Hitler seems to have believed in some kind of ill-defined "providence" but was not anything like an orthodox Christian of any stripe. Richard Steigmann-Gall argues that what Hitler was actually trying to do was to Arianize Christianity. That meant getting rid of the Jewish origins of Christianity and re-casting it in a Germanic mold, while still keeping much that was/is familiar. For all practical purposes Hitler seems to have been an atheist. He used religion as a unifying force but didn't really believe in anything definite or concrete.

Pax.

"It is wrong to make anything a condition of fellowship which is not essential to salvation. We draw the line here. That which will damn a soul and separate us in the next world should divide us in this; nothing else should. " - FD Srygley (1856-1900)

And I've never understood why.  It seems more reasonable to be against the Italians.

Suffering for your beliefs is called faithfulness, making others suffer for your beliefs is called being a jerk.

His cross, like the ark in the wilderness, is the center around which his people are to encamp; so that they cannot separate into factions, or withdraw from each other, without retiring at the same time from the presence of the cross.

Trivia regarding the swastika. It is also found in Native American culture and was used as a unit symbol on some US aircraft in The War to End All Wars.

Their is neither Jew nor Greek in the Christ. Galatians 3:28 How does that make the risen Christ, who fulfilled all the law given to the Jews by paying the price for their transgressions and is now head over the ekklesia of believers, a Jew?    Pondering  Matthew 5:17, Hebrews 9:14-15, Ephesians 5:23

He was born a Jew under the law given to Moses. Does he maintain Judaism as a Jew, today, since his ascension, to the right side of God with all power in heaven and earth?

In Zechariah chapter 14, it describes Jesus coming back and setting foot on the Mount of Olives and reigning from Jeruselum. And.........
Zec 14:16  Then everyone who survives of all the nations that have come against Jerusalem shall go up year after year to worship the King, the LORD of hosts, and to keep the Feast of Tabernacles.

Yep, I've seen that.  Though, to be fair, I don't actually think it's the theology (at least as I've heard it presented) as much as it is that people who already have such an inclination are further entrenched in their views (this has far more often than not been the case in what I've observed).

And here I thought it was because of Protestantism.

I should have said "Replacement Theology HAS bred............" Currently it is not contributing much, but the damage was done in the Centuries around and following Constantine"s era.
