RAYMOND NITSCHKE OVER FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
Faith Is A Gift Not A Philosophy
QUESTION
RECEIVED:
"
A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove
anything." ~ Friedrich Nietzsche. What's wrong with what he says?
MY
ANSWER:
(revised from an earlier article-some young guy always falls for NIETZSCHE )
What’s
wrong with Friedrich Nietzsche’s quote?
Everything.
If you’re
looking for answers-specifically how to find peace through God in Jesus
Christ-Why would you look to a philosopher who promoted the idea of “the death
of God”.
Why
would you promote a man whose “uberman” or superman theory was derived from
social Darwinism, was adored by Adolf
Hitler and used to support “the ultimate
solution” in systematically murdering
millions of Jews, people with physical or mental abnormalities,
homosexuals and outspoken Christians who stood against this evil ethic.
He
can be called the philosopher of the Third Reich.
Fredrick’s
faith was in his wit.
He
arrogantly refused to submit to that his mind was inferior to the Creator of
Heaven and Earth.
This
has made many a man miss salvation by not humbly coming to the savior in
repentance.
The
date is undetermined when Nietzsche said the quote in your question.
Perhaps
his quote was said in the last years of his life in the late 1800’s when
Nietzsche himself was committed to a “lunatic” asylum?
In
the asylum he often made reference to himself as the crucified and risen
Christ.
Of
course many historians believe he contracted syphilis from a homosexual brothel
so his mind was not right at the end.
My
question is when was his mind right?
Why
would anyone saddle up to follow his theories?
Why
would anyone look to an enemy of Christ to find Christ?
No
man’s wit, works or riches can pardon his sins, get him to Heaven or make peace
with God.
Faith
in Jesus saves us!
Jesus
Christ, who was fully God and fully man, lived a perfect life. Christ then he became the sinless sacrifice
on the cross. He paid for the sins of
all who would repent and believe. Believers
receive forgiveness, eternal life and peace with God.
In
John 3 it says the call of salvation is the work of the Holy Spirit who calls
us and He does as he pleases – not as we please.
God
had a plan in his Kingdom to save us.
John
3 also says-
John 3:16-17
New King James Version (NKJV)
“16 For God
so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in
Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His
Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might
be saved.”
The
Word tells us how Jesus Christ saves us and keeps us.
Ephesians
1:13-14 New King James Version (NKJV)
"13 In
Him you also trusted, after you heard the word of truth, the gospel of your
salvation; in whom also, having believed, you were sealed with the Holy Spirit
of promise, 14 who is the guarantee of our inheritance until the redemption of
the purchased possession, to the praise of His glory."
The
only good thing about Nietzsche is that he rocked a good mustache as seen in
his pictures.
Green
Bay Packer linebacker legend Ray Nitschke, from the glory days in the 1960’s
during coach Vince Lombardi era, did more for humanity and will get you closer
to Heaven then Fredrick Nietzsche.
Read
the Word for the only way to Heaven is through the faith that some historic
philosopher’s spurn.
Have
faith in Jesus Christ a Savior, Sanctifier, Healer and coming King.
Faith
is a gift from God - not a philosophy.
Romans 10:17
"So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."
