What Bonhoeffer Would Do Today - Eric Metaxas - Sean Feucht 

One of the best book I have ever read!! If more people read this book they would see where we are heading now!

I have been reading Bonhoffer and it has blown me away

add to your reading list Live Not By Lies by Rod Dreher too! they tell the similar truth and patterns.

Same here. It taught me how to pray.

My husband's younger brother had converted from being a devout Roman Catholic to becoming a man who taught Una Vida con Propósito in his home, a cell group of a big evangelical church. One of the books he read and recommended was the Erick Metaxas biography of Bonhoeffer in Spanish. My brother in law had to consult with his pastor before going off quimiotherapy but his pastor said he knew Moris would see his Savior when he opened his eyes. I watched Erick throughout the plandemic because of Moris' recommendation. What a wise man with a quirky sense of humor. Que Dios me los bendiga a los dos! Sacramento concert, Sean, renewed my belief that California will be saved. I'm a granny but I love your music!

Read Victoria Barnett's spot-on review of Metaxas' Bonhoeffer book (link below). Metaxas' book is utter garbage. Ironically, the kind of Feucht-Metaxas Nationalism (disguised as Christianity) is exactly the kind of thing that led to German Christians legitimization of Hitler. From Victoria Barnett's review: "All of this, however, leads to a selective misreading of Bonhoeffer’s theological development and a profound misunderstanding of what happened to the German churches between 1933 and 1945. The failure of the German Evangelical Church under Nazism was not that it was filled with formalistic, legalistic Lutherans who just needed to form a personal relationship to Jesus, but that it was filled with Christians whose understanding of their faith had so converged with German national culture that it tainted both their politics and their theology.

I have twins in gr 9 now, homeschooled. Gonna get Bonhoeffers books!! Thanks for the great idea

May I recommend you add the hiding place and parallel journeys to that book list. The hiding place is the story of Corrie ten Boom. She is the female Bonhoeffer. Parallel journeys is also about Nazi Germany and shows the story of a Hitler youth. Powerful.

Bonhoeffer is a difficult read, just FYI...very much worth it, but very very thorough and involved.

Marx and Marxism are like the freshly inculturated pandemism part of the Counterreformation. the so-called virus as the next spectre haunting Europe and the world. in the same way basically how Jesus was used. another model to occupy the fantasy of the masses. "the Roman conspiracy to invent Jesus" - the biggest breakthrough in true, authentic conspiracy theory, democratic conspiracy research.

Praise the Lord

a lot, not all, are following the "social justice" gospel rework...it's a shame

I think the pastors are like a lot of men..................they are HOOKED ON PORN !! And think nobody knows...........some of us know.

@@ampavoo Get your own life in line and stop being a farizee

@@GeertKok Hit a nerve, huh.

They are a few out there STANDING and speaking the TRUTH. If, IF, many who are picking and poking through theological differences and fighting against each other, would stop that and UNITE on WHAT is truly important!!!

I find it tragic that the most church leaders Do NOT understand that they ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MORAL FIBER of their flock.

Victoria Degand yes and it is we the church God holds accountable for the culture, not government

Donald Trump was the most evil man our government has ever been infected by. He is a wicked sociopathic conman to the core.

Me too. Eric's book is situated in my bookshelves so I can see Bonhoeffer's face easily as I pass by. A contemporary hero of mine is Rand Paul. P.S. 79 yrs also.

What we really need are God-fearing men. Men who hear from God & who allow God to define for them what their God-given destiny is for them. Not shaped by the world or defined by the world. But who draw their life and breath and revelation from God Himself.

That's how deception works.

There has to be for people to be live the lie.

Metaxas is himself a liar and It's absolutely pathetic that he equates wearing a mask with Christian persecution. It's ironic that Bonhoeffer is the topic of this video considering the support that Sean Feucht has given to his beloved orange Fuhrer. Trump is without a doubt a sociopathic megalomaniac with the same severely narcissistic mental derangement that Hitler had. Trump's demonic nation-poisoning Big Lie effectively radicalized a portion of his pseudo-christian cult followers and turned them into domestic terrorists on Jan 6th.

