im a free thinker but i was brought to believe that its better to believe than to not believe. there was once that people try to convert me to believe in christ which i never did because i felt if i didnt have faith, why should i.
below are all my opinionated questions and answer to people. they are of my doubt and of question.my opinions
to sarge : man made book like the bible? i do believe its man made too. its been translated so many times. translation means changing the text of a language to another. but then, does it mean that, after many thousands years of many translation, the meaning did not change at all? try any translator or translating website. not ever single word that is translated has the exact meaning of the correct word.
to tide -> he may done wrong things, but to him, it was correct. it is a choice of preference. you may do something wrong, but to other it may be right. so hitler may still feel what he did was right. furthermore, being a christian, doesnt mean that they are saints and who do not wrong.
to catholicmom -> if hitler did have faith and did ask for fogivness, would he have rosen up to heaven?
thedecider20 -> your answre is great. no biasness.
last but not least, my answer is that. religion has many loopholes that we are not able to answer. to many years of doubt and question. i have not believe in christ not believe in anything else. its not because i dont want to, its that, i cant. why should i accept the religion when i dont believe. thats is my stand.
there was once when someone that wanted to convert me to accept christ. she listed out that i did not believe in chirst, i would go to hell. which of course spook me, but if i were to believe in christ, just so that i would go to heaven, im not believing in christ, im believing in what he can gives me? some may say, you must be a strong believer, have faith and stuff. and thats why, every loophole in the bible , there would be an so called answer to it. its something that someone write which has been passed down for many generation.
think about this, if you had a book from the generations ago, and it wrote how man should live. would it be sacred? cause it was thousand of years ago? think about it.

Difficult to answer. According to one Christian, anyone who repents can be saved. According to another, one who is truly a Christian has to follow the morals and ethics of Christianity - something which is hard to do considering all the different denominations that exist.
In the end, it's simply whether you believe in god. If you do, then you also have to consider what that god (or gods if polytheistic) would want. And if you believe in heaven too. It's all choice.

Well, the devil believes in God. Is he going to heaven? there's more to it than believing in God. A person must recognize that he or she has sinned. Confess your sins to God. Ask for forgiveness. Then you must believe that Jesus Christ is our Savior and believe that He died and was raised from the dead on the third day. If Hitler did these things before his death he went to heaven. Sin is sin in God's eyes. The only unforgivable sin stated in the Bible is blasphemy of The Holy Spirit. Please read Romans 10:9-Ephesians 4:24-Titus 2:11-15

Well, from what I hear believing in God ain't enough. You gotta accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior. Now we can get into what I find to be a rather confusing part, that Jesus IS God, so perhaps if you believe in God then you really believe in Jesus.
Interestingly enough, there is substantial historical evidence to show that Hitler WAS a Christian. Here's just one passage, in his own words from Mein Kampf:
"Hence today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the Lord."
EDIT: So, he believed that he was doing good works by "defending [him]self against the Jew."
Man this is a tough one.

Believing in God will not accomplish eternal salvation. Satan and his demons believe in God.
Jam 2:19 You believe that God is one; you do well. The demons also believe--and they shudder.
If Adoilf Hitler, before the moment of his death, did sincerely place his hope, his faith and his trust in Jesus for salvation, I believe, according to the Bible, that he would have been accepted into God's heaven.
Luk 23:39 Then one of the criminals hanging there began to yell insults at Him: "Aren't You the Messiah? Save Yourself and us!"
Luk 23:40 But the other answered, rebuking him: "Don't you even fear God, since you are undergoing the same punishment?
Luk 23:41 We are punished justly, because we're getting back what we deserve for the things we did, but this man has done nothing wrong."
Luk 23:42 Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when You come into Your kingdom!"
Luk 23:43 And He said to him, "I assure you: Today you will be with Me in paradise."
That is the nature of God; He loves us so much that He wants to give us every opportunity to come to Him.
Rom 10:9 if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Rom 10:10 With the heart one believes, resulting in righteousness, and with the mouth one confesses, resulting in salvation.
Rom 10:11 Now the Scripture says, No one who believes on Him will be put to shame,
That being said, only God knows who goes where.

No. Unfortunately he will not be in Heaven. I say unfortunately
because Hitler had great potential. Had he heeded to God
instead of satan he might have accomplished something good
in his life. As an aside, I thank God I'm not his father.
James 2;19, Thou believest there is one God; thou doest well:
the devils also believe and tremble.
I Corinthians 13;8a, Love never fails!!!!!

The Bible says that the devils also believe in God "and shudder."
A simple belief in the existence of God is not the same as a saving knowledge of Jesus Christ the Savior.
Nobody can judge another person in this life, but the evidence strongly suggests that Hitler is not in heaven.
God bless.

I wouldn't be able to imagine a place that Hitler would wind up being in. There is no salvation for one as evil as he is. There is no hope for his soul, and no matter how long his soul is purified, he will always have the evil from the millions of people he murdered. There is no amount of time, no good deeds that he could ever do to earn salvation. His soul is lost forever. He is in the darkest pits of the lowest level of hell. There is no way his soul could ever ascend to heaven with the taint of evil upon him.

I think that he had a purpose, he may have been bad but maybe that was for what he was designed for.
I think it's nonsense to think that you have one life and then spend eternity in heaven or hell..
Matter is neither created nor destroyed. .. There is a cycle of life..anyway, when your body biodegrades into dirt, every atom and molecule of you still exists, just in a different form.. remember lion king. lol
So if I were you, I'd forget the notion of heaven and think outside the box of what we've been taught and told to believe for the past two milenia

Hitler came from a devout Roman Catholic family, and he served as an altar boy. But, how the hell could some bloodthirsty maniac be in Heaven? He's in Hell with the Devil preparing to terrorize the Earth, LOL. I love your parody.
