was evil, could "overlook" their conclusions because of Hitler's supposed "new Puritanism"! Today, we see exactly this kind of twisted logic at work!

Professor Allen then records for posterity that the numbers of Baptists who felt positive about Hitler was more than a few radical fringe types:

" 'Quite a number of correspondents of our Southern Baptist papers writing about the BWA seemed to have a kindly feeling and a good word for Hitler and his regime', Wrote R. H. Pitt in Religious Herald." [Ibid.]

"Victor I. Masters of the Western Recorder went even further, writing, 'Most of the testimony we have from our brethren who went to the [1934] Baptist World Alliance in Berlin has seemed with great spontaneity and readiness to accept the opinion that all is well in Germany'." [Ibid.]

Did you catch that phrase, uttered even as Hitler was beginning to secretly murder Jews? "all is well in Germany".

Narrowly Focusing On One Single Issue

Professor Allen then drops a bombshell in identifying the major issue blinding Baptists to Hitler: he had them focusing on one major issue. Listen:

"A final reason for Baptist vulnerability to Hitler’s 1934 policies was a single-issue criterion for appraising foreign governments: anti communism. In 1934, if a government was anti-Communist, it deserved recognition and support. Dr. Leek wrote:

'Our observation is, that while Hitlerism is doubtless not the ultimate end, for Germany directly or Europe indirectly, it is for Germany a safe step in the right direction. Nazism has at least been a bar to the universal boast of Bolshevism' [Alabama Baptist XCIX 36 (September 6, 1934)]."

Another Baptist leader, Dr. Daddy, stated: "Hitler was not perfect, but at least he was anti-Communist." [Ibid.]

Therefore, because Hitler strongly opposed Communism, as did international Baptists, it was all right to ignore all the spiritually rotten fruit coming from Hitler and his National Socialist regime! We see this happening today in Ecumenical circles, don't we? Today, Liberal Christianity is allowing itself to be drawn in to the One World Religion of the future False Prophet, through the lie that religions need to focus upon what they can agree, ignoring that about which they do not agree! This is the essence of the Ecumenical Movement today, the ultimate goal of which is to form the religion that will serve the two Beasts of Revelation 13!

Not All The Baptists Were Fooled

"Fortunately, most Baptists in 1934 took a different route, supporting soul liberty, the kinship of all persons and the separation of church and state. Still, all Christians today need to remember which paths in 1934 led some to embarrassing dead ends." [Ibid.; Emphasis added

Thank God "most Baptists in 1934" recognized the true spiritual matters that demanded their attention, and so did not fall into the trap of supporting Adolf Hitler; still, the Baptist leaders who did support Hitler lead many, many Christians astray at a most crucial time in world history. Christians are positionally in the same spot today as in Berlin, 1934. Too many respected Evangelical leaders are urging their people to support President Bush, even though loads of evidence exists that demonstrates his true spiritual nature, and even more evidence that should convince all people that this attack on Iraq is based upon nearly nothing! Why do you think tens of millions of people marched in global Antiwar protests on Saturday, February 15? They had read the news reports warning that our "evidence" against Iraq was tenuous at best, manufactured at worst.

Yet, because Christians are patriotic, because they do not want to believe that our presidency could be seized by Illuminists bent on staging Antichrist, and because they are focused on the narrow specific issue of global terrorism, they are willing to give President Obama their support.

Roman Catholic Support of Hitler

"The Cardinal Faulhaber of Munich who visited Hitler at his mountain retreat in Obersalzburg confessed: 'Without a doubt the chancellor lives in faith in God. He recognizes Christianity as the foundation of Western culture' [Helmreich, p.279]."

