How do you understand Bonhoeffer’s idea that “Christ is really present only in community”?

I dont get really understand how Dietrich Bonhoeffer came to this
all answers appreciated
thanks!

weight loss cardiff answers:

“When two or three are gathered, I am there also.”
Folks who think they can be a solitary Christian, may not be correct. Alone we can do the work of one, but together, with Christ working through us, we can accomplish great things. Christians are not meant to be alone.

Sandy asks…

Was Dietrich Bonhoeffer morally wrong to willingly participate in the attempt to assasinate Adolph Hitler?

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was presented with the ultimate question in dilemma ethics. He struggled with the question. His conscience propelled him to his own death as a result of his decision. Bonhoeffer said, “The ultimate test of a moral society is the kind of world it leaves its children.” Was he morally wrong?
I found this in the book of Mark. “For even the Son of Man came not to be ministered unto, but to minister to many, and to give his life as a ransom for many.” KJV
or as expressed in “The Message”
“He came to serve, not to be served — and then to give away his life in exchange for many who were held hostage.”
I believe that Bonhoeffer knew his life was on the line when he entered into the conspiracy to assassinate Hitler; that he came to think that the church also needed to become the social conscience for the people thru his experience in the black church in America when he visited here, no doubt a divinely appointed trip. I believe he was expressing his discipleship to Christ in the most pure form, willing, from the git-go to lay down his life for his fellow man, the Jews, who were being persecuted and murdered like they were so many rabid dogs. He struggled with the ethics of his dilemma, and he was forgiven. I hope to have a conversation with him one day myself.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Ah, an age old question, is it right to commit a “lesser” sin to stop a “greater” sin. Was it morally right for him to try to stop Hitler from murdering millions. Technically, he would have been involved in a sin, which is murder, and as a believer, he is forgiven. One could use the analogy of someone on one of the planes on 9/11. If you could have stopped one of the planes from crashing into the buildings by killing one or more of the terrorists, would you do it? You would still be technically murdering someone, but could it be called self defense? Or the defense of another? Such is the case of Bonhoeffer, could his act be considered one of self defense, knowing that since he would not go along with the “program” he too may end up in a camp, or the defense of millions of helpless people who could not fight for themselves? It is something that each of us would have to come to a conscientious decision at the time. So was he technically wrong or sinning? Yes. Was it morally wrong to do it? I would say, looking back at what happened, no.

Michael asks…

Was Dietrich Bonhoeffer a good christian or selfish, why? & Is him dying for his beliefs the ultimate test?

i have 2 answer these 2 questions about Dietrich Bonhoeffer:
Was Dietrich Bonhoeffer a good christian or selfish, why?
& Is him dying for his beliefs the ultimate test?
I think his is talking about his assassionation attempt and his life as a christian
i am in a year 10 GCSE class (14-15 year olds)
i just need a small paragraph, about each.

weight loss cardiff answers:

What grade level, and class, is this for?

This is a pretty complex issue. (More complex than typing “2” to replace “to,” I would imagine.)

I think what’s interesting, is early in the war, Bonhoeffer had the opportunity to escape, fled to New York, and then went back to Germany, to try to be a moral opposition to the Nazi.

He was completely involved in the assassination attempt against Hitler — so he was willing to help kill. And I’m sure, since you’ve read his writings, you understand how much Bonhoeffer struggled with the right and wrong of what he did.

So, was he a good Christian EXAMPLE, may be a better question. Should followers of Christ support killing, ever, even in the most extreme situations? I don’t think so. The question shouldn’t be, would a Christian be willing to kill Hitler, to stop Hitler’s evil, the question should be would CHRIST be willing to kill to stop evil? No. But Christ was willing to die to stop evil. And, eventually, so was Bonhoeffer.

When Bonhoeffer left the USA, and returned to Germany, he knew the possible outcome. When he helped start the break away seminary, he knew he was going against the official policy of the government and the church in Germany. When he agreed to participate in the assassination plot, he knew the possible outcome, so every step of his life, he was willing to die for his beliefs — for his belief in Christ.

Shouldn’t all followers of Christ be willing to die for Christ?

Glad to make your aquaintence, sir. (I figured you must be God, for he alone can judge. BTW I always though Dietrich Bonhoeffer comported himself perfectly well, but then who am I to say? After all, I’m not God.

Why was Dietrich Bonhoeffer persecuted?

for my school bible class i need to answer some questions on dietrich bonhoeffer, and this is one of them. i really need some truthful answers. Thanx Guys.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Just Google him and you will find lots of info. Basically he was a Lutheran pastor who refused to stop preaching and was also involved in the resistance. Even when he was imprisoned and tortured, he never stopped preaching God’s word.
He wrote some wonderful books and there are many books written about his life. Some do consider him one of the modern martyrs.
