Can a Christian be Nationalistic? Part-Two.

How about another question. Can a believer in Jesus be a racist?

Many people today have refused to leave their baggage with the Lord and continue to carry it with them in to the life of the ekklesia, without even thinking that they are not in a full and real relationship with God. Racism is an ever evil in every society on the planet, but it should not be in the Church?

What is our excuses to holding on to these views, when we claim to have faith in the Jewish Messiah. Would it not be better to change our attitudes before Jesus and move on with Him.

Can a Christian be Nationalistic? Part-One.

It is said today we live in such a liberal society, that we can be anything we want to be?

But is this really true?  Can Born-again Believers really be anything or do we have to live our lives to Jesus standards and follow Him?  Many hold on to their baggage, instead of letting go, the prejudices, racism, arrogance and nationalism. But is God is not like us and He does not want this earthly things to block, especially our witness of Jesus to a lost world.

John 3:16,  James 2:2-6,   1:14,   19-20.

The Crusades. Part-Five.

Eventually the Crusader armies made it to the Holy lands and their they proceeded to do to the local Muslim and Jewish inhabitants, especially in Jerusalem, massacre them. What was done here still reverberates across Islam to this day. All conflicts in the middle east, Afghanistan, Somalia are seen as a continuation of the wars of Saladin and the Christians.

So how do Christians deal with this factor, some today have chosen to be anti-Israeli and have taken on the Palestinians rights to claim the land. But this in it self will not heal the rift.

As we have seen in other blogs in relation to Palestine God is an estate-agent and throughout the Bible has promised the Jews a return to the land, a restoration and the promises that they will never be removed.

The Crusades. Part-Four.

Despite all the killings the first Crusade proceeded across Europe to Constantinople (modern Istanbul) in western-Turkey. But they were delayed by nearly one year when the king of Hungary blocked their path, after he found out they wanted to kill the Jewish population. To him the Jewish community had brought his kingdom wealth and he did not want to loose that. In the second and third Crusades, his kingdom was obliterated by the French and German knights.

When the first Crusade reached Constantinople, they more or less destroyed it. By this period the Byzantine empire was in decline and this was the last chapter for the Christian Eastern Church. Meanwhile all of these events were encouraged by the Maronite Christians in the Middle-east, who switched allegiance from the Byzantines to the Roman Catholics in Rome.  Jeremiah 7:26.

The Crusades. Part-Three.

In 1098 the first Crusade set out from France, through Germany to the Holy Lands. But not far into Germany, the Crusader knights attacked the settled Jewish population. In ignorance they classed the Jews as none Christians and similar to the Turks.

This is described by Jewish historians as the first Holocaust. In fact the whole crossing of Europe lead to massacre after massacre. Christian historians have claimed ‘it was the ignorant peasants who carried out this wanton murder.’

But the discovery of recent documentation reveals it was the knights themselves who carried out the attacks.  Luke 14:27.

The Crusades. Part-Two.

The Crusades began with great ideals of protecting pilgrims in the Holy lands and fervor for the Crusade was quickly put together across the Royal courts of Europe, particularly France and Germany by hermits and monks.  The desire to please the Pope in Rome, probably was connected more with indulgences, such as prayers for dead ancestors transit from purgatory to heaven.

Meanwhile the Pope wanted to unify Europe and bring both the Roman Catholic Church and nations all under his one umbrella of power.

The Crusades. Part-One.

Today the modern middle-east and the Muslim, Islamic world and religion still reel from the events of the (Christian) Crusades. These historical events and battles against Islam, but also the minority of Jews living at the time in the Holy lands. These events still have consequences in the Muslim mind and remain an viable influence.

Wars today, Jihad have all a remaining influence in the political, tribal affliliation and their determination to rid western Christian influence over them, this includes the current wave of so called democracy.

During the 11th century European clergy propagated a great Crusade to defend Christian pilgrims in the Holy lands, from attacks by bandits, tribes men and Muslims. This move made by the Roman Catholic Church of the day, was done in an early attempt to unify Europe.  Romans 3:23,

Demytholization. Part-Five.

The greatest statement made by the theologian Karl Barth was that ‘Nazism was not like Communism.’ Nazi’s sought to replace Jesus with Adolf Hitler in the scriptures, while Communism just dismissed the bible. They did not interfere with its texts.

Today the European Union has gone ahead and placed the two ism’s on a par of equal evil, but this is not true and the EU are using it in a continued anti-Christian stance, anti-Semitic/Jewish agenda.

It is a subject that real born-again believers cannot afford to sit by an accept. If you do accept this, then you will open yourselves to anti-Christ teaching and apostasy.

Mark 3:21-22,   Mark 13:6,   Luke 21:8,  Revelation 19:20.

Demytholization. Part-Four.

The German Dictator Adolf Hitler encompassed the teaching of 19th century Fascists J.A. Gobineau and H.S. Chamerlain. He then proceeded to add in Nordic religious ideas. But the holocaust or final solution was his own, based on his own personal hatred of the Jewish race.

It is hard to know if he really believed in the Nordic religions or just used them, like most of his political ideals to gain power. At the end he committed suicide and was found in a hole in the ground.

2 John 1:7,  Matthew 24:26,  Revelation 19:20.

Demythologization. Part-Three.

How was it it between 1929 and 1933 that the German Christians could not see the introduction of Teutonic mythology being added into their beliefs?

The Dictator Adolf Hitler was a clever man at working delusion and deception and there are as many today in theological institutions, who are probably using these same tactics.

Satan is very good at deceiving the unsuspecting, those who doubt the power of evil, who deny demoniac activity as not being real. We must continue to be on our guard as believers all the time, to not allow the enemy a foothold in our lives, the Church and Christian society around us.

Luke 21:8, Mark 13:6, Mark 13:21-22, 1 John 2:22, 2 John 1:7.
