Christianity & National Socialism do not mix
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
When the rain starts fallen, it's too late.
It's too late.
Hi folks, I am the shameless spurg.
I hope you're doing well today.
So today I want to discuss why I believe National Socialism and similar systems are not compatible with Christianity.
Now, previously, as a National Socialist, I made videos detailing this issue why I believed Christianity was not compatible with National Socialism.
It was an appeal to both National Socialist and Christians to understand that the two things fundamentally do not actually mix.
I'm going to make the same case, but from a different standpoint this time, because I have returned to my faith in Christ.
I am Christian.
But my point of view that these two things do not really mingle still remains.
Okay, and so I want to make this case from a biblical standpoint as to why I think that these things do not go together.
And let me preface this by saying, I know that you know Hitler and Co.
used some language, uh Gut mitts, you know, God with us, and he made references to Christianity and the Christian nature of their party, and so on.
On the other hand, they created an entire denomination to make up for what they saw as the pitfalls of Christianity.
They created positive Christianity, where they essentially gutted the old testament and then sort of recast Jesus Christ as this like European ethos warrior figure.
And I get it, I understand why they did this.
Uh, and then they also did things like replace pictures of Jesus with pictures of Hitler.
Now, this is the kind of thing that you also see in state-approved churches in communist countries.
Okay, it just am it just the fact is that's exactly how they handle these things.
You know, there will be gradually an insistence on placing the leader as the Messiah, casting him as the Messiah, and de-emphasizing Jesus, because you really can't have both.
You can't have both a totalitarian dictator and have people venerating Jesus Christ above all things.
You can't have both of these at the same time.
And that's why they had to create an entire denomination of state-approved Christianity.
And I think a lot of people are existing in a state of cognitive dissonance about this.
Um, the party was not in this state of cognitive dissonance, they realized what they were up against, and they had to create this other variant of Christianity just to make up for the fact that they weren't compatible as as is.
They had to undergo modifications to make them seem more compatible in the plan of overall phasing out the Christian faith.
Whether you think Hitler's table talks were legitimate or not, I believe that comparing some of the basic ethos of National Socialism with that of the Bible kind of demonstrates the point as to why I think these things are oil and water.
Um so let's just get into it.
Let's start here with a passage from Psalm 127 verse 1.
Except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it, except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain.
So here we have, you know, he's saying it's literally in vain to try to build the house, build a nation, whatever, without the Lord at the center, without the Lord as the foundation, without seeking him to build and establish this thing, you're doing it in vain.
Uh elsewhere, let's see, in Proverbs chapter 16, verse 5, we have everyone that is proud in heart is an abomination to the Lord, though hand join in hand, he shall not be unpunished.
Now look, what is National Socialism if not proud in heart?
What is the ideal of the Ubermensch if not proud in heart?
It's about the mightiness of man, it's about reaching that greatness.
One might even say that it has a bit of Luciferian pride to it.
Okay.
So elsewhere in Proverbs chapter 16, verses 17 through 19, we see the highway of the upright is to depart from evil.
He that keepeth his way preserveth his soul.
Pride goeth before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.
Better it is to be of a humble spirit with the lowly than to divide the spoil with the proud.
Now, a lot of people like to cite this verse because of the pride movement.
Understandably, they build themselves the pride movement.
The Bible is inherently against pride.
It does not specify what kind of pride.
The idea is that you're puffing yourself up, you're making yourself great and mighty, and he's not about that.
He doesn't like people puffing themselves up and being great and mighty.
He's not about that.
So it doesn't matter what it is you're proud of, he doesn't want pride out of you.
So you know, whether you like that or not, whether you think that being called to humility is a good thing or not, that is what he is calling us to.
Okay.
So elsewhere we have in Proverbs chapter 16, verse 25, there is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.
Okay.
Um, you know, what is national socialism in similar systems, but man's attempt to correct problems using just fleshly earthly means.
We come up with these solutions, we devise these solutions for very real problems, and we think, yeah, that's the way we've got to go about it.
And here it's saying that you know the end thereof may be death.
Um, I would argue that National Socialism ended in death, but didn't last very long, and it did not prosper.
And we can point fingers and we can blame the world war, and we can blame this and that, and I understand on a practical level what it was that prevented National Socialism from continuing and prospering.
On the other hand, it seems to line up with scripture here.
Is this a house that the Lord built?
