What would happen to a Nazi murderer who believed in J-sus before he died? Would he go to heaven, while the Jewish men, women and children he killed, many of whom were G-d fearing people, would go to hell?
Based on the teaching of the Hebrew Bible, if the Nazi could truly repent before he dieed, then G-d would accept him as righteous, but merely “believing” without true repentance is meaningless.
This one is particulary interesting following (as it does) 1.10 where Brown just told you that your wonderful grandmother who was loving and a good Jew is going to hell beause she doesn't believe in J-sus.
Now he tells us Nazis will go to heaven if they repent and turn to J-sus.
And people wonder why I don't want to be a Xian! This is a just, compassionate god as Brown just told us in 1.10???
So, what is it Dr. Brown – is it believing in J-sus that saves – or is it repentance (as the rabbis tell us)?
The question isn’t Nazis who realized their guilt and repented to G-d, but rather those who called themselves Xians their entire lives – went to Xian churches as they killed innocent women, children and old men – and continued on in their evil ways. Here are a few pictures for Dr. Brown of Xian Nazis in church:
Here is Hitler leaving a Xian church. Do you suppose Brown thinks he repented and went to heaven since he was a Xian? Do you think Brown pictures my dearly departed mother as roasting in hell, good woman that she was?
Nazis in church -- I suppose all of them are in Brown's version of heaven now?
And lest some folk here say we're confusing Catholics with "real" Xians lets have a few quotes from Baptists who supported the Nazis:
If anyone can lay claim to G-d's help, then it is Hitler, for without G-d's benevolent fatherly hand, without his blessing, the nation would not be where it stands today. It is an unbelievable miracle that G-d has bestowed on our people." [Evangelical Minister Rust, in a speech to a mass meeting of German Chrstians on June 29, 1933 [Helmreich, Ernst Christian, "The German Churches Under Hitler," Wayne State University Press, 1979, p. 138]
Page 40:
If by “believing in J-sus” you simply mean, “believing that he is the L-rd and Savior,” then that Nazi would be judged for his sins and condemned to hell. If however, by “believing in J-sus” you mean putting his trust in the L-rd J-sus to cleanse him from his sin and guilt, repudiating his evil deeds with his whole heart and turning to G-d in true repentance asking for mercy and pardon, then he would be forgiven.”
So apparently in 1.10 believing in J-sus was the only way to be saved since you are a sinner by birth. Now in 1.11 you need to repent, sin no more, and put your whole heart in G-d (and J-sus). Hmmm. Sounds just like Judaism except for the J-sus part.
So why exactly do you need J-sus? If just believing in J-sus isn’t enough – and the Torah tells us that we merely need to repent, turn to G-d and be good people then what purpose does J-sus serve? Brown quotes 1 Kings 21:27-29, 2 Chronicles 33:6 and 9-13, as well as Ezekiel 18:30-32 and 33:11-16 all of which indeed tells us to repent, trust in G-d’s righteousness, etc. all without the need of demi-gods dying on crosses.
When juxtasuppsoed with the previous entry Brown's comments on who gets saved and who doesn't take on a very disgusting tone.
