Hitler Praying
"My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior... I am fighting for the work of the Lord." - Speech, 12 April 1921 ["Adolph Hitler: A perverted Christian?", Terry Mattingly On Religion] Hitler confesses Jesus as "Lord and Savior".
"Hitler is reported to have spoken, glowingly, about raising the 'treasures of the living Christ,' the persecution of the 'true Christians and sanctimonious churches that have placed themselves between God and man and to turn away from the anti-Christian , smug individualism of the past,' and 'to educate the youth in particular in the spirit of those of Christ's words that we must interpret anew: love one another; be considerate of your fellow man; remember that each of you is not alone a creature of God, but that you are all brothers!" [Turner, "In Hitler-- Memoirs of a Confidant", Ch. 23; Emphasis added]
I challenge anyone to show me any testimony from George W. Bush that is as strong as this testimony from Hitler.
"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 ..." ["Catholicism & Fascism: A Brief Retrospective", by Robert E. Nordlander, April, 1990]
"Today, 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." [Ibid.]
"As a Christian ..." [Ibid.; Repeated many times]
"For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people." [Ibid.]
"When I go out in the morning and see these men standing in their queues and look into their pinched faces, then I believe I would be no Christian, but a very devil, if I felt no pity for them, if I did not, as did our Lord two thousand years ago, turn against those by whom today this poor people are plundered and exploited." [Ibid.]
"The church is certainly necessary for the people. It is a strong and conservative element." ["Memoirs" Albert Speer, p. 95] Later on this same page, Albert Speer noted that Hitler strongly believed that the Christian church was indispensable in political life.
"We don't want to educate anyone in atheism. ["Hitler's Table-Talk", p. 6]
"God is with us" - [Calic, Edouard, Ed., "Secret Conversations With Hitler," The John Day Company, p. 6: NOTE: Hitler repeated this phrase exceedingly often in his speeches, and he always drew the applause].
"We do not forget the influence of the churches" [Ibid., p. 79]
"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator" [Hitler, Mein Kampf] Like President Bush, Hitler invoked the "Almighty" consistently in his speech; also like Bush, Hitler was NOT speaking of the Biblical Almighty, Omnipotent God, Creator of the Universe. Rather, Hitler and Bush both are thinking of the "Almighty Force" -- god of forces [Daniel 11:38]