Or might they have labored in vain?
Alright, so let's go on to Proverbs chapter 16 verses 27 through 32.
Here we have an ungodly man diggeth up evil, and in his lips there is a burning fire.
A froward man soweth strife, and a whisperer separateth chief friends.
Now, just real quick, froward here means stubbornly contrary and disobedient, obstinate, not willing to yield or comply with what is required or reasonable.
Perverse, disobedient, peevish lips is a burning fire.
I mean, I can certainly attest to having lips of a burning fire for sure.
I mean, listen to me rattle off, listen to my seventy some odd videos preceding this.
I get pissed, and I mean rightly so.
So it continues on at verse 29 A violent man enticeth his neighbor and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
He shutteth his eyes to devise forward things, moving his lips, he bringeth evil to pass.
The hulry head is a crown of glory, if it be found in the way of righteousness.
Now, Hullry here, H O A R Y, it means grey or white, as if with age, you know, mature.
He that is slow to anger is better than the mighty, and he that ruleth his spirit than he that taketh a city.
Being slow to anger, better than the mighty, ruling his spirit, better that he rule his spirit than take a city.
These these are not things that speak to me of man's greatness, of taking over and establishing the ultra mega fascist empire and all of this stuff.
Okay, that's not what I see in these passages.
Like it or not, these passages speak of a very different kind of spirit, a very different type of attitude is being dealt with here.
Um, hopping over to Psalm chapter 2, verses 1 through 4, we have why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
So he thinks it's funny.
He thinks it's funny when we puff ourselves up and get all boastful and mighty, and we think we're so great.
He thinks this stuff's funny.
He laughs at it and mocks at it.
And certainly these things do not prosper or last for long, whether we like that or not.
I mean, there seems to be an ongoing pattern of we try to do this thing and build ourselves up really high, and it just gets knocked right down, no matter how right we thought we were about it.
So here we have 2 Corinthians chapter 10 verses 3 through 5.
For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh, for the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds, casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.
Okay, so you know, again with the imagination, casting down imaginations, you know, we treat the war that we're in fundamentally as one of the flesh.
I mean, we can recognize the symptoms, we can recognize the problems, and using our reasoning, we come up with what we think are the best solutions.
And to me, it makes total sense why one might say, Well, National Socialism, I mean, it's kind of the cleanup crew, it's sort of like we see the problem.
Well, let's just do something about it.
I mean, I completely understand, but maybe we've been going about this the wrong way.
And again, we have the repeating pattern of exalting oneself, of rising up and being high and mighty and proud, ubermensch, if you will.
This has got to sound familiar to you.
So in Ephesians chapter 6, verses 10 through 20, we have finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of his might, put on the whole armor of God that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
Let me pause there.
I think we've all seen the spiritual wickedness.
I think we've seen the darkness.
I think that we have seen these things happening.
I mean, would you not agree unless you're a stark materialist?
And you know, if so, why are you here?
Go be with the Marxist.
I think we see these principalities, these powers, the rulers of the darkness of this world.
And we're we're trying to devise flesh and blood means for countering these things, but I don't think you can, because the war is not really one of flesh and blood.
Look, I'm not saying that we never do anything.
I'm not saying that we don't take real world action, but what I am saying is that first and foremost, this thing is calling us to spiritual war, that there's an underlying spiritual current behind all of this stuff, and we need to not lose sight of that fact.
And unfortunately, systems like National Socialism or similar systems, they tend to just disregard the spiritual aspect of things.
It's no, we have to do all of this stuff.
Again, I understand.
If you don't have your faith in the Lord, you're gonna have to think of something like that.
You're gonna have to come up with solutions, and they're gonna have to be really serious heavy-duty solutions.
So I completely get it.
But here we have you know, this passage calling us to to the opposite.
It's calling us to put on the armor of God and to fight spiritual warfare.
So he continues on in verse uh thirteen.
Wherefore take unto you the whole armor of God that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all to stand.
Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness, and your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, above all, taking the shield of faith wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked, and take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the spirit,
which is the word of God, praying always with all prayer and supplication in the spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints, and for me that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in bonds, that therein I may speak boldly as I ought to speak.
So, you know, here it is, it's telling us what we have available to us um to equip ourselves with in this fight.
Again, it doesn't just mean sitting around praying and doing nothing all the time, but it does mean praying and arming yourselves with the armor of God and taking up that shield and taking up the sword of the spirit.
