I am referring to the question asked by 'the Dude' which is extremely offensive and may smack of anti-Semitism and other forms of hate. It is wrong to misuse Christianity to support this type of thinking, and has been done in the past. I want that kind of thing stamped out.

yep. I got pretty angry at that last question too.

You have to understand that people are at different levels of maturity and understanding. For some it helps them to have everything in their world in black and white absolutes. They get rather anxious if things don't fit nicely into a box. So they will say things like this. These are the same people who think that they are being helpful when you kid is run over by a car and killed and they say"it was God's will". It isn't, of course, and the Holocaust was never part of God's plan. When people think that something like the Holocaust is "God's plan", what they are really saying is "please don't raise my level of anxiety. If this could happen to the Jews it could happen to me. If you kid can run into the street and be killed, so can mine. And this causes me too much anxiety. So I would rather think that there is some mysterious *plan* that I am too ignorant to know about, but is for my own good. I will not be anxious about life, I will just put everything in the hands of God" You see how this helps people to cope with life? Just pity them and move on.

It wasn't. It was master minded by satan.
As for you... mashiah48 and your response to my answer to the question, I answered the guy's question about"Why the hell would anyone claim that the Holocaust was 'part of God's plan'? "
I have never heard anyone refer to the holocaust as a part of God's plan.. Get off your high horse sweetie.

I don't believe it was 'part of Gods plan.
It was Hitler (of an antichrist spirit) who wanted to take over the world.
So there will be another Hitler antichrist type ruler after the rapture of the church.
Murderers don't kill people because God directs it. It is the antichrist, anti-Israel, satans, mystery Babylons plan.

There are those who believe the Jews have been persecuted, allowably by God because they have shunned Jesus Christ as their messiah. Of course that is not true, at least biblically. The bible teaches God loves all and wishes all to come to Him.

If you are referring to "The Dude's" question, he did not claim it was, he ASKED if it was. There's a difference.

You have to extract obedience.
"Fear" is the best available tool to make people obey.
And thus the ' Holocaust.

Because it's necessarily true if God is an omnipotent omniscient being. The statement is, however, irrelevant.
