The monumental and evil insanity of The Jews insisting WW2 crimes were a holocaust

If the Messias-Deniers are correct that the world war two war crimes committed against them - and them alone - was a holocaust then that idea has these inescapable and insane consequences they must accept:

the idea which lies at the root of all sacrifice is that of an offering, of an offering which affords a means of access to God, of an offering which is in some sense vicarious, as symbolical of the self-oblation of the offerer 

The Nazis were sacrificing Jews as a means to access God and their sacrifice was their self-oblation.

 It might be a simple—albeit most solemn—acknowledgment of the supreme dominion of God ; and this would seem to have been the true inward significance of the holocaust or whole-burnt offering. Or it might be in the nature of a thank-offering or peace offering, terms which sufficiently explain themselves. Or again it might have for its specific purpose the removal of an obstacle in the form of a sin or trespass, which impeded the approach of the offender to God ; in which case the sacrifice would be in the strict sense propitiatory.


The Nazis were killing the Jews as a peace offering to God or they were killing Jews as a way to have their sins forgiven and all of the Jews they killed were killed as an act of propitiation.

Morbidly Insane, but this is what the Messias-Deniers are insisting upon, so, let's continue:


That in the holocaust or whole-bumt offering the entire victim was consumed by fire on the altar is sufficiently indicated by the terms employed in the Septuagint and in the Vulgate and English versions, Catholic and Anglican. It is less clearly implied in the original Hebrew word Wan, which means a " sending-up " or "causing to ascend.

The Nazis were sacrificing the Jews on an altar.  Alrighty, then: 

Ok, stay with ABS for this insanity is about to go galactic in its profound and monumental insipidity: 

Now in a sentence which has been embodied in one of the prayers in the Roman Missal (the Secreta of the Seventh Sunday after Pentecost), St. Leo tells us that in His one sacrifice Our Lord has united and consummated the ancient rites with all their diversities. And indeed it is easy to see that His offering of Himself was a holocaust by reason of its completeness ; a propitiatory offering for sin by reason of its atoning efficacy and purpose, and finally a peace-offering whereby the atonement was not only made but sealed by a sacrificial meal. 

The Jews are telling the world what happened to them was a holocaust and insisting the world obey them and use the word holocaust to describe what is clearly not a holocaust and so let's just set aside the principle of non-contraditciton and re-read that paragraph and understand what are the consequences of that insane idea.

The Messias-Deniers think the Nazis killing them was a fulfillment of their Old Testament Judaism.


And then after the Nazi's killed the Jews, they ate them.


Fine, but it is the preposterous insanity of the Messias-Deneirs who own that idea and its ineluctable consequences and if y'all want to do what they order - call a holocaust what is clearly not a holocaust - then; have at it, but ABS will NEVER use the word Holocaust to describe the war crimes committed against the Jews.


Let's soldier on in confronting the insanity for it grows increasingly larger:


Hence it is explicitly noted, as an element in the perfection of the sacrifice of Christ, that in this case Priest and Victim were one and the same. And yet even here the idea of substitution was not wanting, for here the all-perfect Victim was self-offered for His people. In the divine tragedy of Calvary it is plain that it was not the act of slaying Our Lord that constituted the sacrifice, but Our Lord's acceptance of the death inflicted on Him.

OK the Messias-Deniers think the Jews in the second world war were willing victims and they sacrificed themselves to God via the nazis.

Those are the consequences of the insane idea that what happened in world war two was a holocaust.


Now, the Messias-Deniers have free will and they can claim whatever they want to claim but are you, dear reader, going to be obedient to them when they insist you call what happened to them a holocaust?


You won't if you retrain a modicum of sanity in your soul.
