00:01 - The discovery of Auschwitz was like a bucket of cold water
00:03 in the face of Western civilization. 00:06 We suddenly realized, 00:07 hey, this isn't somebody else who did this. 00:10 This was a civilized industrial technological nation. 00:13 And yet they managed to do something so horrible 00:16 that two generations later, 00:17 we still haven't come to terms with this. 00:20 Today on Authentic I'm afraid 00:22 I'm gonna confirm your worst fears because 00:24 you and I had more to do 00:26 with what happened there than we might want to admit. 00:31 [upbeat music] 00:51 When the Nazis first said about the task 00:53 of trying to purify the bloodlines of Germany. 00:57 Nobody was talking about death camps, not in the beginning. 00:59 That was something that emerged later under 01:02 a program they called The Final Solution. 01:06 What they talked about in the beginning, 01:07 say around the year 1933 was trying to create a situation 01:12 where the Jewish population would suddenly feel unwelcome 01:15 and make their own decision to leave. 01:18 And the way they tried to make that happen 01:20 was by creating two classes of German citizens. 01:23 You had those with reliable German ancestry, 01:27 and then everybody else. 01:29 The way they were thinking was that 01:31 anybody could live in Germany, 01:33 but not everybody 01:35 could exercise the full rights of citizenship. 01:38 So what they did was passed something called 01:40 the Nuremberg Laws. 01:42 Where Jews and other groups they thought of as undesirable 01:45 were suddenly relegated to a second class status. 01:49 And while there were three things 01:51 these laws actually implemented, 01:52 there were two in particular designed to make 01:55 Jews feel unwelcome. 01:58 Number one, you had to be a member of the German people 02:01 to be a citizen of the Reich. 02:03 And number two, it suddenly became illegal 02:07 for Germans to marry members of other races. 02:10 Let me just put the wording of these laws on the screen 02:12 because they're so brief 02:14 we can pretty much quote them in full. 02:16 This comes from the second part of this new citizenship law. 02:19 It read "a Reich citizen is exclusively a national 02:23 "of German blood, or racially related blood, 02:26 "who demonstrates through his conduct 02:28 "that he is willing and suited to faithfully serve 02:30 "the German Volk and Reich." 02:33 Then you get this just a couple of sentences later. 02:36 It says "The Reich citizen is the sole bearer 02:39 "of full political rights, 02:41 "to be exercised according to the measure of the laws." 02:46 So now you suddenly had two classes of people 02:49 living in the German Republic. 02:50 You had full citizens who enjoyed all the rights 02:53 and privileges of the nation 02:54 and you had partial citizens who did not. 02:57 And it was all based race. 03:00 And as if that wasn't bad enough, they passed another law 03:04 in an effort to make sure the two groups 03:06 stayed away from each other. 03:07 Here's what that law said. 03:10 "Marriages between Jews and nationals of German blood 03:13 "or racially related blood are forbidden. 03:16 "If such marriages are nevertheless entered into 03:19 "they are null and void, 03:20 "even if they are concluded abroad 03:22 "in order to evade this law." 03:26 Of course, the whole thing is absolutely horrific. 03:29 Particularly when you read it from our side of history 03:32 because we know full well where that policy ended. 03:37 What they called the definitive solution 03:40 back in the very beginning 03:41 eventually became the final solution 03:43 where human beings 03:45 were actually being slaughtered wholesale. 03:48 It's completely mind-boggling that this actually happened 03:52 not at some point in the very distant past 03:55 but within the last 100 years. 04:00 But here's the part that most people don't remember 04:02 and this is a big deal. 04:04 This is something we should know, but we don't. 04:07 When Hitler was preaching about keeping Germany pure 04:10 he occasionally pointed to the United States of America 04:14 as an example of how this could be done. 04:17 Now in case you think I'm making this up 04:19 let me read you a key passage from "Mein Kampf" 04:21 and well you might want to buckle your seatbelt 04:23 because this is pretty bad. 04:25 Hitler is complaining 04:27 that foreigners are watering down the German population 04:30 and he insists that part of the problem 04:32 is that outsiders are given the same rights 04:35 as born and bred Germans. 