In the 1930’s the Swiss born Christian theologian Karl Barth was quickly able to discern the evil motives behind the German-Nazi Dictator Adolf Hitler. He knew that it was the intention of Hitler to set up a proxy Church movement to unite the Christians and then destroy them. At the time of the creation of the German Christian Union, no-one could see or cared to see what was happening.
Karl Barth warned in 1931 that the German Christian Church was being influenced and infiltrated by Teutonic mythology. But despite this warning it fell on deaf ears, in eccleisiastical leadership.
People around Europe were already falling under the spell of Adolf Hitler and it is amazing what they could not see.
Today it makes one wonder what is happening to the Church, as we seem to be letting ourselves be deluded again by many different takes on Biblical interpretation?
