Did you know that Hitler was a devout Christian?

Question

Hitler was born and baptized into Catholicism

His Jewish antisemitism came from his Christian background.

His early personal notes shows his interest in religion and Biblical views.

He believed that the Bible represented the history of mankind.

His Nazi party platform (their version of a constitution) included a section on Positive Christianity, and he never removed it.

He confessed his Christianity.

He tried to establish a united Reich German Church.

Hitler allowed the destruction of Jewish synagogues and temples, but not Christian churches.

He encouraged Nazis to worship in Christian churches.

He spoke of his Christian beliefs in his speeches and proclamations.

His contemporaries, friends, Protestant ministers and Catholics priests, including the Vatican, thought of Hitler as a Christian.

The Catholic Church never excommunicated Hitler. He died a Catholic.

Answer 1

Hitler used Christianity as a political ploy and shield. He was neither a practicing Catholic nor a devout Christian of any kind.

He decided to charge the Jews with the responsibility for "killing Christ" because it suited his political aims.

Master of the big lie, Hitler would have happily converted to Judaism if it furthered his political agenda.

Hitler claimed that his third reich was going to last for a thousand years.

This was "code language" that all his followers understood to mean that Hitler was the Messiah, and that he was ushering in the promised millenial kingdom.

This flies in the face of Christianity, and aligns Hitler much more closely with anti-christ.

Nobody who knew Hitler thought of him as a Christian. The few corrupt clergy he managed to intimidate, buy off, or persuade in other ways, were trotted out as often as possible, for show, and purely in order to make a political statement.

His commanders and soldiers were encouraged to appear at Christian worship services for the same reason. The only God they worshipped was their feuhrer.

Hitler's hatred for Jews, and other "non-Arians" was irrational and diabolical. He killed not only six million Jews, but another four to six million people of many other nationalities and creeds, including about one million Catholics.

The pope actively opposed Hitler, and was the first and only world leader to openly speak out against him, as he rose to power, in the late 1930's.

Hitler often threatened to invade the Vatican, which maintained only a small, lightly armed force of dedicated Swiss Guards, which would likely have been no trouble at all for the Nazi's to overcome.

But for some reason, Hitler wimped out. He never got up the nerve to challenge the forces of the one, true God, so the Vatican's sovereignity was maintained, even though all the rest of Italy was occupied by German forces.

The SS Commander of the Nazi garrison in Rome was unable to prevent the Vatican from aiding, hiding, and sheltering some 300,000 Jews.

After the war, the same Nazi commander spent years in jail as a war criminal, finally converting to Catholicism (for real, this time) shortly before he died.

The church did not need to excommunicate Hitler. His excommunication would have been automatic, based on the very serious and diabolical nature of his many crimes against humanity.

As for judging exactly what he was when he died, I leave that to God.

Answer 2

Hitler is then a classic example of how an individual cannot be "born" into a family who is "Christian" and then be one like some sort of birthright. The choice to accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior must be made by each one of us. Clearly Hitler did not know the Word - or he would have known that the Jews were/are God's "chosen people", and would not have murdered so many of them.

While works does not get you into heaven, nor make you a Christian, it's clear in the Word that a true living Christian exemplifies Christ. And we all know Hitler was anything but Christlike. He may have died a "Catholic" by "religion" and going through some religious motions, but there's no evidence of a commitment to our Savior.

So if your point is to try to make Christians look "bad" because Hitler proclaimed to be one of "us" - try again!

You, just like Hitler, must make a choice.

Answer 3

Hitler wasn't a true Christian even if he was baptized as an infant or spoke about Christianity in a speech or two. It is widely known that Hitler was deep into the occult. Also, he committed suicide.

Most Nazis were atheists. There hearts were so puffed up with themselves there were no limits to their perverseness and cruelty. They were intellectually advanced, but morally decrepit to say the least.

BTW, my dad just got back from watching the World Cup in Germany. He watched one of the games from a restaurant in in a very beautiful and modern/ state of the art mall in Germany. He said that a group men were sitting a few tables away. An older man joined the group greeting them "Hiel Hitler" and all of them replied "Hiel" right back at him. They were straight faced as can be. My dad was incredulous. He thought it a paradox to be in such a beautiful place with such heinous people (the group of men). Other than that, my parents said that the German people were kind and friendly.