That has to be our primary mode of defense, that has to be our first line of defense.
It kind of needs to be the foundation of our defense, sort of like Jesus Christ should be the foundation of anything that we build.
Here it's telling us, you know, first the spirit, then we can talk about worldly action.
But if we aren't addressing matters of the spirit first, we are laboring in vain, and we're gonna lose that fight.
We have to bring some real juice to this.
You know, and I feel that our enemies are deeply spiritual people, and whether you think their beliefs are completely ridiculous or not, seems to not matter all that much.
They take them seriously, they're pretty spiritual.
Why aren't we?
And we can't just come up with some earthly system to try to counter it.
It's just not enough, it's not good enough.
So here we have in 1 John chapter 2 verses 15 through 18 love not the world, neither the things that are in the world.
If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him.
For all that is in the world, the lust of the flesh and the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life is not of the Father, but is of the world, and the world passeth away and the lust thereof, but he that doeth the will of God abideth forever.
Again, what do I gotta say here?
It's telling us to be all entangled with this world, and what we consider greatness in this world, and what we consider desirable in this world, and what we consider worth boasting of and being proud of in this world.
He makes mincemeat of it here.
So, you know, what do you what are you gonna do with that?
You can't come up with some worldly system that's predicated on the idea of creating the overman, the superman, the strong man.
That's not what this is calling us to do.
Um, You know, love it or hate it.
Um, you know, here we are being called to have humility before the Lord and to put him before all things.
And I don't think that you can do that at the same time while trying to build yourself up into something high and mighty.
It just doesn't go together.
Um, so it continues on.
Little children, it is the last time, and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists, whereby we know that it is the last time.
And picking up from there in 1 John chapter 2, verses 22 to 23, we have who is a liar, but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ.
He is antichrist that denieth the Father and the Son.
Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father, but he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also.
So this passage makes it very clear that anybody who denies Jesus Christ, anybody who does not have the Father and the Son is anti Christ.
Does that make them the big A antichrist?
No, but it is saying that you are of the Antichrist spirit.
Um now I have to say this too.
Increasingly, I saw a lot of growing hostility, and a pretty significant faction of the National Socialist movement today, that's become very, very hostile to God, very, very hostile to Jesus Christ, and I kind of found myself in that place as well.
Some of you will recall my series of sermons that I did before this called the Christian question.
I was coming at things from this National Socialist angle, and I had become very antagonistic to the gospel.
I started to view it as a problem, something that was in the way.
One might say that I had begun to partake of the Antichrist spirit.
And when some of the people that I was kind of hanging around online started to say things like Jesus and all this other stuff, I was like, Whoa, I think I may be in the wrong place.
Because even though I wasn't Christian at the time, even though I had departed from the faith, even though I was very cold to the Lord, um when I started to hear stuff like that, and I started to see the very direct antagonism and hostility towards the person in name of Jesus Christ, I was like, Whoa, I'm not so sure that I'm standing on the right side of this thing.
Um that that is very antichrist.
And so I watched the antichrist character of it being developed, and to me it naturally logically follows.
There's so much that's in this Bible, and there's so much about the person of Jesus Christ that's kind of an obstacle to some of the goals in the world view of national socialism overall.
Um, again, you know, the building oneself up, there's not humility involved at all.
It's it's about the might of man.
The might of man is anathema to this God.
He makes this very clear throughout all of the scripture.
So I mean, in a very real way, it's an antichrist movement.
So here we get into the book of James, chapter 4, verses 4 through 10.
Alright.
Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that friendship with the world is enmity with God?
Now, when it talks about adulterers and adulteresses, it's not just talking about like, you know, you cheat on your wife.
It means mixture.
It means people trying to have it both ways.
It means trying to blend the worldliness with the spiritual.
So, you know, it's saying, Don't you know the friendship with the world is enmity with God?
That you know, to make yourself a friend of the world is to set yourself at odds with this God.
He makes this very clear.
So he goes on in verse 5 Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, the spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy.
But he giveth more grace.
Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.
Submit yourselves therefore to God, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you.
Cleanse your hands, ye sinners, and purify your hearts, ye double-minded.
Be afflicted and mourn and weep, let your laughter be turned into mourning and your joy to heaviness.
Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.
Does this sound like the warrior ethos that people like to pretend that Christianity is?
