If religion is all about forgiving people for there sins,Is Hitler in heaven with God???

I don't necessarily believe in the whole Christianity heaven/hell concept, but if I did, I would say that where you go after death depends on what's in your heart, not what comes out of your mouth, or where you spend your Sundays. I can't imagine that God would find much good in the hearts of Hitler or the other fellows you mention. I think a good hearted Pagan or Jew or Muslim or Buddhist or whatever has a better shot at heaven than a bad person who states they accept Jesus. I think people worry a lot more about labels (like Christian, or Jew, etc.) than God does.

He killed many innocent people. I dont think heaven is the right place for a person like that.\n\nAnd in response to the first answer, according to his religion, which he calimed to be a muslim, well, think about it............ In Islam, killing innocent people will lead you straight to hell.

Well, just to help you a little here, Hitler did not believe in Jesus.  He felt Christianity was weak and didn't want his power being challenged by religious authorities.  (If the basis of your question is, "Is it alright to kill those who don't agree with you?" I hope you know the answer already.) \n\nHitler wanted to exterminate every Jew on earth, not change their minds.  His reasons for killing Jews (which is part of what makes the Holocaust so remarkable) had nothing to do with their beliefs.  It was all about their birth, and many secular and converted Jews were murdered alongside their orthodox counterparts.\n\nYou should really read up more on the holocaust.  It is possibly the worst thing in human history, and the only thing we can do to prevent something similar is to know how it happened the first time.\n\nP.S.- Here's the really tough question you might want to ponder; After ordering the murder of twelve million innocents and waging a wart to conquer the earth, if Hitler had recanted on his death bed, would G-d have forgiven him.

I don't believe your "faithfulness" notion here.  Where was your god during holocaust days?\n\nYou can't tell me there weren't any god-fearing jew / people in those camps.  \n\nDon't bother with the "well well" + explanations about the permissive will or any other sort of will of god, and all the other explanations that amount to "too bad for them glad it wasn't us" rationale.\n\nAll over the world, people suffer terribly through no fault of their own.  Your god doesn't seem so faithful.  \n\nPerhaps you're simply lucky!

Blind Faith- Like What Nazi Germany Thought of Hitler!

History is currently being distorted by the millions of Christians who lie to have us believe that the Holocaust was not a Christian deed.  Through subterfuge and concealment, many of today’s Church leaders and faithful Christians have camouflaged the Christianity of Adolf Hitler and have attempted to mark him an atheist, a pagan cult worshipper, or a false Christian in order to place his misdeeds on those with out Jesus.  However, from the earliest formation of the Nazi party and throughout the period of conquest and growth, Hitler expressed his Christian support to the German citizenry and soldiers. Those who would make Hitler an atheist should turn their eyes to history books before they address their pews and chat rooms.\n\n    Considering that Christianity has thus far been incapable of producing an unbiased, educated follower which speaks the truth, (I haven’t encountered any), I have been forced to dispel the myth by writing this essay.  It is not until I bring up his speeches, my personal info on the Nazi regime and their tactics that a Christian will begin to question what their clergy told them. (I am the offspring of a German soldier.  My Opa served under Hitler in WW2 and my father was raised during the time of the Nazi regime.  This is important information to take into consideration for I am privy to some info that most Americans do not know.  It is common for American media and education institutions to lie to their citizens concerning Nazi Germany.)  So, in presenting this information I must break it into four parts: 1) Facts about Hitler and his involvement with the Church.  2) How the Church was the catalyst for anti- Semitism.  3) Facts concerning how the Nazi regime drilled these beliefs into Germanic society.  4) Quotes Hitler made which prove he had a disdain for atheism/occultism, upheld his Christian faith, and hated Jews due to his Christianity.\n\nHitler’s involvement with the Church:\n\na) Hitler was baptized as Roman Catholic during infancy in Austria.\n\nb) As Hitler approached boyhood he attended a monastery school.  (On his way to school young Adolf daily observed a stone arch which was carved with the monastery’s coat of arms bearing a swastika.)\n\nc) Hitler was a communicant and an altar boy in the Catholic Church.\n\nd) As a young man he was confirmed as a “soldier of Christ.”  His most ardent goal at the time was to become a priest.  Hitler writes of his love for the church and clergy: “I had excellent opportunity to intoxicate myself with the solemn splendor of the brilliant church festivals.  As was only natural, the abbot seemed to me, as the village priest had once seemed to my father, the highest and most desirable ideal.”  -Adolf Hitler (Mein Kampf)\n\ne) Hitler was NEVER excommunicated nor condemned by his church.  Matter of fact the Church felt he was JUST and “avenging for God” in attacking the Jews for they deemed the Semites the killers of Jesus.\n\nf) Hitler, Franco and Mussolini were given VETO power over whom the pope could appoint as a bishop in Germany, Spain and Italy.  In turn they surtaxed the Catholics and gave the money to the Vatican.  Hitler wrote a speech in which he talks about this alliance, this is an excerpt: “The fact that the Vatican is concluding a treaty with the new Germany means the acknowledgement of the National Socialist state by the Catholic Church.  This treaty shows the whole world clearly and unequivocally that the assertion that National Socialism [Nazism] is hostile to religion is a lie.”  Adolf Hitler, 22 July 1933, writing to the Nazi Party\n\ng) Hitler worked CLOSELY with Pope Pius in converting Germanic society and supporting the church.  The Church absorbed Nazi ideals and preached them as part of their sermons in turn Hitler placed Catholic teachings in public education.  This photo depicts Hitler with Archbishop Cesare Orsenigo, the papal nuncio in Berlin.  It was taken On April 20, 1939, when Orsenigo celebrated Hitle

