Atheist “Mega Churches’” Global  Phenomenon

Does Milgram’s Obedience Study Show that if People can shed off Responsibility for their actions they can hurt and even kill people? Such as what happened During the Holocaust?
When we look at history, it is made up nations and many events that occurred within those nations. Within these nations, the leadership changes, borders can change. We have to pay attention to our history, in our nation and every nation. We can learn by taking a look at what took place in Germany. In his book Bonhoeffer Pastor, Martyr, Prophet, Spy, Eric Metaxas details the life of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and how he responded to the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Church’s involvement in the events. He wanted to make sure the Jews weren’t persecuted.
Looking at the atrocities that resulted in 11 million people exterminated in World War II, including 6 million Jews, it brings us to a controversial study done in 1963, by a Yale University psychologist Stanley Milgram. Milgram set out to seek and understand how the soldiers in Hitler’s army could validate the killing of 11 million people and what occurred that convinced one to make the decisions that defied human conscience of another life. Termed as the “Milgram Experiment”, according to wikepedia.org Milgram designed an experiment that involved three individuals, “teacher”, “learner” and “experimenter”. The “teacher” would present questions to a “student” who was in another room. Sounds simple enough. But, when a wrong answer was given, the “teacher” would administer electric shock to the “student” beginning with 15 volts of shock, to the extreme of 450 volts of shock. With each wrong answer, the voltage increased. Throughout the experiment, the “experimenter” would counsel the “teacher” to continue. Milgram summarized that 60-65% of those who administered the testing went to the full end of the testing.
How are we different from what occurred in the 60’s? In what ways are we the same? As we look at today’s age of society, there is such an accepted practice of violence and the brutal imagery of death that is broadcasted across our society, whether through video games or television. Would the results be the same, or would more people justify the fullness of completing the experiment? Another finding that Milgram revealed to the public eye was how individuals justify such action when the responsibility of actions committed can be passed on to their superior. “I was just doing my job”, “I was just doing what I was told to do”, and “I was just carrying out my orders”.
If we, as the Church, ever find ourselves in such a situation, we must first apply these realities to what God expects of us. If the commands of men ever contradict the commands of God, we must be willing to accept the consequences of men knowing that we will have to stand alone before a Holy and Righteous God when we answer alone for what we have done in this life.
When we look back and see how the events ultimately resulted in the end of Hitler’s reign over Germany, it is vital to see how the Church initially set out in response to Hitler’s actions. The first thing the Church did was undo what God said, the Word of God. Those who called themselves “the Church” merged with the national church. They surmised that they would “just work through this”. The reality is this; anytime you depart from God, it doesn’t end well. Be empowered and encouraged as you walk out just a few of the sequence of events within Germany’s history during World War II, how to be empowered as a believer in this pressing times, and so much more.

Milgram's Study: Can Shedding Responsibility Lead to Harm, Mirroring Holocaust Actions?

Greg and Pat discuss the importance of understanding semantics when words matter especially when words are thrown out regarding Israel.  You can say something in so many different ways; semantics matter.  So many words in the Bible have been taken captive.  Right not we need to know the meaning of words that are being used around the world.  For instance they talk about what the word hegemony and what it means.   This is a word that is being used and we don’t even know what the word means.  It means to rule the world; to have complete control of the world.  This is what Hitler wanted; it is what the caliphate is all about.  They continue to discuss and question as to why things are not being said the way they truly are and how important it is for Christians to speak things the way they are.   We must talk plainly.  There are those who want world domination.  They continue to discuss what was written by Jeff Goldberg in the “Bloomberg View” regarding what the President conveyed to him.  “President Barack Obama will tell him (P.M. Netanyahu) that his country could face a bleak future — one of international isolation and demographic disaster — if he refuses to endorse a U.S.-drafted framework agreement for peace with the Palestinians.”  The President allegedly predicted a bleak future for Israel if she did not agree to the Palestinian peace agreement.    All the while in times pass Secretary John Kerry warned Israel of another intifada.   Israel was threatened with the extinction of its race.  They continue to discuss how much of what we are seeing unfold on the global scene does not make sense to most but it does make sense to those who are using Alinsky tactics to bring these events to pass.  There is no true agenda but the ultimate agenda.  Our only hope is God especially from those who try to control and manipulate.  It’s important to understand what is being said especially when they are using words like hegemony which means ruling the world.  They continue to share what Prophet Chuck Pierce said regarding how the root of racism is found in anti-Semitism.   If we don’t deal with anti- Semitism we can’t break racism in our country.  What we are seeing is nothing more than Saul Alinksy tactics of which he wrote about in his book Rules for Radicals, right now it’s all about pushing bipolar narratives.  We are seeing right before our own eyes the world being organized.  They encourage not giving up standing up for the truth.  30314HL - 5

Greg, John, and Pat have a discussion about America: how we got here and how do we stay here?  We need to get educated.  One nation under God, because the Bible of God and the God of the Bible was made known to men. America just didn’t happen it has a history.  All throughout history there have been kings and kingdoms.  God is the one who establishes all authority even kings.  Americans have been guilty of having one foot in one kingdom and the other foot in another.  Conservatives have been happy to make America their kingdom.  It’s God and country and not country and God.  We are headed to a caliphate, tyranny and ultimately bondage.  The question is how did we get here?  How did we get to the King James Bible which represents the Word of God in the hands of every man?  What it represents is more important than what some people have made of this version itself.  There were some key events and key King James VI of Scot & of England and Ireland people in history that went down a direction that caused certain events to unfold that have had profound affects to the church and America even to this day.  A Queen Mary I of Scot good starting place is with Queen Mary of Scots who was King James the VI of Scots and King James I of England and Ireland mother.  Kings   James would eventually be the one to sponsor the 1611 King James Bible.  Prior to his rule his mother Queen Mary of Scots ruled Scots.  Queen Mary I of Scots was eventually lured by the church of the day and eventually arrested and imprisoned as they tried to shame her for adultery and the choices she made regarding her husbands.  She was imprisoned in Loch Haven Castle, never to see her son King James VI again.  During her imprisonment she was forced to abdicate her throne as Mary, Queen of the Scots to her infant son.  King James assumed and was named King of the Scots July 24, 1567 at 13 months.  His care was entrusted to the Earl and Countess of Mar in Stirling Castle.    King James’ upbringing was paramount to what would happen later in his life.  They raised him and brought him up as a Protestant not a Catholic.  There was a religious war between Catholics and Protestants and whether the Pope should be over the King and the church verses the King being over the church.  The Protestants were defined as denying the universal authority of the Pope and affirming the reformation principles of justification by faith alone, the priesthood of all believers, and the primacy of the Bible as the only source of revealed truth” and more broadly, to  mean
Elizabeth I Queen of England Christianity outside “of an Orthodox or Catholic church.”  Several tutors were sought out to train and develop King James into a God fearing, Protestant King who accepted the limitations of monarchy.