04:37 So how could this be different he asks. 04:39 Well you create two classes of people. 04:42 Those who merely occupied German soil 04:44 but are disenfranchised. 04:46 And those who have all the rights 04:48 that belong to the German people. 04:50 So how could we do that he asks. 04:52 Here's what he said in 1927. 04:55 "There is today one state in which 04:58 "at least weak beginnings toward a better conception 05:01 "are noticeable, 05:02 "of course it's not our model German Republic 05:05 "but the American union 05:07 "in which an effort is made to consult reason 05:10 "at least partially 05:11 "by refusing immigration on principle 05:13 "to elements in poor health, 05:15 "by simply excluding certain races from naturalization. 05:19 "It professes in slow beginnings 05:21 "of view which is peculiar to the Volkish state concept." 05:26 Now admittedly, it would be a stretch 05:28 to suggest that the United States and Germany were 05:32 actually on the very same page at this point in history, 05:34 because in many fundamental ways, they really weren't. 05:39 But the same time, as painful as this is to admit 05:44 the ideas that eventually gave birth to Auschwitz 05:47 absolutely were in play during the latter part 05:50 of the 19th century 05:52 and all the way up to the 1920s right here in America. 05:56 There's just no way to simply excuse ourselves 05:59 from the table and say this never happened, because it did. 06:03 I mean, let's just begin with the immigration policies 06:06 that America passed. 06:07 Once they realized that the American dream 06:10 was appealing to people other than those 06:11 who had Northern European heritage. 06:15 Up to the mid 1800s most of the immigrants 06:18 who made their way to the new world came from England, 06:21 or Germany, or some other nation 06:23 whose culture and background was pretty much similar. 06:27 But then we suddenly had waves of Irish immigrants 06:30 in the wake of the great famine. 06:32 And there were settlers coming from Eastern 06:34 and Southern Europe, which meant that the melting pot 06:38 of America actually had to become a melting pot, 06:41 because a greater variety of cultures 06:43 was suddenly showing up. 06:45 And so while the American constitution 06:47 officially preached equality for all. 06:49 We had lawmakers creating legal workarounds, 06:53 designed to keep the new foreigners 06:55 from actually obtaining citizenship 06:57 with things like well literacy tests. 07:01 And of course after the civil war, 07:04 we had a number of Midwest States 07:06 suddenly passed laws designed to keep freed slaves 07:09 from moving and settling in their midst. 07:12 Then starting with the gold rush in California, 07:15 and the building of trans continental railroads. 07:18 Chinese immigration boomed to the point 07:20 where president Arthur signed the 07:22 Chinese Exclusion Act of 1882, 07:25 which forbid more Chinese immigration. 07:29 In other words America had race-based legislation 07:34 designed to create two tiers of citizenship here in America. 07:38 Add to that the way that the native population 07:42 was continually displaced and marginalized 07:44 by Westward Expansion. 07:46 And you suddenly had something that Hitler could point to 07:49 and say, wow America job well done. 07:53 In fact, he deliberately admired the way 07:56 that the native population of North America was treated. 07:59 And he insisted that all he was doing in Germany 08:03 was creating a Homeland for Germans through expansion. 08:07 The same way that America was creating a home 08:09 for it's new settlers in the West. 08:13 After the white man had shot down the millions of reds skins 08:16 to a few hundred thousand. 08:20 Then you have this 08:21 this again comes from "Mein Kampf" 08:24 "The racially pure and still unmixed German 08:27 "has risen to become master of the American continent, 08:31 "and he will remain the master, 08:32 "as long as he does not fall victim to racial pollution." 08:38 Look, I know this is kind of embarrassing. 08:41 But this really happened, 08:42 and we have no choice but to admit it. 08:46 And then if you can imagine this, it gets even worse. 08:50 So you're not gonna wanna go anywhere 08:51 I'll be right back after this to show you how that might be. 08:57 - [Narrator] Dragons, beasts, cryptic statues. 09:01 Bible prophecy can be incredibly vivid and confusing. 09:05 If you've ever read Daniel or revelation

