Q&A: Sanctification of God’s Name
Sanctification of God’s Name
Question
What is the definition of dying for the sanctification of God’s name? I don’t know how many times I’ve already heard today that whoever died in the Holocaust died for the sanctification of God’s name, and I vaguely remember that you once said and explained that this is either inaccurate or simply not true at all—I don’t remember. Could you point me to an article or answer me here?
Thank you
Answer
This pathetic, senseless nonsense is our daily bread every Holocaust Remembrance Day, memorial service, and speech after a terror attack, and the like. Complete rubbish.
