Ws the holocaust Gods punishment of the Jews??
Many say that because of the Jews rejecting Jesus and insist he be crucified that God punished them in the Holocaust (I do not believe this but welcome comments)
Just as many gentiles died in Hitler's death camps, mainly Christians as Jews did, so then God was killing gentiles and not just Jews explain that. Explain that Tony
Records show that at least of the six million Jewish people murdered in the death camps of which another 7 million of them were gentiles
I believe that there is a lack of understanding of Jesus' death. He died for our sins, including that of the Jewish people. In fact, the Jews are his special people the people of the Book so why on earth would God sit back and allow all of his beloved people to be murdered by a beast like Hitler Without Jesus's death there would be no resurrection. Without his death, there's no new covenant. It doesn't matter who God used to facilitate Jesus' death. It was ordained and to say that God then punishes the people he ordained to kill Jesus in the most horrific way is to give God the character of Satan and not that of a holy merciful Almighty God
Look at it this way, if you murder someone and 2000 years later all your ancestors, who know nothing about you or how you lived your life, are put to death in a most hideous way possible, for something you did 2000 years ago, is that just and fair?
Satan was not created evil, in Ezekiel, God says of him you were perfect in all your ways until sin was found in you.
“You were the anointed cherub who covers;
I established you;
You were on the holy mountain of God;
You walked back and forth in the midst of fiery stones.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day you were created,
Till iniquity was found in you.
Why did God have to wait until 1945 years almost 2000 years after Jesus death on the cross, and only then punish the Jews woman, such as little children, babies, men old men and old woman, who knew nothing about Jesus and could not be held accountable for a sin done by their ancestors 2000 years ago.
Is that the just God of the Bible, no it is more like Satan than God to murder people for no reason at all? A just God would have killed those living at the time or just after the time, who knew about Jesus and their responsibility for his crucifixion
Well then God had it wrong seeing as Christ was crucified by the Romans. Not to mentioned according to the Bible Christ's sole purpose on Earth was to live a sin free life and die for the sins of all mankind so it seems sort of silly to punish anyone for what was supposed to happen
Actually, both the Jews and Romans are responsible for the crucifixion of Christ. You can't just put the blame on one party. The Romans were the one to physically perform the acts of abuse on Christ, but devout followers of Judaism had a heavy influence on Christ's death
The fact is that God sent Jesus to die for humanities sins so that they through his spilled Blood they could be forgiven their sins. Makes no sense for him to have sent punishment upon the Jews when God himself sent Christ here to die for all. We are all equally guilty of Jesus’s death on the cross, 50% gentile namely the Romans and the other 505 Jews.
Neither Jews nor Christian ideals produced the Holocaust. Those murders were generated by the same perversion of human nature that the Holy Scriptures depict, beginning in the Book of Genesis. Cain turned on his own brother and became the first murderer.
And while the Jewish people have been singled out more often for genocide than any other people, they are by no means the only group of people to be methodically murdered. Consider the “ethnic cleansing,” the systematic rape and murder of the Bosnian people perpetrated in the 1990s. No, genocide neither began nor ended with Hitler and the Jewish people.
However, if Jesus' and his disciples' claims are true, that he came to die for the wrongdoing of all humanity both Jews and Gentiles Then all of us have a part in the death of Jesus, collectively and individually. Not a message most of us want to hear, but one that was articulated even before the time of Jesus, by the prophet Isaiah, who wrote of one who would be ". “pierced through for our transgressions” “crushed for our iniquities” the chastening for our well-being fell upon Him and by His scourging we are healed" (Isaiah 53:5).