century 09:28 people's imaginations were abuzz 09:30 with the potential of human technology. 09:33 I mean, the advancements of the last few decades 09:36 had been astonishing. 09:37 We were automating work and inventing new machines 09:40 and traveling further and faster than we ever had before. 09:44 We were brimming with confidence 09:46 because the sky seemed like the limit. 09:49 And there was a new idea 09:50 that had shown up in the world of science. 09:54 The idea that human beings were the product of evolution. 09:57 Survival of the fittest is how Herbert Spencer put it 10:00 after reading Darwin's origin of species. 10:04 Somehow they said life on planet earth 10:05 was progressing upward 10:07 and getting better with each generation. 10:09 The process of evolution preferred positive genetic changes 10:13 the ones that favored survival, 10:15 and over time humans were going to get better, 10:18 and stronger, and smarter, and faster. 10:21 But what would happen they said 10:23 if we were to take our new found love for science 10:26 and actually help evolution along? 10:29 I mean, we were already breeding plants and animals 10:31 to weed out undesirable traits 10:34 and promote advantageous ones. 10:36 So what if we could do that with people? 10:41 Now, my guess is you didn't hear much about this in school. 10:44 But up through the 1920s, 10:47 the idea of scientifically breeding a better race of humans 10:51 was actually all the rage. 10:53 They called it Eugenics 10:54 which is a compound Greek word 10:56 that literally means well born. 10:59 And we made a science out of trying to guess 11:02 which people were the fittest of our species 11:04 so that we could breed them 11:06 and solve the problem of disease. 11:11 Now, I know that sounds like a dystopian nightmare, 11:13 the kind of thing that 11:14 makes for a horrific science fiction novel, 11:17 but this is absolutely true. 11:19 We openly talked about weeding out people 11:21 we thought were "feeble-minded" 11:24 the dregs of society that perpetually lived in poverty. 11:29 We actually had contests like the 11:31 Better Baby Contest at the 1911 Iowa State Fair, 11:35 and the Fitter Families for Future Firesides Contest 11:39 at the Kansas State Fair in the 1920s. 11:42 These were kind of like 4H competitions 11:46 but for human beings. 11:48 And we actually conducted studies 11:51 and developed algorithms 11:52 for breeding a superior race of people. 11:56 Man, I wish I was kidding, but this stuff is true. 12:00 So imagine how that appealed 12:03 to a rising group of totalitarians in Germany 12:06 who were poised to blame ethnic groups 12:09 for all their problems. 12:12 The tragic fact of history 12:14 is that American and German Eugenesis 12:17 were communicating regularly 12:19 in the first part of the 20th century. 12:21 They were sharing their discoveries 12:23 and sharing their enthusiasm for selective human breeding. 12:30 Now, of course it's possible to prove too much here 12:33 because there were also some key differences 12:35 between the Third Reich and the American Republic. 12:39 But in hindsight, it's also impossible to deny 12:43 that this country exerted an unmistakable influence 12:48 that helped the Nazis formulate their policies. 12:52 Now that doesn't mean that America is to blame 12:55 for the death camps, by any stretch of the imagination 12:58 because we did after all help put an end to those things. 13:02 But it does mean that misguided ideas 13:06 can act like viruses infecting the people around us 13:10 long before they ever reach their logical conclusion. 13:15 The American constitution was a historical miracle 13:19 a legal and political Marvel that guaranteed rights 13:22 and Liberty for absolutely everybody. 13:26 But when it came to living those principles, we blew it. 13:30 I mean for starters, 13:31 even though we knew that slavery was wrong 13:34 and a direct violation of the principles 13:36 we were enshrining in law 13:39 we refuse to deal with it. 13:41 They kicked the can down the road 13:42 until a bloody civil war became the answer. 13:45 It was Justice Thurgood Marshall who said the constitution 13:50 "was defective from the start, requiring several amendments, 13:53 "a civil war and momentous social transformation 13:56 "to attain its respect for the individual freedoms 14:00 "and human rights, that we hold as fundamental today." 14:05 In other words, we might've said it, 14:08 but we weren't living it. 14:10 Which brings me to another really painful topic. 