六、教会内部既有支持者，也有反对者
The Churches Included Both Supporters and Opponents

新教和天主教内部都有神职人员和信徒支持纳粹政权。
Both Protestant and Catholic churches included clergy and members who supported the Nazi regime.

一些新教人士组成了所谓“德国基督徒”运动。
Some Protestants formed the so-called “German Christians” movement.

他们试图把基督教与纳粹种族主义、民族主义和领袖崇拜结合起来。
They tried to combine Christianity with Nazi racism, nationalism, and devotion to the Führer.

他们甚至试图把耶稣描绘成符合所谓“雅利安”民族观念的人物。
They even tried to portray Jesus in ways that fitted so-called “Aryan” racial ideas.

这是对基督教信仰的严重歪曲。
This was a serious corruption of Christianity.

与此同时，也有认信教会以及潘霍华、尼莫拉等人反对国家控制教会。
At the same time, the Confessing Church and people such as Dietrich Bonhoeffer and Martin Niemöller resisted state control of the church.

但即使在反对国家干预教会的人中，也不是所有人一开始就清楚而全面地反对反犹主义和纳粹暴政。
Yet even among those who resisted state control of the church, not everyone opposed antisemitism and Nazi tyranny clearly and fully from the beginning.

七、为什么许多基督徒会误选希特勒？
Why Did Many Christians Make the Mistake of Supporting Hitler?

1.
把反共产主义看得高于一切
1. They Made Anticommunism More Important Than Everything Else

一些基督徒认为，只要一个政治人物反对共产主义，就值得支持。
Some Christians believed that any politician who opposed communism deserved their support.

他们没有同时认真审查他的种族主义、暴力、谎言和独裁思想。
They failed to examine his racism, violence, lies, and dictatorial ideas with equal seriousness.

2.
把民族主义和基督教混在一起
2. They Confused Nationalism with Christianity

一些人把“德国民族的复兴”错误地等同于“基督教的复兴”。
Some people wrongly identified the revival of the German nation with the revival of Christianity.

他们认为，只要国家强大、社会有秩序、传统得到恢复，基督教就会得到保护。
They believed that if the nation became strong, order returned, and traditions were restored, Christianity would be protected.

他们没有看到，希特勒真正要求的是对国家和领袖的偶像式忠诚。
They failed to see that Hitler demanded an idolatrous loyalty to the state and to himself.

3.
只听宗教口号，不看实际果子
3. They Heard Religious Words but Failed to Examine the Fruit

纳粹党使用“积极的基督教”等模糊语言吸引教会人士。
The Nazi Party used vague language such as “Positive Christianity” to attract churchgoing people.

希特勒有时也公开谈论神、护理、道德和基督教文明。
Hitler sometimes spoke publicly about God, providence, morality, and Christian civilization.

但他的真实意识形态包含种族主义、反犹主义、暴力和对民主法治的仇恨。
But his real ideology included racism, antisemitism, violence, and hatred of democratic law.

许多人只听见了他所使用的宗教词语，却没有认真察验他的政策和行为。
Many people heard his religious vocabulary but failed to examine his policies and actions carefully.

4.
认为可以利用一个邪恶的强人
4. They Thought They Could Use an Evil Strongman