Does it sound like something that really goes together with the principles of National Socialism, with the overall worldview and aims and goals of National Socialism?
I don't think so.
I think you have to be exercising extreme cognitive dissonance to think so, and it's sort of calling that out right here, is talking about being double-minded.
I think a lot of people that build themselves Christians in National Socialism at the same time, they are double-minded.
And because they don't go together, they don't mix.
It's trying to mix this worldly thing with this spiritual thing, and it doesn't go together.
Again, that's why they had to invent an entire new denomination of Christianity to essentially be state-approved Christianity.
So we hop over to First Corinthians chapter 1, verses 19 through 21.
For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
Where is the wise?
Where is the scribe?
Where is the disputer of this world?
Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?
For after that in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God.
It pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
So here we have, you know, he brings down these edifices.
We think we're so smart, we think we're so wise.
We spend so much time considering and pondering and making our observations of the patterns and the cycles of nature.
And we think we've got it all figured out.
You know, in our worldly wisdom and our man-devised wisdom, we we think we have it all um figured out.
But he's just saying, like, I destroy the wisdom of the wise.
Well, look, what happened to the ancient world?
You know, we you know, we uh we had these elaborate systems of theology and these pagan empires, and we had pagan philosophy, and look, there's a lot of sense to be found in them.
There's a lot of things that we gleaned from those philosophers that still serve us to this day, but all in all, where are they?
All in all, what happened?
I mean, to me, he said he will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and he'll bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.
I look back over history and say, Well, that looks exactly like what he's done here, and particularly with the emergence of Jesus Christ, it just threw a wrench in everything, and it has been that way ever since.
And I think any attempt to try to revive these types of things, particularly without him, it's just not gonna work out.
Um, he'll make mensemeat of it, he'll make a mockery of it, he'll think it's funny while he does it.
And you know, it goes on to say, for after that in the wisdom of God, the world by wisdom knew not God.
So our earthly wisdom, worldly wisdom didn't bring us to the knowledge of God, and so through our wisdom we didn't know him, and we were so high and mighty in our smarts and our intelligence and in our insight that we couldn't have known God anyway.
We're too puffed up, we were too proud.
And you know, so he's saying it pleased God to use the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
This is him kind of attacking the people that think they're so smart and high and mighty and wise.
He's just like, whatever.
I'm gonna use these babbling fools to deliver my truth, and uh, you guys are gonna think it's funny, but they're the ones that are gonna be right.
That's kind of what he's saying here, and it's sort of an admission like look, we know that the preaching sounds foolish to the eyes of the world, to the wise men of the world.
Of course it does.
He's saying it right here, but it pleased God to use that foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.
He wanted that humility of spirit, that childlike faith, okay, which is not compatible with building oneself up.
So here we have over uh first Corinthians chapter one, verses 25 through 29.
Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.
For you see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called.
But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise, and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty, and base things of the world and things which are despised hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not to bring to naught things that are, that no flesh should glory in his presence.
Now, what do you really see here?
The high and the mighty, did he pick them out?
Like, oh, you guys are super smart, and look at all your amazing architecture, and look at all this awesome philosophy you've come up with, and look at all the things that you can boast of.
Wow, you know, you guys really have it together.
No, he was just like, Yeah, whatever, none of that.
You know, he's like, I'm gonna throw a wrench in the whole system, I'm gonna jam this whole thing up.
You want to know how he jammed it up?
Jesus Christ.
Okay, he used Jesus Christ to jam everything up, and it worked.
Look back over history and tell me that it didn't work.
Oh, wait, what's that?
You're just coping?
Just coping and seething, even maybe what happened?
I can you really tell yourself that it's worked out?
I mean, I feel like ever since Jesus stepped onto the scene, he was just like, Yeah, enough of that, we're not doing that anymore.
And you can try, but it'll be what?
In vain.
It'll be in vain.
Um, because you look, he's the stone that the builders rejected.
And if we're gonna build anything, we have to build with him as the foundation.
That's the only Way it's gonna work, nothing we're gonna do is gonna prosper and last without it.
You know, it doesn't matter how good our intentions are.
So then what are we to do?
Just sit around and pray and do nothing else.
Definitely not what I'm saying.
And I know that there are a lot of Christians that can take it to that extreme, unfortunately.
They will take it so far as to not take real world action to defer literally everything to God.
No, but we have to start with him.
We have to start with putting on the armor of God.