Yes, I agree!\n\nOnly God is Perfection, and His Messengers reflect His Perfection, and we...?  We are entirely imperfect.  Therefore, only God is the ultimate judge.\n\nChrist brought a message of love and forgiveness.  If someone calling themselves a Christian looks upon others with an unforgiving heart, they have much to learn.\n\nForgiveness is different than forgetting, however.\n\nYes, I can forgive a man for being a sick pedophile and molesting a child, but will I forget his misdeed and permit him access to other children?  Hell, no!\n\nThose who hurt other human beings must be punished and/or separated from society.  We forgive them for the sake of God, not for themselves.\n\nAnd we NEVER forget.

You are correct. God is not capable of simply forgiving someone, as you and I are; he must kill someone in order to do it. In the Old Testament, he required that animals die every single day so that he could forgive the Israelites. This worked just fine for thousands of years, and then one day God just wasn't satisfied. I guess the novelty of animal sacrifices wore off and he needed a human sacrifice. But not just ANY old human sacrifice, this one had to be special, so he sent his Holy Spirit to Earth to impregnate a teenage girl (does that count as sex with a minor?), then he arranged for the resulting offspring--his own son--to die.  Only then was God able to forgive everyone.\n\nOr was he? People are supposedly forgiven for every bad thing they ever did or will do, yet they are required to beg forgiveness, anyway, every time they do something bad. And if they do a lot of bad things, they get sent to eternal punishment...even though God forgave them.

Very interesting question...I would be surprised if Hitler was in heaven and if Mother Teresa were not.

Hitler did not all of a sudden say, 'Hey, lets band everyone together by hating Jews.' The hatred of Jews in Europe goes all the way back to the time it became Christian. Passages in the Christian's New Testament paint "The Jews" as being the children of the devil, hypocritical, and interested only in money rather than in Gd. \n\nWho wrote the following???\n\n"""But since I learned that those miserable and accursed people do not cease to lure to themselves even us, that is, the Christians, I have published this little book, so that I might be found among those who opposed such poisonous activities of the Jews and who warned the Christians to be on their guard against them....Now, in order to strengthen our faith, we want to deal with a few crass follies of the Jews in their belief and their exegesis of the Scriptures, since they so maliciously revile our faith. If this should move any Jew to reform and repent, so much the better. We are now not talking with the Jews but about the Jews and their dealings, so that our Germans, too, might be informed....Our Lord also calls them a "brood of vipers"; furthermore, in John' 3:39 he states: "If you were Abraham's children would do what Abraham did.... You are of your father the devil." It was intolerable to them to hear that they were not Abraham's but the devil's children, nor can they bear to hear this today.... For they are a heavy burden, a plague, a pestilence, a sheer misfortune for our country. Proof for this is found in the fact that they have often been expelled forcibly from a country, far from being held captive in it....Therefore be on your guard against the Jews, knowing that wherever they have their synagogues, nothing is found but a den of devils in which sheer self-glory, conceit, lies, blasphemy, and defaming of God and men are practiced most maliciously and veheming his eyes on them.......but then eject them forever from this country. For, as we have heard, God's anger with them is so intense that gentle mercy will only tend to make them worse and worse, while sharp mercy will reform them but little. Therefore, in any case, away with them!"""\n\nIt was Martin Luther, one of the founders of the Protestant movement in Christianity!

