An unknown and nameless man was declared dead and wished dead
but rose to victory.
Is the Holocaust worse than abortion? Does hiding the
bodies, one way or another, wash bloody hands clean? What sophistry is ever the
truth?
Salvation as a theology means nothing. The Blood of
Christ as a metaphor is ambiguous nonsense. The Blood is real and it is payment
for murder.
Did Hitler hate the Jews more than the Jews hate Jesus? Was Hitler worse to the Jews than they were to Jesus?
Hitler was almost
right… but almost is never the truth. He did rid Germany of
trash but he also slaughtered treasures. He robbed, enslaved and murdered
people.
If God would never save Hitler then who would he ever
save? It is the sick, the wounded and especially the dying who need treatment.
Why would he shed his blood under the lash and upon the cross to wash what was
already clean?
Jesus is the humanity as a person from whom all of
humanity is derived. He created our flesh but the soul he sired by his very
essence. Our thoughts and feelings are flow and balance within a system of
constructs whereas our personal gumption is entirely
from within.
Hitler’s thoughts and feelings were shaped by the
swirling chaos of this dysfunctional reality. His gumption stirred him to make
sense of the nonsense. Alas, he was lost in the maelstrom. Bumped and bruised
and knocked down he grew angry and lashed out.
Our thoughts and feelings are not our humanity. The soul
of Hitler rose to the occasion and held nothing back. God asks nothing more
than everything.
Few men bother. No man is righteous for his apathy. Good
is never a lack of evil. For all his
murders and mayhem Adolf Hitler did strive to make things better.
To murder one or millions by act or omission is all the
same evil. The crimes of Hitler are no worse in the eyes of God than when David
murdered the Hittite.
Adolf Hitler did not die in his bunker in AD 1945. He
escaped to Argentina by the grace of God. Jesus holds the keys to hell and
death—and he does not share them. Adolf would live until he was redeemed. His
death would be the end of his mortality and all its failings.