14:13 And that's well, the history of my own Christian Church. 14:16 Here, we have a book 14:19 that exhibits the highest moral standards known to humanity. 14:23 We have the teachings of Jesus 14:24 which even the harshest skeptic 14:27 has to admit are cut above the moral teachings 14:30 of anybody else. 14:32 We have instructions on how to care for the poor 14:35 and the sick and the afflicted. 14:37 We are told to love others the way we love ourselves. 14:42 And yet what we have is a 2000 year record 14:45 of abysmal behavior on the part of the church. 14:50 The problem was succinctly summarized by Mahatma Gandhi 14:53 who was hurt by Christians who treated him badly 14:56 during his young years in South Africa. 15:00 He said this 15:01 "I like your Christ. 15:02 "I do not like your Christians. 15:04 "Your Christians are so unlike your Christ." 15:08 Now I can respond to that thought in two ways. 15:12 I could try to argue that he's wrong. 15:14 That Christians are misunderstood. 15:16 That what he said was an unfair assessment. 15:20 But unfortunately I've read too much history to do that. 15:23 So I've got a different response as embarrassing as it is 15:27 what he says is absolutely true. 15:31 Over the last 2000 years 15:33 the Christian Church has been anything but Christlike. 15:37 And if you stick around, I'm gonna come back from the break 15:40 and I'll give you some specifics. 15:42 I'll just admit this stuff to you. 15:45 I'll be right back. 15:48 - [Instructor] Life can throw a lot at us. 15:50 Sometimes we don't have all the answers 15:53

call and start your journey of discovery. 16:17 - There's A humble group of Christians 16:18 living in the Northern reaches of Italy, 16:20 way up in the mountains. 16:22 And they've been there a really really long time. 16:25 They're known as the Waldenses. 16:27 and their origins are something of a mystery. 16:31 Now, if I had a little more time today 16:32 I'd tell you where I think they come from 16:35 but I've already done that in a little inexpensive book. 16:37 You can get a copy of it's called "A Pale Horse Rides." 16:40 And man, you can go get a copy 16:42 by visiting vop.com and checking out the store. 16:46 In the middle ages though 16:47 the Waldenses were known for making copies of the Bible 16:51 and distributing them all over Western Europe. 16:53 The problem was that the official church of the day 16:56 had made that activity illegal. 16:59 Now I know it seems unbelievable 17:01 to us that practicing Christians could make Bibles illegal 17:04 but honestly, that's the way it was. 17:08 You see the church had been married to the state a long time 17:11 previously in the wake of the emperor Constantine, 17:15 and the church sincerely felt they had to reign in 17:17 any independent thinking in order to secure their grip 17:20 on all the European States. 17:22 So what the Waldensians were doing by copying the Bible 17:26 and handing it out was very risky 17:29 and they were forced to do it undercover. 17:32 So that they posed as traveling merchant 17:34 selling luxury items from the far East door to door, 17:37 things like silk and pearls. 17:40 And then they would find someone 17:42 they thought might be interested in the copy of the Bible 17:44 and they would risk their lives 17:46 to share the gospel with that person. 17:50 These people were so wildly successful in this mission 17:52 that before long Waldenses had so many converts 17:56 that their missionaries 17:57 could travel all the way from Cologne Germany in the North, 18:00 to Florence Italy in the South. 18:02 And they could stay in the house of a Waldensian convert 18:04 every single night. 18:06 Man, that is a distance of more than 700 miles. 18:09 And they did this all on foot. 18:13 Now that drove the official church crazy 18:17 because the Waldensians were also teaching things 18:19 that were well radically different 18:21 from the stuff people were hearing 18:22 from the mainstream pulpits of Europe 18:25 back in those days. 18:27 For example the Waldensians had the nerve to teach people 18:30 you could pray in a barn 18:32 just as well as you could pray in a church. 18:34 Now that didn't bode well 18:36 with a state church that had invested huge sums of money 18:39 to build elaborate cathedrals all across the continent. 18:44 The Waldenses also taught 18:45 that a number of official church teachings 18:48 well, couldn't be found in the Bible. 