Dietrich Bonhoeffer: A Story of Courage and Faith

Dietrich Bonhoeffer, a German theologian, is a Christian hero for many. Executed by the Nazis just days before the end of WWII for his participation in a plot to assassinate Hitler, Bonhoeffer is hailed as a 20th-century martyr. But Bonhoeffer struggled with a moral dilemma - his religious views were in stark contrast to the evil he saw all around him. He chose to face possible imprisonment and execution and to remain faithful to the principles of his belief in God. Across the political and theological spectrum, Bonhoeffer is celebrated as an icon of true Christianity and his theological writings are classics throughout the Christian world.

Forgive me, Lord, for my cowardice and stupidity. I am ashamed as a Christian to have fallen for cheap grace.

[@Redeemed.of.YHVH.thru.Christ]

“Cheap grace”? I don’t know what you mean by that, friend. The grace of YHVH that saves all who believe on Him through believing on Jesus Christ, was by no means cheap, and honestly, how horrid for you to refer to it as such. Our redemption comes at a tremendous cost, for the grace and mercy we have received to take away our transgressions was purchased with the precious ßIood of the only unique (meaning of begotten) Son of YHVH, God incarnate bodily as a man, who gave Himself as the substitutionary atonement for our transgressions. That was YHVH in Christ on the cross, our Creator in the flesh, who gave Himself in our place so that He could justly forgive us for our transgressions, and YHVH says it was Him who was pierced for our iniquities in Zechariah 12. You just called the ßIood of YHVH “cheap”. Do you understand that? Do you understand Acts 20 when it says the ßIood of God purchased our pardon from our transgressions? Do you understand 2 Corinthians 5 when it says YHVH was IN CHRIST reconciling the world to Himself? Do you understand Jesus Christ when He says He is the Almighty I AM in John 8, and the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, in Rev 1, which are all OT TITLES OF YHVH? We owed a debt to YHVH that could only be paid for us by the perfectly righteous ßIood of a Savior being shed in our place, and because only YHVH is perfectly righteous, He veiled Himself in flesh and entered our world to be our Kinsman Redeemer, the righteous dying for the iniquities of the unrighteous, so the unrighteous could be set free from the coming wráth of YHVH. He knew He had the power to raise Himself up again the 3rd day. How can you call what God did on our behalf “cheap”? Have you been deceived like the foolish Galatians in Galatians 3 into believing you are made righteous by your own works? Why don’t you reread that chapter and understand that our righteousness comes by our faith in what God incarnate, Jesus Christ, did on our behalf, as His perfect righteousness is imputed to us who believe, just like Abraham’s faith in YHVH was counted as righteousness to him, Romans 4. We receive the indwelling Holy Spirit BY FAITH, and NOT BY OUR OWN WORKS OF THE FLESH. Who has deceived you into believing otherwise, so that you commit such ßlasphemy against God by referring to the grace purchased through His shed ßlood as being “cheap”? That’s what you need to ask forgiveness for.

[@amyrenee1361]

​​​@@Redeemed.of.YHVH.thru.Christ if Yahweh has to crucify his only son, if he requires a blood sacrifice to forgive, he has no Grace- especially when scriptures say that "God" is responsible for the hardening of hearts, the blinding of eyes, and disillusionment of the mind. Those with power and authority have the responsibility to lead and guide those beneath them. To confuse, mislead, abandon, and allow wickedness to run rampant in the world is not just. Maybe you never read Romans 11:32 "For God has bound everyone over to disobedience so that he may have mercy on them all" If I break your legs intentionally so that I can appear merciful when I give you a wheelchair, I am neither just nor merciful.

[@amyrenee1361]

​@@Redeemed.of.YHVH.thru.Christwhat's cheap is the Bible. Imagine if I wrote a book for my kids and then left them. Imagine if I didn't speak to them, if I didn't help them as I watched murderers, robbers, and rapists destroy my offspring. Then generations later, in my own wrath, I sent plagues, war, and pestilence upon my offspring. Mercy is OWED. God should be asking his creation for forgiveness, not the other way around!

[@molliestanton2869]

@@Redeemed.of.YHVH.thru.Christ Listen again. For one of his examples, Bonhoeffer said that forgiveness without repentance is cheap. The ultimate sacrifice, of course, was Christ dying for humanity, when they choose to follow Him. The " cheap" part is accepting Christ's forgiveness--without true repentance, which means turning away ( from the sin.)

Taken to the front to sit on the side of the stage as the host said, ladies and gentlemen, please, welcome our guest, Mr Richard Wurmbrand. He gave his testimony. I could barely lift my head to look at him. Truly, the presence of God exuded from him. It was very overwhelming. I'm so glad I went. I picked up my book next day to continue reading it.