Yes, It is, but God already took care of them. It's all about a Totalitarian Dictatorship in Heaven. God is the Joseph Stalin / Idi Amin of the heavens.

Hitler's religion is described here: http://www.nobeliefs.com/hitler.htm  It seems to be largely unknown, but mainly Christian with a healthy dose of mysticism.  He was raised as a Catholic, and vocally denounced athiesm (http://www.infidels.org/library/historical/unknown/hitler.html)\n\nOther officials within the Nazi regieme were Christian, mostly Catholic although certainly plenty of Protestants, too.\n\nNow (as someone else already mentioned) there is a "Nazi mysticism" movement, about which you can read more at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazi_mysticism

No, that's pretty accurate. The other 4% were Jews and other Christian faiths. Hitler was Austrian, and raised a Catholic.\nOne little side-bar, as long as we're discussing Nazi Germany: One of the first things Hitler did when coming to power was to ban all abortions, citing them as an "abomination." Thought that was interesting, considering what happened later.

Fantastic question!  Take the Christian belief that each of the 10 commandments are all equally as bad as the other and that all you have to do to get to heaven is repent for all of these sins.  That would mean that if people like Charles Manson on their death bed simply prayed for forgiveness and truly felt that what they did was wrong, then he would go to heaven.  Yet if a person disliked their parents who beat them and called the police, got them thrown in jail and never had contact with them again, even if the parents tried to apologize, and the person never felt bad about it, they would be denied entry into heaven because they weren't sorry or repentant for breaking the commandment of "Honor thy Father and thy Mother..."  This, by the way, is the same god that a good chunk of Christians believe will not allow a child into heaven if the parents did not have him/her baptized.  I think at some point we have to ask ourselves if there is a God, is he simply ticked off that somewhere, someone made up rules and stories of things they claim he said to do and that to this day millions of people hold those beliefs and spread them, that perhaps he's allowing the world to suffer a bit to get them to stop being sheep, following blindly, spreading hate and intolerance for others (I'm talking here about those like the "Christians" who protest at private funerals for our millitary personnel killed in Iraq by saying that God is punishing us for allowing homosexuality).  \n\nThink about this:  The 21st ecumenical council was announced by Pope John XXIII on January 25, 1959.  This council said that \nit was acceptable for woman to pursue pastorate positions because there was a shortage of priests at the time. Many parishes then allowed female pastorates and they rapidly gained popularity. However in 1994, the Pope John Paul II wrote a letter of decree banning further talk of ordaining women as priests.   Many women took demotions to comply with the writings of one man, who with one letter simply changed what had been acceptable for nearly 40 years.  \n\nHistory is full of "rules" that have changed in the Roman Catholic church, simply on the whim of the Pope and changing societal beliefs.  Who knows, next thing, maybe there will be degrees of heaven and hell and we'll all have to pay money to improve our lot in life.  In that case, the consequences for lying might be 3 hours a day in hell, the rest in heaven....\n\nSo, I'm thinking if there is a God, he's just ticked off that everyone is missing the basic message of be good to each other and do your best to be a good person.  And until people stop interpreting supposed facts and happenings in ways that suit them at the time, we're all in big trouble.

Amen brother.\n\nDid you see the South Park episode where Saddam gets sent to heaven for punishment.\n\n\nIt gives me the shudders just thinking about it- no choices, no sex, no yogurt flavored pretzels...\nIf you ask me the best way to be a dictator is to convince everyone your the "good" guy. That's what Hitler did.\n"God" is no different.

No he is not . For when God forgives he also removes the sin and remembers it no more.\nremember removing sin does not do away with the consequence of sin. For example you commit adultery get caught and the husband shoots your arm off . God will forgive the act if you repent as David did .yet you must still live with the results of your actions. Just as David did.\nYet David is spoken of in scriptures as a man after Gods own heart.