We have to start with putting him at the center.
We have to start with having him as the foundation, or else everything else is in vain.
It doesn't mean that once we've laid that foundation, we can't build on it.
It doesn't mean that we can't take action, but you know, first put on your armor, the armor of God, take up your shield of faith, take up your sword of the spirit, you know, which is the word of God.
These are the things that we have to carry with us into battle.
It's not like it was saying put these things on and then uh, you know, well, then just sit there.
It's not saying that, it's not saying that at all.
And I think that we should be taking real world action.
I think that it's okay to take even drastic measures within one's nation to try to clean things up a bit.
I think that it's okay to think about the future, you know, whether we're talking decades ahead or centuries.
And like myself, I am a believer in end times prophecy.
I am, and you know, even when I was non-Christian, you would have heard me affirming time and time again that these prophecies are either real prophecies or they're plans.
I didn't deny that these things were happening.
I could see them, they're unfolding, and so for a while I just kind of got caught up in the idea.
Look, maybe it's just Jews, okay.
Like maybe it's literally just Jews doing all this stuff, and there's nothing else to it.
There's more to it than that, though.
I see the spirit at play, I see things manifesting in people and in society that I'm sorry, I just can't simply blame Jews for all of it.
I just can't.
I'd have to start ascribing literally godlike powers to them in order to blame them for all of it.
You know, but the problem is there are a lot of people that believe in end times prophecy that take it to the extreme.
They say, Oh, well, you know, uh resistance is futile.
They don't really say those words, but in effect they do, you know.
Oh, well, it's all about to end anyway.
Oh, well, I wouldn't bring kids into this world, Jesus is about to come back and all this stuff, and they just would refuse to take any sort of accountability for tomorrow.
And I've always advised people in the following: even though you may have every reason to believe that the end times is just right around the corner, okay, that it's just we're inching closer and closer, frankly, I believe we are.
But even so, what if you're wrong?
And what if the time scale is way off?
Okay, what if it's decades away?
What if it's centuries away?
You don't know, it doesn't tell you, it just doesn't.
And so you have to still think about tomorrow.
You have to still have a sense of duty to future generations, you have to still care about your nation.
You can't just schlump off all of your duties and your obligations because you're so convinced of this particular narrative, this particular belief.
But you can't lose sight of it either.
You have to keep first things first, you gotta keep the Lord first, you gotta keep him at the center.
He has to be the foundation, yes, and you have to take up your armor, and you have to all of these things, you have to do these things, but then you can't just sit there, like don't do don't do what what's called rapturitis.
Okay, well, people sitting there like, well, the rapture is about to happen, and so there's just no sense doing anything.
That's rapturitis, and that's not good, that's not healthy, okay.
And then whatever your belief is on the rapture doctrine, I'm not here to get into that right now.
It can be taken too far, and it can be taken to the point of you know, doing nothing, making no real world action and thinking nothing of it.
Meanwhile, you got people like me, like I got young kids, how dare you not think of tomorrow?
How dare you not think of tomorrow?
That's how I feel about it, and I knew a lot of people that just didn't care.
In fact, it you know, for some of them, it seemed like it would be an exercise in being unfaithful, just to think that tomorrow was worth fighting for.
So I absolutely do think tomorrow is worth fighting for.
I absolutely do think that we still need to carry on about our business as though tomorrow is worth fighting for, as though we actually have a responsibility to future generations, because we do, we do have that responsibility.
So no matter what our beliefs are, we still owe it to future generations to care about this stuff.
But we can't lose sight, we can't lose sight of the Lord, we can't lose sight of Jesus Christ.
We can't lose sight of the fact that if we try to build a future without him, he's just gonna knock it down, it's gonna knock it down, and it may start off well and it may look like high and mighty and incredible.
Like, look what we were able to devise, look at our strength, look at what we were able to do.
But in the end, if he's not at the center, and if he's not the foundation, he's not gonna bless it.
If it doesn't have his blessing, it's not gonna last.
It's just that simple.
You have to have his blessing.
And that's kind of also why I insist that it's like, yeah, look back at the history of the European peoples.
Sure, we have been very mighty.
I mean, God, look at the things that we have done.
Look at the accomplishments, look at the civilization building, look at the development of legal codes, look at our you know, long-standing traditions, look at our proficiency and technology and science and philosophy and all these things.
