If Hitler accepted Jesus would he go to heaven? The answer is yes. How does that make Christianity look bad?

Question

I would contend that is the faith of the Christian, that any sinner can get forgiven,

the whole hitler thing can be shown in the Bible with Saul who became Paul, and admits in Galatians how he killed Christians and then became one.

How does that make Christianity look bad. It is what it is.

THeir faith is don't sin but you are a sinner so accept "jesus" and then get a reward . heaven.

That doesn't make it look bad, its only absurd cause, well, THERES NO PROOF OF GOD.

Thanks, your thoughts?

Answer 1

There is no scriptural basis for accepting Jesus as your personal savior. God's plan is spelled out in Acts 2:38. Check it out for yourself.

Answer 2

To repent is to really be sorry for sinning and to do your best to turn away from sin. To be forgiven you must have faith that you are forgiven. That said if Hitler asked for forgiveness and then killed himself then the fear of not being forgiven would nullify his repentance and he would go to hell. Here are a couple of reasons, 1) If Hitler believed that what he did was right then he would have not repented for what he did. 2) If he repented and did not mean it, and hoped that would get him in, he will not be forgiven. 3) If asked asked for forgiveness he was forgiven, but if he sinned after and died then that forgiveness is for past sins and the sin of killing your self would be held against him and he would not go to heaven. 4) If you spend your life in sin, then the longer you was in sin, the harder it will be to accept you are forgiven and you have to accept God's forgiveness to recieve it. You have to let Jesus in to your heart, if Hitler killed himself then he didn't really accept Jesus. God looks at a mans heart, and not his deeds. God choses who gets in to heaven. There are people who try to earn salvation and will not recieve it. If you accept Christ you have given you life to God, and if you do not do His will, but are still rebelious then to forfit the gift of salvation. Read Matthew 25:11-46. It says that there are Christians who will not get into Heaven. God isn't a dumby to be tricked by some man. If in yiour heart you desire to be with God, He will fulfill that desire, but if you have a desire not to be with Him, He will fulfill that desire as well. There are a couple of parables that say some people are from God and some people from the devil. It also says that the people from the devil are dwelling with the people of God.(Matthew 13:24-43) There is an idea that anyone who calls on the name of Jesus will be saved, but Jesus makes clear that not every Christian will be saved. Even Christians will be judged or have to giive an account for their life. The bible also talks about God's elected people, meaning people chosen by God for His purpose and salvation, churches like to preach everyone will be saved because it is good for buiness. In some places it says that, but in most it says that a person must repent and turn away from sin. Think of ot this way, if you committ a crime and stand in front of a judge, and you say "I'm really sorry", should a good judge let you go? No. Now what if someone stood up from the back seats and said "I seen into his heart and I believe that he is sorry and does not want to do more crimes, so I'll pay his fine." And the judge says "O.K. I'll let you go." And then the man turns to you and says "Go and committ no more crimes." Should you take aventage of that mans kindness and do what ever you want, because you think that man will help you the next time?

Answer 3

I don't think it should. Sure Hitler murdered up a whole bunch of folks, but this would cancel out if presumably those people also accepted Christ or whatever and go to Heaven. There all things will be forgotten that are bad, so it doesn't really matter in the long term if Stalin or Pol Pot or whoever gets in.

Answer 4

If you ask for forgiveness, then God forgives you. But the question of IF Hitler. The question is IF . People like to screw up, reason's in regards to Christianity. We are darned if we do and darned if we don't. So to try to figure out what if , is such a waste of time. Hitler commited suicide and if you know the Commandments, it says: Thou Shalt Not Kill ! Hitler killed Thousands and himself. So what does that tell you ??? IF he went to hearven ? Only God knows that answer. I just hope and pray, that when Judgement day comes, I will be able to see who got to Heaven. We all might have a big surprise.
Yes there is proof of God. Look all around you. In the Holy Bible it tells, that God made the Heavens and Earth. Study about the other planets. No life on there. Why is Earth so full of life and productivity ? Look at the trees in your yard. Sure sign of God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and Earth. It says in the Holy Bible, Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and Thou Shalt Be Saved !!!

Answer 5

There is so very many proofs of God that I could write a book on it. What someone does in life and then dies is between them and God. Not one person can tell if another will go to Heaven or Hell when they die. Sometimes that's a personal thing and not even the family knows for sure. What difference does it make to you if you are an atheist whether Hitler dies and goes to Heaven or Hell. You being an atheist know for sure where you will go when you die. No one else will ever know for sure but you.

Answer 6

Sorry, but simply accepting Christ isn't a person's automatic ticket to heaven. It doesn't work that way. First of all, the gift of life in heaven is only held out to a very small group of humans. It's considered a gift that only God can give, because God's original purpose for man was for them to live forever on the earth, not for them to go to heaven. Secondly, it's God's choice as to who is given that gift of heavenly life. Certainly it would be held out to one who has accepted Christ, but if they're not extended the invitation by God's holy spirit, then they would have the earthly hope.

Answer 7

Muslims have faith that God took Jesus to heaven, and made Judah look in basic terms like him so he ought to get crucified in Jesus' place. Makes even much less experience than the unique fairytale

Answer 8

Hitler committed suicide, so he forfeited any salvation.

Forgiveness does not make Christianity look bad, if anything it makes Christianity look better. We all could take a lesson from the Amish community in forgiveness.

It is highly apparent that by the rambling nature of your question, that you don't believe in God or Jesus. Therefore any further comment would be fruitless. However you have been told and maybe know deep in your heart the truth.

If you truly didn't believe in God, then you would let those who do live in peace and to enjoy their freedom of worship.

Answer 9

Repentance does not make Christianity look bad. In fact, it shows clearly the Grace of God. One doesn't accept Jesus to get a reward, one accepts Him because the need of Pardon for sin is so great. Only the repentant can clearly see that. When one experiences the grace of the pardon, God's reality is clearly experienced as well.

Answer 10

God has never concerned himself with his image. And the truth is his ability to forgive is much greater than mans. Your argument doesn't really provide a basis for unbelief rather one that says if I was God I would have done things different....better. As far as Hitler goes the problem is most people who hardened their heart to that degree usually have few thoughts of regret.