@@eugenesanders3094 thank you for your voice of reason. The blind hero worship (Emperor worship actually) of Donald Trump and his racist, classist, Nationalism is something Diedrich Bonhoeffer would be warning us of now! And how QAnon conspiracy theories are widely accepted -above even the Word of God- is ungodly AND dangerous. Biblical illiteracy is rampant... he'd be about trying to correct that. Brilliant and brave Christian men like Bonhoeffer are truly rare. Reading his own writings closely give a much fuller picture of who he was and what he was really about accomplishing. Thanks again Eugene.

Ask that God's kingdom come, that His will be done on earth as in heaven.

President Trump is the first President to prioritize the life of the unborn child yet I just saw a suggestion on John Macarthur's site that President Trump is the Antichrist. What???

"Manhood." Yes we have the chaotic feminist spirit running the country.

I just know that Bonhoeffer was a godly man, he wrestled to know how to act in “such dark times” I know he loved the jews (!) I know he was one of the few Christian to take a stand. I deeply miss such voices today… in our, these dark days today….Christians do not seem to realise what’s going on…. this is very painful to me! That’s why I was happy to see there are Christians who do understand…. God bless you!

@@eugenesanders3094 Hi Eugene, lovely day in Switzerland today, been out for a refreshing walk, been thinking of what you wrote… May I share with you some thought?! The bible begins with Creation, then the Fall, the beginning of History of mankind, but then quite soon….we read how God brings out the Israelites of Slavery … brings them in “a homeland”! God, it seems to me. is the author of nations, because through good laws, good governments (ministers= servants, not LORDS)…. a society can, as we were experiencing in my beautiful country, a society can flourish! A human being needs roots and identity, needs a “home” God gives us all that through “our” nation (s)… where we can express our creativity and uniqueness 🇨🇭😅 THE EVIL ONE…. always tries to imitate Gods good gifts for our destruction….as he did by the NaziRegime….by abusing ….national identity…. (nationality). May I use an example to make my point very clear? Sexuality is a wonderful gift of God, but look what the devil has made of it! Terrible! Hope this is helpful! God bless!

Hi Therese, I hope you didn't misunderstand me. I wasn't critiquing Bonhoeffer, but the book about Bonhoeffer by Eric Metaxas. Here in the USA, Sean Feutch & Eric Metaxas have been vocal supporters of our particular sociopathic megalomaniac (Donald Trump). "Christians" like Feucht & Metaxas have done everything they can to legitimize Trump's wickedness, especially when it comes to peddling Trump's demonic nation-poisoning Big Lie about the election. Bonhoeffer would have been very opposed to Trump, I am convinced of that. And Bonhoeffer would have been opposed to the kind of Nationalism in the USA that masquerades as Christianity. "Christian Nationalism" is a false gospel.

@@eugenesanders3094 Hi, Hope you had a good relaxing Sunday! Sunday, what a gift from God 🌈😊 Ah, my dear, I’m quite chocked… but, I do understand as I had been taken in (against Pres. Trump) too! My conscience struck, hit me…. “You judge somebody without personal careful investigations”…. I then did, and was shocked how much we were lied …. It began with the Ambassador in Switzerland 🇨🇭 then Dave Rubin, etc etc…. Pres. Trump was (is) in the way of the “Deep State”…. to achieve there terrible plans for humanity….read the book of Klaus Schwab, the GREAT RESET…. Then you understand why Trump had to be destroyed and there were told so much lies, so much defamation….. !!!!!! So help us God ….not to permit the evil guided media….to blind us and judge unjustified…. Take care and God bless you ! 🦋

They are hiding but there are some out there that are standing for the truth and Word of God

Rodney Howard Browne (he wrote a book, Killing of Uncle Sam: The Demise of the United States. If you want to delve into the evil/corruption that has gone on for decades) is one of the most vocal and there are more. He was arrested last year for standing.

Have a blessed day. "ROMAN'S ROAD" plan of salvation: ROMANS: 3:10 “As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: [ all are guilty before God ( unrighteous) we must BE RIGHTEOUS to go to heaven. ] 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; [ JESUS is the Glory of God and all have come short of Jesus righteousness ] 6:23a- For the wages of sin is death; [ the only punishment for sin is eternal death in hell (Revelation 21:8 the second death) ] Revelation 21:8 But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death. [the second death is the death of the soul in the lake of fire forever and this is the only thing that we will ever deserve, but JESUS paid the penalty for us and will set us free from death and hell and give us eternal life because of his sacrifice for us.] Romans 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [ sin debt is paid, even though we are sinners, God demonstrated his love by His sacrifice ] 6:23b- but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. [ Salvation is a gift of God, paid in full by our Saviour's sacrifice ] 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. [ repentance and acceptance of the PAID IN FULL sin payment is the only way to receive the gift, we must believe by faith through the testimony of those that came before us that Jesus arose from the dead ] { 1 Corinthians 15:- tells us that the gospel is the death, burial and Resurrection of Jesus and that there were more than 500 people that saw Jesus after he arose from the dead and this is the testimony that we are to carry on and witness to others} 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. [ we are made RIGHTEOUS by repenting and believing that Jesus PAID IT ALL. ] Ask Jesus to save you right now and trust him, because he arose from the dead. Ephphatha