"I do not remember even a single occasion when Hitler gave any instructions that ran counter to the true Christian spirit and to humaness. [Wagener, quoted in "Turner, Jr., Henry Ashby, "Hitler-- Memoirs of a Confidant," Yale University Press, 1978, p.147]

"Catholic and Protestant leaders were convinced of Hitler's belief. As an example, the Catholic Cardinal Faulhaber of Munich visited Hitler at his mountain retreat at Obersalzburg in November 1936. Faulhaber observed: 'Without doubt the chancellor lives in faith in God. He recognizes Christianity as the foundation of Western culture.' " [quoted from "The German Churches Under Hitler", p.279]

"Pope Pius XII in 1939 instructed Cardinal Bertram to send a birthday message to Hitler: 'warmest congratulations to the Fuhrer in the name of the bishops and the dioceses in Germany' which was added, 'fervent prayers which the Catholics of Germany are sending to heaven on their altars.' These greetings became a tradition and were sent every April 20th." ["Hitler compared to God/Jesus/Christians", by Jim Walker]

Adolf Hitler was raised Catholic and instructed in a Catholic school run by Jesuits. To his dying day, Hitler considered himself a good Catholic! Listen:

"Adolf Hitler virtually commenced his crusade as a champion of Christianity. While there are those who question the sincerity of his Christian (Roman Catholic) religious convictions, the Roman Catholic Church never saw fit to excommunicate him while giving him enthusiastic support in Germany and in the Vatican, especially after the attack on the Soviet Union in June 1941 ... That the Roman Catholic Church had no hesitancy to back fascism in the name of the crusade against "godless atheistic communism" needs no documentation here ..." {"Catholicism and Fascism", by Robert F. Nordlander, Free Thought Magazine, April, 1990; Emphasis added]

Let us continue examining this Catholic side to Hitler.

"After the death of Pius XI, the electoral procedure to elect another pope had begun. The March 1939 election favored Pacelli and four days later, Pacelli made it clear that he would handle all German affairs personally. He proposed the following affirmation of Hitler:

'To the Illustrious Herr Adolf Hitler, Fuhrer and Chancellor of the German Reich! Here at the beginning of Our Pontificate We wish to assure you that We remain devoted to the spiritual welfare of the German people entrusted to your leadership.... During the many years we spent in Germany, We did all in Our power to establish harmonious relations between Church and State. Now that the responsibilities of Our pastoral function have increased Our opportunities, how much more ardently do We pray to reach that goal. May the prosperity of the German people and their progress in every domain come, with God's help, to fruition!'

"Pacelli became a crowned Pope on March 12, 1939 (Pius XII). The following month on April 20, 1939, at Pacelli's express wish, Archbishop Orsenigo, the nuncio in Berlin, opened a gala reception for Hitler's fiftieth birthday. The birthday greetings thus initiated by Pacelli immediately became a tradition; each April 20 during the few years left to Hitler and his Reich, Cardinal Bertram of Berlin would send 'warmest congratulations to the Fuhrer in the name of the bishops and the dioceses in Germany', to which he added 'fervent prayers which the Catholics in Germany are sending to heaven on their altars'." [Cornwell, John, Hitler's Pope: The Secret History of Pius XII, Viking, 1999, p. 209]

Adolf Hitler died a Catholic in good standing within the Catholic Church, was never excommunicated, and was supported by the Vatican even after the war! Rome established and operated an escape route through Italy for former Nazi officials that has become known as the "Vatican Rat Lines" ["Unholy Trinity", by Mark Aarons and John Loftus]

The fact of history is that Adolf Hitler could not have carried out either his war or his Holocaust without the active support of Rome. There were individual priests and nuns who did resist Hitler during the war, at great expense and peril to themselves; nevertheless, the official policy of Rome supported Hitler.

The Confessing Church

"... the thought of a state controlled national church could mean loss of control by the pastors of the Church. Naturally many pastors became concerned; some protested quietly to themselves and others, openly, by forming the Confessing Church. Nevertheless, most pastors allied themselves with the Nazi party and their anti-Semitic views got published in the Protestant press even before Hitler's election into power ... Hitler wanted to combine all the regional Protestant churches into a single and united Reich Church. Of course this meant government control of the Church and a minority of Lutheran Pastors foresaw the dangers. In 1933, a few Protestant Pastors, namely Martin Niemöller, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Karl Barth and others formed the 'Pastors Emergency League' which later became known as 'The Confessing Church' to oppose the state controlled Nazi Church.

