Didn't Hitler the government of the time cause Christians to sin?

Question

By murdering the Jews and sending even little children to gas chambers. So is the government always right?
when should a person stand up and say, that is just not right?

Answer 1

As you have been told by another on line friend, no one can make you sin if you refuse to do so. Many times other people can tempt us to sin, but no one can ever make us sin, if we set our will to refuse to do so. Many times we may have to go through much persecution because of refusing to surrender unto the desires of other people, including the government. But we ourselves are the only one who can cause us to sin. Why was Paul and Silas put into jail in the Book of Acts? It was because they refused to do as the government officials told them to so. By no means is the government always right; including the government of the United States of America. If they are always right, then why is the government in the mess that it is in? The government is made up of human beings just like you and me. And all humans make mistakes. So this one point ought to prove that the government is always right. And most definitely, we should always stand up for what is right; even if it means being placed in jail or prison for doing so. It is true that we are told in God's Word to obey those who have authority over us. But not when it comes so far as making us to have to be disobedient unto God. Anytime that anything goes against the Word of God, then it is time to say no; or that is just not right!

Answer 2

The murders that were committed during the Holocaust were not just against the Jews, Christians, Catholic Priests, Gypsies, The physically or mentally handicapped, or anyone that disagreed and stood in his way all faced death. There were millions killed beyond the six million Jews were killed. Many Christians hide their Jewsish neighbors and help them flee the area.
The government is made up of human beings, so no their never always right. That is why is so important to pay attention to whats happening around you and VOTE!!! The only thing evil needs to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

Answer 3

No one ever causes another person to sin. It is the free will of the person to choose. The people of Germany during world war II should have stood up to the government or left the country. Many people did and many Christians also went to the gas chambers. You don't hear too much of this, but it did happen. Check it out.
I don't think a person should ever say, "My country, right or wrong". If a war that your country started is unjust then don't enlist or don't go along with the draft." If necessary leave the country.
You should always put your Christian Morals (God's Laws) above the laws of men.

Answer 4

IS the government always right? What fool could think so? War is the conflict of two governments with conflicting ideologies - and what on this Earth, or anywhere else, could make them both right, and yet wrong enough to kill for?

And when should a person challenge their government? As SOON as it is wrong! For to let it go, to countenance evil in even the smallest doses, is to countenance Evil to its fullest degree. One of the most basic tenets of Good is that a little evil is still Evil, even as one of the most basic tenets of Evil is that a little evil can be used for Good. Should we wait until we must fight our own governments in open revolution to stand up for Good? If we allow this to occur, we are as responsible as any, for we have allowed a little evil to be spread in the name of Good, and it has turned that which was Good to that which is Evil. In such manner the human race has nearly destroyed itself before, and someday, may yet succeed.

Answer 5

If you mean forcing people to do what they would not, by fear of death, yes they did.

Would I have done anything differently.
I don't know.
Tough decisions are easy to talk about until you are in it.
Then the story changes.

The goody two shoeses passed laws to prohibit the killing of coyotes.
It sounds good.
To preserve the ecology.
Now the ecology is out of balance, we have so many coyotes we don't know what to do with them.
They are killing peoples pets, cats and small dogs.
When the food is gone, they will start on small children. Didn't think of that though did they?

People should keep their noses out of what they don't understand.
I made a statement, I hope you don't mind.

Answer 6

the duty of the government should be to help serve its people, not tell them what is right and what is not. a person should stand up and say something as soon as they perceive that something is wrong. that's why freedom of speech is so important. it is your duty as part of the human race living in a society to educate yourself, learn as much about the world as possible, and better it if you can. if you blindly accept what other people tell you is true, then you could become an ignorant evil-doer just like the people that tortured those jews and other christians to death because someone they perceived to be powerful and god-like and an answer to all their problems told them to.

Answer 7

Many Christians opposed Hitler and were killed as a result.
There were many many Christians in concentration camps.

Christians are to obey the government, except in cases where the government does something that is against the Laws of God (as taught in the Bible).

Cordially,
John

Answer 8

Nazism was a satanic attack on all of humanity. The Nazi
symbol being the Wheel of Life turned backward.
This attack is still working, in that Christ is unity, where satan
is division. And we are all playing right along with it.
All humans have a spirit within. A beautiful being of light, and love, and we are all Gods children. If somebody says they love
God/Allah/The Great Spirit, whatever one choses to call our Creator, and hates another human being. That person is a
liar!

Answer 9

Some Christians sinned when they "gave-in" to his demands. But, others were steadfast. Some well known Christian religions even supported him, according to history.

Whenever the government is asking you to do something that is contrary to your belief, then you should stand up and say, as the 1st Century Christians did: "We must obey God as ruler than men." Acts chapter 5

The book of Acts gives many examples of them refusing to give up their stand for God.

Also, the 3 Hebrews, better known by their Babylonian names: Shadrack, Meshack, and Abednego (translated to English, of course), were willing to be thrown into a fiery furnace that was so hot that the men who threw them in were burned to death. (1st 3 chapters of Daniel)

Answer 10

It's true that many so-called christians supported Hitler

To take one example, how did the tyrant Adolf Hitler become chancellor—and dictator—of Germany? It was through the political intrigue of a papal knight whom the previous German chancellor, Kurt von Schleicher, described as “the kind of traitor next to whom Judas Iscariot is a saint.” This was Franz von Papen, who marshaled Catholic Action and leaders in industry to oppose communism and unite Germany under Hitler. As part of a sellout bargain, von Papen was made vice-chancellor. Hitler sent a delegation headed by von Papen to Rome to negotiate a concordat between the Nazi State and the Vatican. Pope Pius XI remarked to the German envoys how pleased he was that “the German Government now had at its head a man uncompromisingly opposed to Communism,” and on July 20, 1933, at an elaborate ceremony in the Vatican, Cardinal Pacelli (who was soon to become Pope Pius XII) signed the concordat

One historian writes: “The Concordat [with the Vatican] was a great victory for Hitler. It gave him the first moral support he had received from the outer world, and this from the most exalted source.” During the celebrations at the Vatican, Pacelli conferred on von Papen the high papal decoration of the Grand Cross of the Order of Pius. Winston Churchill, in his book The Gathering Storm, published in 1948, tells how von Papen further used “his reputation as a good Catholic” to gain church support for the Nazi takeover of Austria. In 1938, in honor of Hitler’s birthday, Cardinal Innitzer ordered that all Austrian churches fly the swastika flag, ring their bells, and pray for the Nazi dictator.

The vatican helped significantly in putting Hitler into power and in giving him “moral” support. The Vatican went further in tacitly consenting to Hitler’s atrocities. During the long decade of Nazi terror, the Roman pontiff kept quiet while hundreds of thousands of Catholic soldiers were fighting and dying for the glory of the Nazi regime and while millions of other unfortunates were being liquidated in Hitler’s gas chambers.

In contrast many true christians were put into concentration camps, persecuted and even killed because they took a completely neutral stand and refused to have anything to do with the war.