Your thoughts parallel mine to a T. It pretty much fell on deaf ears in the church here in North-north California and it was a missed opportunity as most churches weren't able to think creatively and just either shut down or stood defiantly in order to get back into their pews for business as usual. It sickened me, and still does. Mostly it was a lesson for me in forgiving my brothers and sisters for they know not what they are doing.

Here in Virginia, many churches started having outside services in some of the most ridiculous manners I’ve ever seen. “Wear your masks, stay in your cars, just wave at your neighbor and don’t hug.” On top of that, I have major issues with churches who are celebrating pagan holidays. I left the church years ago after experiencing several church splits. I was spiritually damaged, but now I understand that I was brought out of that system in order to see clearly. My beloved parents are still in this church system. My mom is sad that I won’t attend her church. I can see through talking to my mother that her ideas and opinions are changing. Btw, I was raised church of God & Pentecostal. The church system is broken.

Read Victoria Barnett's spot-on review of Metaxas' Bonhoeffer book (link below). Metaxas' book is utter garbage. Ironically, the kind of Feucht-Metaxas Nationalism (disguised as Christianity) is exactly the kind of thing that led to German Christians legitimization of Hitler. From Victoria Barnett's review: "All of this, however, leads to a selective misreading of Bonhoeffer’s theological development and a profound misunderstanding of what happened to the German churches between 1933 and 1945. The failure of the German Evangelical Church under Nazism was not that it was filled with formalistic, legalistic Lutherans who just needed to form a personal relationship to Jesus, but that it was filled with Christians whose understanding of their faith had so converged with German national culture that it tainted both their politics and their theology. As an interesting aside, when I first interviewed Eberhard Bethge in 1985 he explicitly compared this kind of Protestantism to what he had seen of the American religious right." contemporarychurchhistory.org/2010/09/review-of-eric-metaxas-bonhoeffer-pastor-martyr-prophet-spy-a-righteous-gentile-vs-the-third-reich/

These elitist are making rules for us and then completely ignoring their very own rules. The entire scamdemic is an affront to christianity. Why are strip clubs and abortion clinics allowed to run without interruptions? There was about 200,000 more suicides in 2020 because of the unequal rules. Let's follow the word of God and go to church and smile and love on our brothers and sisters in Christ. The government has no right to make unequal applications of their unconstitutional rules.

We need to fight for each other. We need to fight to preserve our republic.

Hmmm. Good point

Exactly wrong. Trump himself is anti-God and anti-law. Eric is very wrong and SIXTY some court cases supporting Biden's win say he's wrong! No, he's the sloppy and ignorant one here. God doesn't fight evil with evil. Trump's four years has been videotaped (more than other any Presidency) the proof that he is a godless fascist is very plentiful even without Media commentary! Hate rallies and slanderfests are NOT sanctioned by the Lord. Never. And there are many more examples of his wrong doings.. You want me and others to believe God sanctions all that evil that Trump engenders?? Yes indeed, wake up Church. Bonhoeffer would have been speaking up alright- about four years ago! (I can predict the hateful responses this respectful disagreement will draw from those calling themselves Christians.)

Carla, you don’t belong here. You lack discernment. Shut off the television, please.

@@skytte61 you could go to the next insurrection and see what happens...I hear they're planning another one in D.C. soon. Oh wait!...if you're a Bible believing Christian we're not supposed to continue on that zealot path!! Weigh your words and direction carefully! Scripture direction is missing here. I've read a bit of Dietrich Bonhoeffer and know Bonhoeffer had the Word of God backing him and he tried very hard to rescue the Church from Hitler Nationalism. Good thing he did not followed the church's -the vast majority of it- brainwashing to promote Hitler, or Eric M. would have one less book.