Yes, I acknowledge all of that, and yeah, I believe that uh that's something that God placed in us as a gift, you know, he created different peoples.
Um, we can get into the subject some other time of where I believe that the different races came from and what that really has to say, but it is very evident to me that he vested us with certain talents collectively speaking, but in order to actually get the best out of them and to really implement them, we have to have him in the mix.
We just have to.
If we try to do it without him, it'll just get taken down.
If we do it with him, you know, all of our greatness can then shine because he you know will put his blessing on it, he'll allow it to thrive, he'll kind of rain his spiritual reign upon it that it might actually grow, but without that, it's gonna dry up, and that's it.
So, you know, we can't forget God, and when we forget God, we suffer tremendously, and I think that the history bears that out.
I think that recent history bears that out, like in Europe and then the colonies as well, where even though the governments weren't necessarily all established on Christianity, um, especially considering like the American Republic, it wasn't really founded on Christianity.
However, most of the people that lived there and built this place out were Christian.
To that extent, this was a Christian nation.
To the extent that it was peopled by Christians who largely lived in accord with their principles and beliefs, to that extent, we were a Christian nation.
And I think we benefited tremendously from that.
I think that we earned the favor of God.
I think that we earned the blessing of God, and that allowed our strengths and our talents to grow.
It's like it provided the fertile soil for us, and without it, it has nowhere to take root, it has no way to grow, it gets starved of sustenance, of nutrient, and it doesn't matter how much prowess we may have, and it doesn't matter how much intelligence we may have, if if it be not founded on the Lord, we're doing it in vain, we're laboring it in vain.
You know, and if you're not convinced of that, okay, well then just take a look at history and see how well it works out.
So, all that being said, what then are we to do?
Well, I don't know exactly what the answer is to all of our problems, but I can tell you where I think we should start.
This is coming from 2 Chronicles chapter 7, verse 14.
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Now, elsewhere in the Bible, you see the types of judgments that God will level against a nation.
Some other time I think I'm gonna do a study on you know what that actually looks like in the scripture, but you see things that very much line up with some of the problems we're dealing with, particularly regarding you know invasion, replacement, the horrible things that happen to women and children in this exchange.
We see that pattern show up when nations are judged.
And when I look around, I feel like we've been under judgment.
It's at least a part of what's happening, and if it's not God himself directing these things, I think he's just removed his hand of protection.
Why would he protect us?
Bite the hand that feeds, we've been horrible to him.
I mean, as of late, we've been horrible, and now here we are, we're trying to cook up a plan to have a future without him, and I don't think it's gonna work.
And like I said, you know, hanging around some of these circles, I ended up around some people that were so extremely hostile to the person of Jesus Christ that it kind of snapped me out of it a little bit.
I'm like, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm not gonna be on like the enemy side of Jesus Christ here.
That's that's in vain.
You guys don't even understand, you don't understand, and they don't.
And I think that the reason that I understood was look, um, you know, I'd been saved a while ago, okay, and I received the Holy Spirit a while ago, and that changed me.
All right, and and even though I've been unfaithful, and even though I've been double-minded, and even though I've wavered a lot, and it's it's embarrassing, frankly.
But still the fact is something changed in me, something really significant.
And so I think for me it was rather sobering to suddenly find myself among people that are like Jesus, and you know, he's this, that, and the other thing, and say really horrible things I'm not gonna repeat here for obvious reasons.
And it just really got my attention, and then it just it brought me face to face with this idea.
Am I going to fight against him?
Like, am I going to willfully consciously fight against him?
Whew, God forbid.
Um, that doesn't work out.
Okay, even from just a practical standpoint, a pragmatic standpoint, whether you believe in Jesus Christ or not, hey, you should.
But whether you believe in him or not, man, it just doesn't work out.
You attack him, he grows stronger.
You try to crush the church, it spreads.
You're not gonna beat him, okay?
You're just not gonna conquer him, and you need to get that out of your mind, and you need to get the idea out of your mind that you're so high and mighty and so bold and so strong and so wise, and you're just gonna figure it all out without him.
That's very that's Luciferian.
You know, people will toss that term around, but the essence of being Luciferian is I will, I will, I will arise, I will take the throne.
You know, that's that's the essence.
It's pride, it's that greatness, it's that assertion of one's greatness and might and splendor and pride and beauty and all of that stuff, saying I don't need you.
Look how great I am, look how great we are.
