I’m glad that the New Testament does not call such judgment down on the earth through the followers of God.

If I understand prophecy correctly, the judgment will come, but not like when the Israelites invaded the Promised Land.

Every knee shall bow, every tongue confess…

It is also interesting to note that perhaps the most famous opposition group to Hitler’s regime were motivated by their Christian worldview…Die Weisse Rose (The White Rose).

Sometimes the facts need no embellishment. I know what you mean about not blaming the soldiers. Throughout history, people have done some awful things in the name of service -- of God or country. Imagine those old testament scenes where everyone was wiped out "down to the last woman and child." That had to be pretty brutal. Wow. Sometimes the facts need no embellishment.

It is a compound word meaning basically "one who takes the place of another." A young catholic priest takes the place of a Jew slated for death. And he cries out against the Church for their silence in the matter. Challenging reading, to say the least.<br /><br />It is fiction, but incredibly moving. "The Investigation" is also a drama, but the words are taken from the recordings of the Aushwitz trials in Frankfurt. btw, another interesting play is Hochhuth’s “Stellvertreter” (The Representative).

I wrote some time ago about my parenting philosophy..."reasoned obedience."<br /><br />A child needs to learn obedience and to honor their parents.

I agree. I wrote some time ago about my parenting philosophy…”reasoned obedience.”

A child needs to learn obedience and to honor their parents. But that is not the same as the parent taking an authoritarian role. That only prepares the child for an authoritarian state, imho.

He must be taught to listen to instruction, and question what is right.

There are some remarkable stories from the Holocaust of survival, love and courage in the face of such fear.<br /><br />In fact, I'll be commenting more on it in February since it is an important month for one of the most well-known resistance groups.

In fact, I’ll be commenting more on it in February since it is an important month for one of the most well-known resistance groups.

A horrible atrocity which we must make sure our children understand. I have made that a priority. I have often asked myself how a nation could commit such horrific acts to other human beings and to that I have no answer. Fear, denial? I also think about the bravery of those who took a stand and risked their own lives and families to save the lives of those they could. <br /><br />Blessings, Hallie Hi Dana,

With wise parents nearby, children must be allowed to make small mistakes, so they can learn how to make well formed decisions. That takes a lot of practice!!<br /><br />Things were different when I was growing up. I was expected to kiss any relative I was told to, whether I wanted to or not. I was expected to mind adults, period. I'm glad children aren't raised that way any more.