"It bears some importance to understand that Germany did not recognize the Confessing Church as an official Church. Not only the Nazis, but all other Protestant Churches condemned the Confessing Church. They thought of it as a minority opposition that held little power. The vast majority of German churches supported Hitler and his policies against the Jews." ["Christianity In Europe During World War II", by John Walker June 2002].

Sadly, three prominent Protestant theologians highly respected within the German Church set out to defend Hitler and provide an intellectual and pseudo-religious rationale for supporting the Nazi dictator. Unfortunately, these three theologians proved singularly successful in persuading church leaders throughout Germany into following Hitler, thus muting the most potentially powerful voice of opposition to the Nazi madman. The DVD, above, "Theologians Under Hitler" tells the story well. Today, Liberal theologians are throwing their support to President Obama and his policies. History is repeating because people have neither learned from it nor listened attentively to the Holy Spirit.

Once again, there were numerous individuals who risked their lives and the lives of loved ones, to resist Hitler and to save the lives of many Jews; however, the "vast majority of German churches supported Hitler and his policies against the Jews". Too many Evangelical and Baptist leaders supported Hitler, especially during the early years, 1921-1939, when their determined opposition might have made a difference.

CONCLUSION

"If you are trying to understand Hitler, the last thing you can believe are his words." [Mattingly, Ibid.; Emphasis added]

This quote brings us squarely back to "Words", does it not? Just as too many Evangelical and Baptists supported Hitler on the basis of some of his words alone, ignoring other words and deeds that would have revealed his true nature, so do many Christians today support President Bush on the same basis. In Parts 1 through 3 of this series, we have shown you the true side and nature of President Bush.

As Bush leads the world into the New World Order, remember that this system he is attempting to establish with United Nations cooperation is the "Kingdom of Antichrist". Further, we demonstrate in Seminar 2, "America Determines The True Path of History", the Bush New World Order is essentially identical to Hitler's. As you contemplate how you will react to this coming war, remember it is being fought to establish Antichrist.

Two Illuminists at key moments in world history played the role of "Christian" to their people, deceiving too many, including Christians who should have spotted him in a "New York Minute"!

Truly, Jesus was right when he prophesied unparalleled political and spiritual deception at the End of the Age [Matthew 24:24]

"For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets ... insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect." Matt 24:24

Are you spiritually ready? Is your family? Are you adequately protecting your loved ones? This is the reason for this ministry, to enable you to first understand the peril facing you, and then help you develop strategies to warn and protect your loved ones. Once you have been thoroughly trained, you can also use your knowledge as a means to open the door of discussion with an unsaved person. I have been able to use it many times, and have seen people come to Jesus Christ as a result. These perilous times are also a time when we can reach many souls for Jesus Christ, making an eternal difference.

If you have accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Savior, but have been very lukewarm in your spiritual walk with Him, you need to immediately ask Him for forgiveness and for renewal. He will instantly forgive you, and fill your heart with the joy of the Holy Spirit. Then, you need to begin a daily walk of prayer and personal Bible Study.

If you have never accepted Jesus Christ as Savior, but have come to realize His reality and the approaching End of the Age, and want to accept His FREE Gift of Eternal Life, you can also do so now, in the privacy of your home. Once you accept Him as Savior, you are spiritually Born Again, and are as assured of Heaven as if you were already there. Then, you can rest assured that the Kingdom of Antichrist will not touch you spiritually.

If you would like to become Born Again, turn to our Salvation Page now.

We hope you have been blessed by this ministry, which seeks to educate and warn people, so that they can see the coming New World Order -- Kingdom of Antichrist -- in their daily news.

Finally, we would love to hear from you.

God bless you.