Does that not sound familiar?
Look how great we are.
Look at you know, all of our achievements, look at the science, look at the art, look at the architecture, look at all this stuff, look how great we are.
I will, I will, I will.
You see, you see what I mean?
And that's what I see.
That's what I see in these movements, and I understand the appeal.
I got caught up in that myself.
But just like I said, from the standpoint of being a national socialist, I didn't think Christianity was compatible for really the same reasons I'm telling you now.
Now I tell you as a Christian, I don't believe these things are compatible.
So to the Christian, I call you out of it.
All right, I call you out of it to return to Jesus Christ and to put him at the center and to realize that he has to be our primary focus, or nothing's gonna work out anyway.
And uh to the National Socialist, I'm just trying to make you aware that you know, any any notion of really having like actual unison with Christianity is not really gonna work, okay?
Your platform ultimately aims to disempower, you know, dethrone Jesus Christ.
Okay, it were it not so again, positive Christianity would have never been necessary.
Wake up, you know, you know, Christian national socialists or whatever snap out of it, they had to create an entire denomination to accommodate, okay?
If it was good enough as it was, if it was compatible as it was, nothing would have had to be done, no positive Christianity, no replacing images of Jesus Christ with pictures of Hitler, none of that stuff.
Okay, it would have been just fine how it was, but it wasn't.
Can you ask yourself why?
Please.
Could it just be that the entire ethos of National Socialism rubs up against all of this?
I think so.
If the ethos of National Socialism is essentially one of greatness and splendor and pride and strength and you know, the ubermensch, all of that stuff.
Does that really line up with what I've shared with you here?
Does it line up with you know Jesus Christ who is lowly humble, meek, and so on?
Does it line up with a God who says he hates the splendor and the pride and the mighty and the wise and all of that stuff?
How he mocks it and makes mincemeat of it, he you know, drags it, he laughs at it, he holds it in derision.
Do you really think that they go together?
I don't.
I don't, and I there's really no argument for me to think that they can be reconciled.
One thing or the other has to be compromised.
So it's either the platform of national socialism would have to be compromised to accommodate for that, or Christianity would have to be compromised.
And guess what?
When it comes to these governmental systems, it's always the Christianity that gets compromised.
That's just how it is.
You get these state churches, in effect, I think we kind of have state churches just like in that informal sense of tons of churches now hold the official position of like, we're you know, LGBTQ affirming, and yeah, anybody can come here, blah blah blah.
All this nonsense.
Um, you know, and and it seems like these days people judge you by how well you can compromise On your own faith.
How good of a Christian are you?
I don't know.
How unseriously do you take your Bible?
The less serious you take it, the better a Christian you are.
Or, you know, how seriously do you take your moral and ethical code from the scripture?
Do you take it very seriously?
Oh, you're a radical, you're a hater.
Um, are you completely lukewarm about it and you don't take it seriously at all?
Well, you're doing a heck in wholesome Christianity then.
You see what I mean?
It's like in spirit, we kind of already have a state Christianity.
Well, National Socialism would offer in its stead something that in practical terms would probably be healthier than what we're seeing right now, but it still nevertheless would be a compromise of Christianity.
It would be a compromise of the primacy of Jesus Christ.
It would be to dethrone him, and it would be to steal away the very context that makes him significant, that makes the person of Jesus Christ so significant.
Cause the fact of the matter is, if you gut the old testament, that's the entire precedent for him.
That you know, without which he has no relevance, without which he came for nothing.
You have to have that.
And to try to like re-work him into this warrior ethos thing, not so fast.
And the reason I say not so fast is because he has two aspects to his ministry, all right.
And I'll get into this some other time.
But one is the suffering servant, which we know about, you know, the gospel account, died, buried, rose again on the third day, so on.
Now the conquering king is supposed to be the second aspect of his ministry, and that's when he comes back, and you know, that's when he really goes to war.
All right, that's when the bloodshed happens.
That's when no more Mr. Nice Jesus happens.
Okay, it does happen.
But it seems like when we try to conquer this unfolding world system all on our own, it just doesn't work out.
Not for long.
One way or another, and we can point fingers and we can blame this faction or another.
But to me, I just look at the overall trend and go, it just falls apart, it just falls apart.
For one reason or the other, we can't keep it together.
Everything just falls apart.
And no matter how well we mean, no matter how hard we tried, no matter how sound and rational we may think our position is.
