An institute in Germany has unearthed a Nazi bible ordered by Adolf Hitler to replace the old and new testaments expunged of all references to Jews.
Hitler's race theorists even rewrote the 10 commandments and added two more for good measure in the book called German with God which was alongside Hitler s autobiography meant to be required reading in every home in his Third Reich.
Thou shalt not kill, coveting one's neighbour's wife, thou shalt not steal and all other others were scrapped by a regime that stole, murdered and plundered its way across the world.
Hitler admired the ceremony and majesty of the church he admitted as much in Mein Kampf but hated its teachings which had no place in his vision of Germanic supermen ruling lesser races devoid of 'outdated' concepts such as mercy and love.
But he knew the power of the church in Germany and even he could not banish it overnight. He was even forced to abandon the systematic murder of the handicapped and insane before the war when outspoken bishops began to speak against it.
Instead his plan was to gradually 'Nazify' the church beginning with a theological centre he set up in 1939 to rewrite the Holy Bible. He appointed lackey professors to work on a thoroughly Nazi version that would remove all references to Jews and all compassion.
Their brief: 'The cleanse church texts of all non-Ayran influences.' The first to go were the 10 Commandments. The Nazi 12 run: "Honour God and believe in him wholeheartedly. Seek out the peace of God. Avoid all hypocrisy. Holy is your health and life! Holy is your wellbeing and honour! Holy is your truth and fidelity! Honour your father and mother your children are your aid and your example. Keep the blood pure and your honour holy! Maintain and multiply the heritage of your forefathers. Always be ready to help and to forgive. Honour your Fuehrer and master! Joyously serve the people with work and sacrifice. That is what God wants from us!" More important for Hitler, however, was the eradication of Jewish words, including Hallelulja, Jehova and even Jerusalem it was instead termed the the eternal city of God. "The book will have to serve the fight against the immortal Jewish enemy!" said Hitler in a memorandum to the institute in Eisenach.
Hansjoerg Buss of the Nordelbischen Church Office discovered the Bible in an archive search.
It was printed in 1941 by a company in Weimar and was shipped out to thousands of churches across Nazi-occupied Europe. It is understood most have been destroyed.
The name of the office Hitler created to shape the Bible in his image was the 'Institute for the research and removal of the Jewish influence on German church life.' One of the major tasks was to ignore Jesus Jewish roots and turn him into an Ayran. Other words specifically banned by Hitlers race-haters were Zion, Hosanna, Galilee and Moses.
One order found in the archives for a special exhibition in Eisenach of the institutes bizarre work came from Walter Grundmann, the anti-Semitic director appointed by Hitler.
He wrote in 1941: "The Bible must become Jew-free and the German people must see that the Jews are the mortal enemy who threaten their very existence."
Hymn books were also trawled and 'Ayranised' with no references to make the party elite balk during the few times they were ever likely to find themselves in a Christian church.
At its height, a team of 50 worked on re-writing hymn books and the Bible. But it was all a charade as far as Hitler and his S.S. chief Heinrich Himmler were concerned.
Both dreamed of being overlords of an essentially pagan society where the only virtues to be praised were iron hardness and a capability to obey any order, no matter what. "Human kindess and the moral compass as set by the Bible were laughable to them," said Ulrich Messner, a Nazi expert.
The King James Bible is a little under 800 pages in paperback form. The Nazi 'Bible' was 750 pages, after the references to Jews had been banished and Nazi "improvements" added.
Perhaps this "bible" should be reprinted so the "kinists" can use it.
ROTFLMAO!
High volume. Articles on Israel can also be found by clicking on the Topic or Keyword Israel. also

A project of Alfred Rosenberg and his Reich Church project, essentially a pagan affair, with a new Bible, a new Cross, and some Christian trappings and terminology. New holidays too, 13 if I recall, Christmas went back to a yule thing as I recall.
Alfred was hung at Nuremberg for his troubles.
* The National Reich Church is determined to exterminate irrevocably and by every means the strange and foreign Christian faiths imported into Germany in the ill-omened year 800.
* The National Reich Church has no scribes, pastors, chaplains or priests; but National Reich orators are to speak in them.
* The National Reich Church irrevocably strives for complete union with the state. It must obey the state as one of its servants. As such, it demands that all landed possessions of all churches and religious denominations be handed over to the state.
* The National Reich Church demands immediate cessation of the publishing and dissemination of the Bible in Germany as well as the publication of Sunday papers, pamphlets, publications and books of a religious nature.
* The National Reich Church has to take severe measures in order to prevent the Bible and other christian publications being imported into Germany.
* The National Reich Church declares that to it, and therefore to the German nation, it has been decided that the Fuhrer's "Mein Kampf" is the greatest of all documents. It is conscious that this book contains and embodies the purest and truest ethics for the present and future life of our nation.
* The National Reich Church will clear away from its altars all crucifixes, Bibles and pictures of Saints.
* On the altars there must be nothing but "Mein Kampf", which is to the German nation and therefore to God the most sacred book, and to the left of the altar a sword.
* The National Reich Church does not acknowledge forgiveness of sins. It represents the standpoint which it will always proclaim that a sin once committed will be ruthlessly punished by the honorable and indestructible laws of nature and punishment will follow during the sinner's lifetime.
* The National Reich Church repudiates the christening of German children, particularly the christening with water and the Holy Ghost.
Editing Jews out of the OT would be like editing the curse words out of Deadwood. You end up with the closing credits.
No joke.
Sounds a bit like the Episopal Church.
Not to mention whomever was getting rid of "Patriarcal" language in favor of "Rock, Paper, Scissors" or whatever they were saying.
This effort is really good evidence that being anti-semetic is anti-Christian.
Hitler's Cross, by Erwin W. Lutzer
Was this "found" in the same place as the Hitler Diaries?
And a bit like Thomas Jefferson who literally cut and pasted any references to the Deity of Christ and His miracles out of the Gospels.
I would say that most of the New Testament was either re-written or scrubbed all together. I wonder how they explained Jesus away? What about the disciples, with the exception of Luke (gentile), the rest were Jews.
Wonder what those who go about screaming "Hitler was a Christian" have to say about this?
Sounds like today's dimocRAT mantra.
I dont' know Stevio. Perhaps a better question would be how many do not? It seems their main goals are to rewrite truth into fiction.
It seems that the "ongoing revelation" fans can trace their roots through the Reich.....whodathunkit!
"Jesus Christ, King of the ****"
Well, Hitler's precedent of rewriting is quite popular with his political decendents on the Left in this country.
Sounds like how the commie National Council of Churches has tired to do with their versions of the Bible.
Also sounds a lot like Unitarians to me.
Well there goes all this garbage about Hitler's Pope.
How sad.
I did not know that about Jefferson. Is this recorded somewhere, so I can confirm it? (I don't doubt you; I just would not want to repeat that without solid confirmation, and I would repeat it as I don't like Jefferson.)
Jefferson did his own version of the Bible, too. A little scary to me, that one.