Answer 4

Did you know you don't know what you're talking about? A devout Christian DOES NOT INDULGE IN THE OCCULT! and Hitler was involved with the Occult

http://logosresourcepages.org/Occult/hitler.htm

The man was also Antichrist - setting his image up over Baptismals where infants were baptized by the Roman Catholic Churches and while he (as did the catholic church) went against the teachings of Jesus - hence it is IMPOSSIBLE for him to be Christian and he does not represent Christianity - no matter how much you wish that to be true.

I can prove my case (and have). Just because someone calls him or her self a Christian does not make one a Christian. Anybody and everybody it seems that has a notion refers to themselves as Christian and does not even know what that entails.

Answer 5

A devout Christian isn't Catholic. And a Catholic is not a devout Christian. A Catholic is a devoutly deceived cultist. So in answer to your question, "Did you know that Hitler was a devout Christian?" -- the answer is NO I DIDN'T KNOW. Because knowledge is based on truth, not falsehood. AS far as the Antichrist goes, Hitler was just an h'dourve. The Antichrist to come will make Hitler look like an altar boy. The Catholic Church calls itself "Christian" but, in reality, it is full of the "false christs" the bible warned us about - wolves in sheep's clothing.

Answer 6

There will always be those that will come in the of the Lord but in fact are false teachers. Christ Himself said to "beware of false teachers who would come" in His name. Even the Devil believes in God and trembles with fear, for he KNOWS God and God's power far exceeds his; he is doomed.

Hitler falls into the false teacher category. He would use whatever means he needed- and did, to con the German people into believing his message and buy into his agenda. Christianity as laid out in the Bible is nothing like what Hitler practiced. To say Hitler was an example of being a "Christian" goes against everything Christ himself taught. Even if the Catholic church has not ex-communicated Hitler, God will deal with him personally. The Catholic church had not forgiven the Jewish people for the death of Christ. They failed to see it was God's plan, that it was the Romans who actually killed Christ, not Jews although they facilitated it. Of course Christ had the last say via the resurrection.

To simply pull part of the truth from history is not telling the whole truth, but a devils truth.
Had Hitler really believed the Bible, he'd of known that whoever cursed Isreal God would curse him but whoever blessed Isreal God would also bless them.

We see where Hitler and his place in history is today. No memorials, no accolades, no positive mention of Adolf Hitler in history, not even a marked grave. A truely fitting ending for a truely mad man.

God's word is complete, can stand up to testing, and is all mankind needs. When man perverts it for his purposes, it is no longer God's word but man's word. The problem with mankind and Christianity is that Christianity is so simple that man can not believe that is all there is to it and seeks other things beyond God's will.

Answer 7

He died a catholic.. So he was not a true Christian. He believed in pagan rites and worshipping Mary. That's not Christian..that's Marianism. Being born in the Catholic church does not make you saved or a Christian.

Hitler appropriated the use of a social system....he worked on the technique of teaching propeganda in public schools, brain washing folks to believe in an evil scape goat (the Jews), etc. What are our kids taught today? Evolutionary propeganda, that God doesn't exist, that the Jews are bad, etc. Hmm..sound familiar?

Answer 8

Being born into and baptised into a religion does not make one a Christian the Bible says that true Christians show love toward their fellow man regardless of their fellow man's beliefs or race or colour and Hitler did not show love toward his fellow man, so I fail to see how he can be called a devout Christian, and just because he was not excommunicated does not make him a devout Christian either,While I do not judge him personaly, his actions do show him up, it is well known about how he acted, and as the saying goes, actions speak louder than words just so, a person may say they are Cristian but that in itself will not make them be one!

Answer 9

He was also a very strict vegetarian. So, what does that prove?

He was a certified lunatic and should have been placed in an insane assylum when he was young. That would have been a very Christian thing to have done for the poor bastard. We could have avoided all this mess which was caused by the little weasel, who had a problem getting laid from the very beggining!

Answer 10

What do you wants to say with this. That Hitler and the rest of the world were not crazy and that the destruction and the second world war was because of Hitler beliefs? I think everybody has to be blame. They were just standing there and let Hitler destroy the world. And what about the black holocaust?
