In 1945, Ash Wednesday fell on the 14th of February.

Between 13 and 15 February, British and American bombers engaged in one of history’s most notorious war crimes — the firebombing of Dresden.

The height of the bombing campaign was Ash Wednesday.

By February of 1945, World War II, in the European theatre, was essentially over. The Allies had won — the Axis lay in ruins. For the Allies, however, it was never about winning the war — their goals were greater, more expansive.

And so the campaigns continued. The bombing of Berlin was, by this time, already underway for weeks.

In 1144, the Jews murdered William of Norwich, who was 12 at the time of his death.

The Jews kidnapped, tortured, and murdered him, and consumed his blood during their Passover, as is their custom, which continues to this day. In 1168, the Jews murdered Harold of Gloucester, who was likely around 10 at the time of his death.

The Jews kidnapped, tortured, and murdered him, and consumed his blood during their Passover, as is their custom, which continues to this day.

Things that are easy to get rid of: Shoes.
Things are that hard to get rid of: Bodies.

Things we are supposed to take as evidence: Shoes.
Things for which we aren’t allowed to look: Bodies.
If shoes are proof of genocide, then I have dated some women with quite the skeleton collection somewhere (obviously not in the same closet as the shoes).

“My feeling as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the Man Who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and Who — God's truth! — was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight against the Jewish poison. Today, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross.” “My feeling as a Christian [Acts 11:26] points me to my Lord [Romans 10:9] and Savior [Philippians 3:20] as a fighter [Exodus 15:3]. It points me to the Man Who once in loneliness, surrounded only by a few followers [John 6:66], recognized these Jews [Revelation 2:9] for what they were [John 8:44] and summoned men to fight against them [Luke 6:13] and Who — God's truth! — was greatest not as a sufferer [Isaiah 53:3] but as a fighter [Jeremiah 20:11]. In boundless love as a Christian [1 Corinthians 13] and as a man [1 Timothy 5:8] I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might [John 2:13–22] and seized the scourge [Matthew 21:12–17] to drive out of the Temple [Mark 11:15–19] the brood of vipers and adders [Luke 19:45–48].

Crematoria per camp: 5 / 1 / 0 / 1 / 1 / 0.

Total: 8.

Time to incinerate a body in a modern crematorium:
3+ hours (see COVID pandemic data).

Time to incinerate per day number (see above):
9864 hours / 8 = 1233 hours per day.
18,081 hours / 8 ≈ 2260 hours per day.

Between 13 and 15 February 1945, British and American bombers engaged in one of history’s most notorious war crimes — the firebombing of Dresden.

None of the men involved were ever made — in this life — to answer for their evil. By February of 1945, World War II, in the European theater, was essentially over. The Allies had won — the Axis lay in ruins, but, for the Allies, or, more accurately, for their masters, it was never about winning the war — their goals were greater, more expansive.

And so the campaigns continued.

This line of ‘argument’ is common amongst the illiterati, but it is becoming increasingly popular even among pastors (who should certainly know better). I have addressed this previously and elsewhere, but I will address it again here in order to make sure the matter is clear.

I will address three points:
1. Ancient Cush does not map neatly onto any modern country or even region.
2. There is no support in Scripture for Moses having taken a second wife.
3. The narrative in Numbers 12 has nothing to do with Moses’ wife or wives.

(I will use modern geographical names throughout to make this easier to follow.)

If moderns were not so pitiably illiterate (read: they know nothing of Scripture), then many of the ‘talking points’ surrounding Christianity would find no purchase.

Let's go through a few: 1. ‘There are no White people in the Bible.’

Japheth, first son of Noah, is the Urvater of Europe — all Whites are descended from him. Further, Scripture contains a fair number of Greeks and Romans — both White. (There are other examples as well.)

Do you think the 'annotated' Large Catechism was a standalone issue? What if I told you that @ConcordiaSem has been hosting a 'film festival' for years and that one of the organizers/contributors is a pornographer? Well, they have (and he is): The CSL "Faith and Film Festival" has been going for a number of years. Although not necessarily a problem, the disclaimer on the site certainly raises some question:

"Disclaimer: This festival is for adults only."
