De Ziua Holocaustului in Romania, 9 octombrie 2009

Israel, 7 octombrie 2009

BERZINTU-Lucretia-wbNumai un om bolnav psihic poate sa nege existenta  Holocaustului. Inafara de  milioane de documente doveditoare, exista inca supravietuitori care vorbesc, ale caror marturii nu pot fi anihilate.

Doamna Mizzi Locker (muzician), originara din Romania, este supravietuitoare a lagarului mortii de la Mihailovka, de dincolo de Transnistria, din Transbug (Ucraina). Am cunoscut-o in Israel si mi-a marturisit multe din tragediile de atunci, fara ca rana din suflet sa se vindece… Este mentionata si in cartea – jurnal, ”Groapa este in livada de visini”, scrisa de pictorul Arnold Dagani, care, impreuna cu sotia sa Anisoara, au fost deportati in acelasi lagar.

Este un privilegiu pentru mine, de a avea onoarea sa cunosc indeaproape un supravietuitor al Holocaustului romanesc, si astfel, voi duce mai departe adevarul despre acele grozavii.

Sotii Bernhard si Mizzi Locker, impreuna cu multi alti evrei, au fost deportati din Cernauti in ziua de 14 iunie 1942. Deportari se faceau in zilele de 7, 14 si 21 ale lunii. Ei au fost transportati cu trenul de animale pana in localitatea Ladajin, pe malul de vest al raului Bug, in ghetou. Dupa circa o luna de zile, i-au trecut raul Bug cu bacul si apoi au fost transportati in camioane pana in lagarul mortii de la Mihailovka, care era sub administratie germana. Acolo au lucrat la construirea unei sosele si la cariera de piatra. Barbatii scoteau piatra din cariera iar femeile trebuiau sa incarce, fiecare, cate 21 de carute cu piatra pe zi.

WHY ARE THE PEOPLE RUNNING AWAY FROM THE CHURCH ?

by John Urs

This week I was shocked to read in the news the story of a 7 years old boy who stole his dad’s car and drove as fast as he could being chased by police just to skip going to the church.

hypocriteThe story made a media world tour and I don’t know how may people paid attention to it, but for me it was like a cold shower.

Why?

This is the question that we all ask? How can you compare this situation with the past and present martyrs who are laying their own life for Jesus’ sake?

Oops, I forgot to tell you that this happened in America…

What is happening with our country ? What is happening with the Christians in America ? Or it’s only America, what about Europe ?

Is this happening in the historical Christian areas, why ?

This reminds me of the people of Israel and the times of Joshua. It reminds me of Joshua’s bold declaration to obey and serve the Lord and is also reminding me of what happened only one generation after that when Israel turned away from the Lord.

Somebody said that Christianity endures only one generation and that is why we have to live a life through which to make sure that we pass on the Christian values.

But why are the people running? Why do they prefer rather to surf on My Space, share on Twitter and Facebook than going to the House of the Lord?

There few answers that I have, not all of them but some…

Here we go:

Family is no longer a family. The church is so much affected by the divorce and remarriage phenomenon that sometimes you think if it still should be named church or a social club. If we read the Scriptures the children should be educated in the Christian values in the family and if you don’t have a normal family… you think about it.

Bible is no longer the Word of God and ultimate authority. The most successful preachers today are not the ’’conservative’’, limited and old fashioned preachers who are basing all their messages on the truth of the Scriptures, but the ’’innovative’’, free thinkers and pleasant to hear, messengers of a life without barriers and without pains, the preachers of the relative truths and the ones who fit the culture. The Bible is no longer dictating us how to live it is just our source of false comfort and delusional peace.

Most of the Christians don’t have a genuine relationship with Jesus Christ. We are the result of a ’’cheap Grace’’ gospel, we are the hypocrites of our days. Zacchaeus could not see the Lord because of the people around him and seems like today the most people around Christ are stopping even their children from seeing the Lord.

What do we need to do?

REPENT NOW!