18:50 And they said that expensive pilgrimages 18:53 to visit so-called holy sites 18:55 didn't nothing for you except deplete your savings. 18:59 And they said the relics you saw 19:00 when you got to these places. 19:02 Well they're nothing bit of dead body and rotting flesh. 19:08 They were a simple people who built their doctrines 19:10 on the teachings of the Bible. 19:12 And that drove the official church nuts 19:16 to the point where systematic programs were launched 19:18 to wipe these people out of existence. 19:21 In 1184 at the Senate of Verona 19:23 the Waldensians were formerly ex-communicated. 19:26 In 1487 Innocent The eighth issued a [indistinct] 19:30 calling for their extermination 19:32 and the stories that followed after that. 19:35 Well, they're not for the faint of heart. 19:37 There was the Massacre of Mérindol in 1545 19:41 which completely eradicated a number of Waldensian villages 19:44 and put thousands of people to death. 19:47 There was another massacre in 1655 19:50 when the Duke of Savoy sent his forces out 19:52 to destroy these people. 19:54 Almost 2000 Waldensians were raped, tortured, mutilated 20:00 and finally murdered. 20:01 And it was all done in the name of Christ. 20:05 In 1488, so called Christian armies 20:07 herded Waldensi believers into a cave 20:10 and plugged the opening full of wood 20:13 and suffocated 3000 people to death in the smoke. 20:19 Again, this was all done by professing Christians 20:22 people who claimed they also lived by this book. 20:26 So the question that you and I have to ask is this 20:29 is the problem here with the founding document, 20:33 or is the problem with the people who ignore 20:35 the founding document. 20:36 When it comes to the United States of America 20:38 I've got to admit, I love this country. 20:41 And I waited a long time to become a citizen here. 20:44 I admire the principles of the American constitution. 20:48 I actually believe 20:49 they represent the pinnacle of achievement 20:51 when it comes to recognizing human rights and liberties. 20:55 And yet I'm painfully aware 20:57 of it how far short the practice of those principles 21:00 has been in real life. 21:03 Likewise, I'm a huge fan of this founding document, 21:06 the Bible because I have never found anything else 21:09 that comes close to the ideals presented in these pages. 21:14 But am I going to pretend that Christians have demonstrated 21:16 the character of Christ perfectly? 21:19 Not a chance. 21:20 And I'd have to admit that my own example has been. 21:25 Well, let's just say that I fall 21:26 a long way short of the glory of God. 21:30 If you wanna put modern Christianity 21:32 under a microscope listen, 21:34 you're going to find plenty that doesn't measure up 21:36 to the teachings of the Bible. 21:38 In a lot of ways 21:40 we've become a tragically materialistic church 21:42 that mirrors the culture 21:43 more than it challenges the culture. 21:46 We run our churches like corporations or worse yet, 21:49 like entertainment companies 21:51 that often seem to be more concerned about ratings 21:54 and popularity, than we are about the truth. 21:58 Now here's the really interesting part of all this. 22:01 It's not like the Bible 22:02 didn't anticipate what's happening right now. 22:05 And that's the part that critics don't understand. 22:07 Not only did the Bible set a different standard 22:09 for the followers of Christ. 22:11 It actually anticipated a moment when the church 22:13 would do anything but reveal the character 22:16 of Jesus to the world. 22:18 Just listen to this. 22:19 This comes from the teachings of Paul he writes, 22:23 "But know this, that in the last days 22:25 "perilous times will come. 22:27 "For men will be lovers of themselves, 22:28 "lovers of money, 22:30 "boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, 22:33 "unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, 22:37 "without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, 22:40 "traitors, headstrong, haughty, 22:42 "lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, 22:45 "having a form of godliness but denying its power. 22:49 "and from such people turn away." 22:53 It's a problem that's as old as the Christian Church itself 22:56 a lot of the new Testament in fact, 22:58 was written by a traveling missionary 23:00 who was forced to write copious letters to churches 23:03 who were doing it wrong. 