What religion was Hitler?

Question

think he was forgiven?

Answer 1

Born and Baptized a Catholic.

The RCC catechism says only God can judge....but - I wouldn't want to be ol' Adolf at the Last Judgment.

Answer 2

For SOME reason or another, most people think Hitler's mother was Jewish.. NOT TRUE!

His father, Alois Hitler, (born Schicklgruber), was a minor customs official; and his mother, Klara Pölzl, (Alois' second cousin), was his father's third wife. Because of the close kinship of the two, a special papal dispensation had to be obtained before the marriage could take place, because both Alois and Klara were ROMAN CATHOLIC.

Adolf Hitler was brought up in his family's religion by his Roman Catholic parents, but as a school boy he began to reject the Church and Catholicism. After he had left home, he never attended Mass or received the Sacraments.

In later life, Hitler's religious beliefs present a discrepant picture:

In public statements, he frequently spoke positively about the Christian heritage of German culture and belief in Christ.

Hitler’s private statements, reported by his intimates, are more mixed, showing Hitler as a religious man but also critical of Christianity.

However, in contrast to other Nazi leaders, Hitler did not adhere to esoteric ideas, occultism, or neo-paganism, and RIDICULED such beliefs in his book "Mein Kampf".

Rather, Hitler MADE UP HIS OWN RELIGION called "Positive Christianity", a belief system purged from what he objected to in traditional Christianity, in this new religion he reinvented Jesus as a fighter against the Jews.

Hope that answers your question.

Answer 3

Hitler was a pagan who masqueraded as a Christian until he gained the power he fooled the German people into giving him, and was allied with muslims in his attempt to murder all Jews.
While it is up to God, I doubt Hitler was forgiven because my guess is Hitler never repented and asked Jesus to forgive him.

Answer 4

Hitler created his own religion. He was into a kind of mysticism. He was also into mind-altering drugs.
Do I think he was forgiven? Absolutely NOT!! The Bible says you have to ASK for forgiveness. Hitler couldn't have asked for forgiveness, because he proceeded to commit suicide and suicide is a MORTAL sin.

Answer 5

It is widely acknowledged that the most authoritative statement on Hitler's beliefs and plans was his infamous book "Mein Kampf". Yet while this book is known worldwide for its hateful nature, few have ever read it and fewer still have identified the voluminous statements within that clearly mark Adolf Hitler as a Christian. There are many such statements, and they reveal a great deal about his motivations like
I thank Heaven that a portion of the memories of those days still remains with me. Woods and meadows were the battlefields on which the 'conflicts' which exist everywhere in life were decided."3 (Hitler believed in Heaven).

"I was not in agreement with the sharp anti-Semitic tone, but from time to time I read arguments which gave me some food for thought. At all events, these occasions slowly made me acquainted with the man and the movement, which in those days guided Vienna's destinies: Dr. Karl Lueger and the Christian Social Party ... The man and the movement seemed 'reactionary' in my eyes. My common sense of justice, however, forced me to change this judgment in proportion as I had occasion to become acquainted with the man and his work; and slowly my fair judgment turned to unconcealed admiration. Today, more than ever, I regard this man as the greatest German mayor of all times ... How many of my basic principles were upset by this change in my attitude toward the Christian Social movement! My views with regard to anti-Semitism thus succumbed to the passage of time, and this was my greatest transformation of all."4 (Hitler was inspired to become a radical anti-Semite by the Viennese Christian Social movement, whose attitudes are almost identical to the far-right American Christian fundamentalist movement today).

"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."5 (Hitler obviously believed in a supreme being).

Answer 6

I think he was born int Catholic faith. But he was not following Christ.
I cannot answer if he is forgiven because I do not know what happened before he died. I leave it to God. If I see him in heaven, I am OK with that because I put my faith In God and He knows what is the best. In heaven we will have perfect understanding.

Answer 7

It believed his mother was Jewish and his father was Christian, however, Hitler tended towards the occult and had a fascination with Norse gods. As for being forgiven, I guess that depends on what you believe.

Answer 8

I don't think Hitler had a religion; he grew up Catholic but rejected the church. He developed his own little cult called Nazism later on.

Answer 9

Hitler was a catholic-but not a Christian, it is common. Many do not understand this. The catholic church put Hitler in power. Don't forget "the Holy Roman Empire" was Germany.
I doubt he went to heaven.

Answer 10

Hitler said he was catholic to please the Pope of that day, but he also worked along side the Arab Islamic chief priest. Hitler was of his father the devil, but he was not a Christian. Hitler proclaimed to be many things as does any politician wanting power.