If we try to do it without Jesus Christ, if we don't place him at the center, if we don't exalt him above all things, it's just not gonna work.
Just not gonna work.
And that's what I believe.
And if you believe that it can work without him, Godspeed, if you will, and if you believe that you can mix the worldly solution with this, well, I mean, God help you, it doesn't go together.
All right, read your Bible.
Don't talk to me about church fathers and all this other nonsense.
Read your Bible.
I just read a good chunk of it.
Most sermons will include uh two or three verses, maybe.
I just read several passages to you that I think demonstrates the point that like he doesn't like the high and mighty, he doesn't want us to raise ourselves in splendor and pride and strength and glory and all this stuff.
You know, he hates it.
He doesn't want flesh to glory in his presence, he doesn't want us to try to show how amazing and good and bold we can be.
He likes a humble heart, he likes childlike faith, he likes us to lean on him for our needs, he likes us to come to him for wisdom and direction and to not lean on our own understanding because he says, lean not on thine own understanding.
Uh he wants us to depend upon him, okay?
And whether you like that or not, that's the pattern he set forth.
He was very clear about it.
Are we gonna depend upon him or not?
And if you're not, okay, you've made your choice.
But I'm calling people to make their choice, okay?
If you really think that we have a future without him, go on.
If you really believe that, I don't have enough faith for it, do you see?
On the other hand, if you believe this passage from Romans chapter 8, verse 28, and we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.
If you're called according to his purpose, all things work together, you know, all things work together to glorify God, all things work together for good.
Because he can take any situation and he can press it into something to glorify his name.
He can take any situation and do amazing things with it, but you have to let him, and in order to let him, you have to get out of the way, and in order to get out of the way, you have to humble yourself.
Okay, there's just no other way around it.
So I just wanted to present that to you.
It's not an exhaustive or comprehensive look at the subject, but I don't think it has to be.
I'm trying to get you To compare the spirit of one thing to another.
Oftentimes that's enough.
Discern the spirits, whether they be of God.
Ask yourself the spirit of National Socialism.
Do you think it lines up with the spirit of God as outlined in the Bible?
As outlined in the scripture.
Do you think that the Ubermensch idea or the warrior ethos actually lines up with the person of Jesus Christ and what he calls us to do?
I don't think so.
I really don't.
And you know, like I said, in the end, yeah, he comes back as the conquering king.
But he's not asking us to be the conquering king.
Alright.
He's asking us to seek after him.
So will you seek after him?
And maybe I should uh appeal to you at this moment.
Choose ye this day whom ye shall serve.
As for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.
It's that simple for me.
Um so you know, I hope that gives you something to think about, whether you agree with me or not.
To me, it seems self-evident.
The spirit of these things is different, they don't really go together.
One has to be compromised.
You know, one or both has to be compromised to even try to make it work.
I'm not saying that nothing from the Notion National Socialist Platform makes sense.
There's plenty of good things.
I know there's gonna be some people listen, like, how dare you?
Everything is bad about it because Nazis just read the party platform, okay?
A lot of the stuff makes sense, whether you like it or not.
The party platform makes a lot of sense.
The party platform indeed would address a lot of the issues that we see today.
My concern is that it's the false light, it's not the real light, it's a false light because it recognizes problems, it recognizes social and economic ills that we're dealing with, and it offers a certain solution.
And I understand from the standpoint of the mind and of the flesh why these solutions are you know desirable.
I get it.
But really, as a Christian, you can't.
Yeah, as a Christian, they don't go together.
And so you have to decide, you have to make a choice.
And it's just not enough that Hitler and uh some of the higher ups spoke of Christianity, um, claim to be Christian.
It's just not enough.
You have to understand that they were dealing with a Christian population, and there was just absolutely no way to appeal to these people without kind of making them comfortable in this way, without sort of appealing to them on the grounds of faith, or you know, you couldn't really ingratiate yourself to them and make yourself sound and feel like a person of the people, a man of the people, if you weren't identifying with something that they kept most sacred and most holy.
But the fact of the matter is, you know, when you actually line up the philosophy of the two, they don't go together, they just don't.
So, you know, just give it some thought.
Those are my thoughts on the matter, and I just wanted to share them with you, and hopefully before long I can uh upload another video.
And until next time, you guys take care.
Remember this first.
The many, many, many scoffers will come and win the rain starts far and it's too late.
