I've been thinking about the stark contrast between Christianity and Nazism, yet I've noticed that some people seem to conflate the two. One promotes love, forgiveness, and humility, while the other is rooted in hatred, domination, and prejudice.

Context: One prays, the other preys.

How is it possible for individuals to draw parallels between these two ideologies? Could it be due to historical misinterpretations, propaganda, or a misunderstanding of faith itself? I'd love to hear your thoughts on this confusing juxtaposition.

What examples can you share that highlight these misconceptions?

How can we better educate others on the true message of Christianity in light of such conflation?

What role do you think social media plays in perpetuating these misunderstandings?

Looking forward to a thoughtful discussion!

I must say that I have never heard or read anybody conflating biblical Christianity with Naziism. I imagine you must have come across such a conflation, or you wouldn't have written your post. How did the sources) you saw conflate the two?

I haven’t been going to church in a while. I feel like it’s boring. I find myself daydreaming and the sermons are good, but I really don’t like to sing or stand up. I like just saying prayers and even though the sermons are good, I don’t feel like going. I’m not really getting anything out of the Bible study, either, which is online. When I do go to church, I do tithe.
Am I falling away or is this not the right church for me? The people are nice.

I think it's because with most churches we are receiving men's word over God's word. I just don't see the point in personal sermons written by men. I want my church to strictly stick to teaching God's Word.

Fellowship is fine with like minded believers but I guess it depends on the reason you want to go.

There is.

King James Bible
O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: 1 Timothy 6:20.

But the word translated "science" in the KJV is the Greek word "gnosis," which means "knowledge." Indeed, in 28 of the 29 times it occurs, it is translated "knowledge" in the KJV. Gnosis does not refer to what we call science - Physics, biology, chemistry and so on.

Besides, the verse you quote does not say that all knowledge is wrong, just that some knowledge is false knowledge. Often the Greek word gnosis is used in a good way. For example, in Simeon' song:

“76 “And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Highest; For you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways, 77 To give knowledge of salvation to His people By the remission of their sins,” (Lu 1:76-77 NKJV)

Based on 1 Corin 11

1 Corinthians 11:28-30 KJV
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.
30 For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.

I have seen a trend with these, not too long ago a man set a woman on fire, and claimed he was drinking, and that he has a drinking problem.

What does this have anything to do with these murders?

Yes, but JW's still refuse blood transfusions.

Sorry but I think you must have misunderstood me. I know that Jehovah's Witnesses refuse blood transfusions. All I was saying was that they do so, not because of a bible command, but because they misinterpret what the bible says about eating blood.

Scripture states that the sun rises and sets.
Flat earthers deny the Scripture and claim that the sun only appears to rise and set.
Flat earthers do not accept Scripture.

Nah, it's based on evidence. As all scientific theories are.

You have every right to be sad that your opinions and facts aren't consistent.

The US discussion about this is wild, one would come to believe that it is the rule not the exception with hormonal (both puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones) and/or surgical interventions. Where I live it is mainly therapy and providing a safe environment (some would probably characterize it as affirming). Puberty blockers are not routinely prescribed.

That honestly sounds like a healthier alternative to me.

Not the shooting, no... but how did the guardsmen get there? Who ordered their deployment? The president did, yes?

Scientists disagree.

What Do We Mean By Sex and Gender?

As we pursue our work at Women's Health Research at Yale, it is particularly important to use language that captures the different concepts of sex and gender so

As I have pointed out a bunch of times already, minors aren't getting that kind of surgery, so you can stop being worried about it.

As I stated before, I’m not going to defend the president over all his actions. He has been wrong plenty of times before despite me voting for him.

But no. Trump did not cause this. No.

It’s based on a theory if anything. If adults feel that way, good for them, I don’t care.

And as I said, just leave minors alone. They aren’t mature enough.

Adults can make their own decisions.

Is that not fair?

If nobody can see and feel the things about Islam that I do, then all I can say is that maybe I have inherited some epigenetic effects from an ancestor who saw Islam *exactly* the same way I do, and so my DNA is pushing me into protection-mode, which was prepared for me, should the exact same neuronal firing sequence take place again.

I'm sure my ancestors fought beside the Habsburgs, during the battles of Kobolkut, as well as the Battle of Vienna, and I'm sure of it, because it's my ancestral homeland, and I exist - so I must come from the survivors of that.

Pray like your life depended on it. Pray for their conversion and salvation.