23:06 And some of the sins that Paul mentions 23:08 that were taking place in the church back then 23:11 they would make your hair stand on end. 23:15 So here's the appeal I guess I wanna make to you today. 23:19 And it really boils down to a couple of different things. 23:23 Number one, if you've avoided the church 23:26 because of the way that Christians behave. 23:29 Well, I don't blame you 23:30 but I would encourage you to take another look. 23:34 Not only are there plenty of Christians 23:36 who actually do to the best of their ability 23:39 try to emulate the example of Christ. 23:42 But the whole point of the faith 23:44 of this book is that human beings are tragically flawed. 23:48 And there is only one person who isn't, 23:51 one person who will never let you down. 23:54 And he's the subject of this book. 23:58 Listen, I know the church is full of hypocrites 24:01 and I'd be lying 24:02 if I ever tried to tell you that my example was perfect. 24:05 It's not, not even close. 24:08 But I'm gonna challenge you to have another look right here. 24:11 Because after all 24:14 we do have room for one more hypocrite in the church, 24:16 one more person who's gonna do this wrong. 24:21 Here's my second point. 24:22 And it's to people out there who profess to be Christians. 24:26 Adolf Hitler, and the Third Reich 24:28 were able to look at America and say, see, 24:31 the ideal Republic looks like this. 24:36 But what they were looking at was a gross distortion 24:38 of the nation's founding documents and principles. 24:41 And that distorted image helped give birth 24:44 to an absolute moral monster. 24:46 In fact, the very blight of the 20th century. 24:50 Now that's kind of how it works with the church. 24:53 We might think nobody out there is looking. 24:55 We might think nobody is paying attention 24:58 to the behavior of individual Christians 24:59 but let me assure you, they're watching. 25:02 I can't tell you how many times members of the community 25:04 have told me 25:05 about the stuff going on in the lives 25:07 of church members I know. 25:10 But they watch and it happens. 25:14 So here's what God has done with us. 25:18 He has taken an unimaginable risk by putting his name 25:22 on our lives. 25:23 He plans to have the world look at us 25:25 and see something different. 25:27 But when you and I behave like everybody else 25:30 or maybe even worse, people look at the church and they say 25:34 Oh, that's what God is like. 25:38 And unwittingly you and I give birth 25:40 to countless moral monsters. 25:44 I know I'm using extreme examples to make a point. 25:47 And they say that if you have to bring up the Nazis 25:50 to make your point, 25:51 you've probably already lost the argument 25:53 but this is what I'm gonna stand by. 25:56 We might not be able to earn our salvation 25:58 through our obedience. 26:00 That's clear in the Bible, but God absolutely expects us 26:03 to show the world that we know him well. 26:07 I mean, we put the name Christian on our buildings 26:13 which literally means one who is in Christ. 26:14 So like it or not, you and I are ambassadors of heaven. 26:17 People are going to look at us and say, 26:19 that's what God is like. 26:21 Fair or not people are going to look at you 26:24 when they're trying to figure out 26:26 if they should pay attention 26:27 to the words of this book, I'll be right back. 26:32 - [Interviewer] Here at the Voice

27:06 But I'm still going to suggest that you join me 27:08 in apologizing for this anyway. 27:11 You'll notice when Daniel prays in Daniel chapter nine, 27:14 he uses the word we, we have sinned against you Lord. 27:20 Now he was not personally responsible for what happened 27:22 but he understood what was at stake. 27:24 And he owned the sins of the church 27:26 along with everybody else. 27:28 It is time for you and I to do the same 27:29 apologize for what happened, admit that we did this 27:33 and that it had nothing to do with the teachings of Christ. 27:36 And then we need to get back to the business 27:38 of showing the world what Jesus did teach. 27:42 You'll find in Revelation 14 God's idea for the last days. 27:45 It's a scene where God's people deliver the gospel 27:47 to the whole world and they have God's name 27:50 written in their foreheads. 27:52 It means that they're actually reflecting his character 27:55 and it means there's hope for the church to get it right. 27:59 You and I need to be among those people and get this right 28:04 before Jesus comes. 28:06 I'm Shawn Boonstra. 28:07 This has been Authentic. 28:10 [upbeat music] |
