Hitler was a Christian.......With this, it should mean Jesus died on the cross for his sins also, and he was forgiven......

So, he is in Heaven having a good time I guess.

Not asking for a debate, just something I was thinking about today while reading some history.

Yes he was forgiven as long as he asked for forgiveness. Unfortunately those are the 'rules'.

[Imaginarynumber1]

He was catholic and committed suicide, which I believe they see as a sin. I think they think it puts you in purgatory according to catholic doctrine.
Of course you're going to have people that come in and say he was raised catholic but turned away from it, etc, which is clearly not true according to his speeches, writings, etc.
I just don't think they want to claim him as one of their own (obviously).

[CommunitarianKevin]

If he was a declared Christian I guess I cannot argue with his beliefs but I would make the argument that he was not a Christian because when he was doing all of those things he was not worried about whether or not God was watching...

Hitler was involved heavily in the occult. What he professed to be and who he was were most likely two different things. But on whether heaven or hell for his final destination, only God knows.

I new no hardly any one would just be honest, and say yes.......   ( TY Bulveye for being honest )

He was also a vegitarian,which was highly unusual for the time,unless you did it for religious reasons.
He also loved his dogs.

He was a bad guy,who took good care of himself,and probably mentally absolved himself for any "sins",because he was doing it for his own personal greater good.
You're never forgiven for so many infractions in my opinion.
He's probably been reincarnated into an endless ,hellish life.
You go God.

He was totally religious, that is beyond debate.  
“I am now, as before, a Catholic and will always remain so.” -Hitler to Nazi General Gerhard Engel.


So If he was catholic, he goes to hell for suicide. If he was christian (protestant or whatever) then I guess he could be forgiven and go to heaven.

None of it makes any sense anyway....

I am asking people who follow Christianity......BY the Bible, and the way Christians are told, he should have been forgiven......

As said, not looking for a debate, I was hoping people would be honest here......

There is no picking and choosing, it should be in black and white.

You want an honest opinion? The God of the Christian faith does not exist. This does not mean a god does not exist, but if it does, it is not the Christian God. So no, I guess he was not forgiven since there is no God to forgive him.

Maybe he was on to something......Christian and Catholic.....Maybe we should just be every religion, cover all the bases......

Thanks for the reply, I think the same thing, and am hoping some true Christians will chime in on this.

Man, oh man.....

I do not want a opinion. ( not sure I posted that, I hope not ).......I want Christians to answer this......What were you taught as a Christian.

Black and White.....Forgiveness to sins, especially if you are a Christian.


NO, I want the original question answered.......Was Hitler forgiven?

Hitler was not a Christian.  The Nazis murdered about 7 million Christians in an effort to eliminate the religion, they constantly denounced it as a degenerate offshoot of the hated Jews. The reason they exalted Wagner's music was that it was based on pre-Christain  pagan myths. They scheduled their rallies on Sundays to keep people away from going to churh. They murdered 40,000+ Christain clergy.  The Nazi party had a rule: no Christain was admitted, former Christains had to denounce it.  Also: it is not a normal Christain teaching that Christ's death on the cross means every Christain goes to Heaven.

As if in posting this you were not asking for a debate? It is like making a huge inflammatory statement and then saying, "just joking".

If you will look in the bible, there is no sin greater than another. All sins are equal and can be forgiven. The key to it is asking for forgiveness. There are many that claim to be Christians just as there are many that claim to have seen UFOs. Do we believe them all? Probably not. In the case of most Christians, we look at the life they live and how they conduct themselves.

If Hitler sincerely asked for forgiveness of his sins and admitted he was a sinner, then yes he is in Heaven. If he did not, he is not. Based on the life he lived and his own ego, I think we can safely say that he never lived a Christian life and that his own ego would prevent him from admitting that he was  a sinner.

But hey, just my opinion, not asking for a debate.