My phone is wacko. Eric Metaxis wrote the book " Bonhoeffer," because he was paid to do so. He learned nothing in his research. He hated writing the book, and disagreed with Bonhoeffer's perspectives. Eric Metaxis is part of the extreme Religious Right Nationalist community of false Christians, was a Trump supporter, and helped promote the Evangelical Right's insinuation into the political current Republican Party. The parallels to the union of Church and State during the 1930's in Germany and uniting the German population with the absurd claim that Hitler was God's man, is mirrored by the Evangelical Right Church's claim that Trump is God's Savior of an America that has never truely existed. Nationalism based on White Supremacy, a love of Authoritarian control, Dominionism, spreading fear, stirring up violence, hatred of the other, banning books, anti semitism, targeting gays, a hyper masculinity mindset, an anti immigrant sentiment, and wrapping Christianity together with Fascist ideology is taking Hitler's playbook and installing it once again in America. The similarities are not coincidental. We must not allow this path to continue here. It must be stopped. For the love of Christ and His commandment to love one another, vote Blue. This may be our last chance before darkness swallows us whole. This is the beast with the fatal head wound come back to life. Rev. Ch. 13. Trump is the little horn with the big boastful words spoken of in Dan. Ch.7 and 9. We must push back hard and drive a stake into the heart of this beast once and for all. Eric Metaxis is part of it.

In Bonhoeffer, there was no contradiction between caring for the wounded under the wheels of injustice and driving a spanner into the wheel.

[@molliestanton2869]

Actually he made a pointed distinction about our duty in injustice- not just to care for the wounded( "putting bandaids on")--but work to stop the injustice.

[@PCQLJ]

Have read Bonhoeffer biography by Eric Metaxas 3 times-riveting. THANK YOU for this well done video which quickly gives an excellent overview of who this amazing follower of Christ was.

[@saoirsejb]

How can Christians like Metaxes laud Bonhoeffer, while idol worshipping a Fascist thug like Trump, who increasingly exhibits all the red flags Bonhoeffer warned about?

Acts 1:14 These all continued with one accord in prayer and supplication, with the women, and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brethren.

Hi lillianmcyrew Good morning I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….🌺🌺🌺

Thank you so much. inspiring!

Powerful!

[@waynelomax4291]

This type of courage is unusual and difficult to replicate. Most pastors express what is popular. As a former pastor, I know the difficulty of thinking deeper than popular culture and expressing the contents of one’s conviction when those convictions refute the popular position. A rare man indeed. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for this video, never knew about him and his story very inspiring. Truly faith with action

[@amyrenee1361]

Where's God's actions upon the Earth? Why the sick game of belief in something unseen when you are told in the commandments to not bear false witness? To make a claim for the resurrection, to make a claim for Jesus, is bearing false witness. Saying the Bible is the word of God is bearing false witness. To speak of something as true that you yourself have not witnessed is to tell a lie.

[@ferrelli1001]

@@amyrenee1361 I believe you may be confused in order to state your position. To make a claim for Jesus is a claim for faith after much study in the history of the Hebrew nation.

[@vonn2221]

@@amyrenee1361 i dont understand what's your point of argument If you said about God action upon earth when this video about Nazi, then i want to ask what happen to Nazi and how Adolf Hitler name until now he remember as evil, like a cursing About claiming Jesus is false witness, now it's another question i find confusing You ask this because you are atheist or you are from another religion? And who told you that Christianity is false? Isn't the one that told you is human?

What a story! What a man!

[@tinamcgee2683]

I have read this book. I fully agree this should be a must read in our schools. Coming from Grrman immigrants who fled Germany I read every thing I could get my hands on Hitler, the murdrring of the Jews and destruction of so many countries in Germany. My Great-grandmother would never spesk of the country she came from as a baby.

You are very welcome

[@jigssscupid8836]

This touched me.

[@mchristr]

I've wondered how Germany went from the Reformation to the Third Reich. But it's clear there's always been a remnant of believers there, perhaps surprisingly among the aristocratic class.

[@mrjeffjob]

It was exactly the protestant revolt and the accompanying heresy of private judgment that were the seeds of this atrocity. Luther’s hatred of the Jews certainly carried their noxious weeds into German minds.

[@davidmay4014]

Thoughts from the Mount of Blessings what an incredible book! Thank you.

beautiful story

[@rick4400]

Late last night I listened to Jordan Peterson interviewing Eric Mataxes about Eric;'s book about the life of Bonhoeffer. So this morning when I "stumbled" upon your YT channel I just had to listen. Thanks for this very informative report about Bonhoeffer. I'm now subscribing to your channel.

La première résistance a été la résistance de l'eglise catholique,.Pour les luthériens,c'etaient plus difficile car ils étaient entièrement dans la main de Hitler,alors que les catholiques avaient le Pape pour soutenir et encourager.merci de cette très intéressante video,il est rare que l'on parle de cet homme au courage et a la foi exceptionnelle.Boenhoffer,martyr du Christ,priez pour nous.

[@pamelakyzer5791]

Boenhoffer is a saint and a martyr. What a Christian leader he was. I look forward to the new movie by ANGEL coming out based on Eric Metaxas's excellent book " Bonhoeffer". This is a very good documentary.

[@saoirsejb]

How can Christians like Metaxes laud Bonhoeffer, while idol worshipping a Fascist thug like Trump, who increasingly exhibits all the red flags Bonhoeffer warned about?
