Salvation in government action

[KevinThrowe]

Seeing the reports on the anniversary of the German death camps , it made me wonder how God sees the guilt of these crimes population of a nation due to the actions of their government. Few would argue that most workers at the death camps knew what was happening. Did they all get sent to hell for their part in the killings. Since most Germans did not know the truth where did their souls land in the judgment? With America becoming a nation of crimes against humanity where will the divide between salvation and damnation be?

The divide between salvation and damnation is the Cross of Christ.

All sins can be forgiven accept the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.

The questions is, "what did they do with Christ?" The entire world will be judged on that question.

Quite vague don’t you think. The reports on the camps told of acts that would have the person know what had taken place logic would have them guilty of the sin . Sister Ellen taught us in Sunday school that to see and know a sin is to be guilty of the sin.

Kind of vague isn’t that?
If I watch someone else rob a bank, that makes me their accomplice?
There would require some aiding and abetting.

But this is more about the activities that assist. If you did not call the cops or testify it changes the legal status.
Consider the men who drug the bodies to the crematoriums
The American pilots who know the lack of due process.
As opposed to Germany we know what our leader is doing illegally.

I’m not willing to be someone else’s judge on the matter. Do you think that you should be an accomplice if you don’t call the police. Is there not any such thing as an innocent bystander?
As far as Germany in the 30’s and 40’s, not only is there really no one left to judge, there is also a severe lack of knowledge about any individual in Germany to be able to have any kind of fair opinion.
But God is not lacking this knowledge. He will judge everyone according to his own work.

But you’re right in the one area. I don’t disagree.
James 4:17
Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Do you not see a possibility that a government does so much bad in the name of Christianity that it has an affect on the souls of the populace?
