112th Live Stream with Carlton Pearson - STD: S-piritually T-ransmitted D-isease.

About this sermon

The Dis - ease of a S-piritually T-ransmitted D-isease. People often make the claim that Adolph Hitler adhered to Atheism, Humanism or some ancient Nordic pagan mythology. He did explore such things, but history records that as a young boy, Hitler's most ardent goal was to become a priest. Much of his philosophy came from the Bible, and more influentially, from the Christian Social movement. With regard to religious STDs, (spiritually transmitted diseases), millions of people supported Hilter's assault on Jews and others he deemed undesirable or impure human beings. He based his professed on Christian values, including the Vatican's Pope & bishops who never disowned him and in fact blessed him! As evidence to his claimed Christianity, he said: "My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God's truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. 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 and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, 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. As a Christian I have no duty to allow myself to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice... And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows. For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people. -Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed.
