If Hitler repented on his death bed does he go to heaven?

Question

The way I understand the catholic church and a few other born again christians the answer is yes

If Hitler asked for forgiveness and was trully repentant while on his death bed - (lets pretend someone else shot him) he gets to go to heaven

Same for Stalin same for all the others for instance pul Bernardo .....


Does thisnot seem a little poorly thought out to you ?

Soulful …

Heaven with Hitler or Hell with my friends -?

Look for me I will be with a bunch of plaid wearing farmers on the 7th level

I'l buy you a beer

Answer 1

He's there now. That's why I'm happy to be going to Hell.

Answer 2

Hitler shot himself in the head. There was no repenting. Boom, he was dead and facing judgment. This is something that people should remember --- even repentance is only granted through the grace of Christ. If a person sins way too much in a way that makes a mockery of God and religion thinking deep inside that they will repent right before they die, they better guess again because repentance is not all the time granted.

Answer 3

To a perfectly righteous God, all sin is bad sin. Whether someone (1) leads their entire life willfully sinning or (2) striving to do good things, yet still sinning (for we all sin), makes no difference to God when it comes time for genuine repentance and redemption. Folks confuse the linear passage of time we experience with how God experiences time (all at once, in the eternal now). So someone who had willfully lived a life of sin and genuinely repents at the last few moments of life gets the same consideration from a perfectly just God.

All sins, but one, can be forgiven by God for the truly repentant. That one sin is the fully knowledgeable sin of disbelief. This is the unforgivable sin. God cannot forgive the person who refuses to believe.

Since we know that the sinful thief on the cross was redeemed at the 11th hour of his death (see Lu 23:40-43), I am confident that for a truly repentant person, God would forgive their sins in te final moments of their lives. But that is God's decision to make as He is the One who truly knows the heart of the person making the claim for redemption. But, let’s consider what God would be looking for using the thief of the cross scenario:

As in the thief on the cross who repented and was redeemed by Christ, there is more required of the mental and spiritual state of such a person. I observe that the events of the thief on the cross (or the last minute repentant) were exegetical of the following required mindset of someone repenting:

1. Is deserving of just punishment for sin (Lu 23:40)
2. From testimony of the Holy Spirit (John 15:26), sees Christ was a sinless man (Lu 23:40-41), but also God (Lu 23:42)
3. Makes earnest confession (Lu 23:40-41), being convicted by the Holy Spirit (John 16:8)
4. Feels repentance of the heart and spoken by the mouth (Lu 23:40-41)
5. Possesses a true Faith (Lu 23:42)
6. Knew Christ possessed and was in authority in a Kingdom (Lu 23:42)
8. Needed no good works were required (Lu 23:43)
8. Believed Christ could forgive sins and grant eternal life. Another attribute of
God. (Lu 23:43)
9. Christ lives even after death (Lu 23:43)

It is also instructive from the thief on the cross event that other Christian doctrines are in evidence:
10. No sacraments, e.g., baptism, Lord's Supper, etc., were required (Lu 23:43)
11. There was no soul sleep after death (Lu 23:43)
12. The same message leads to death for many and eternal life for few (Lu 23:43)

Quite amazing that in only a few verses we find so many of the major Christian doctrines!

The bible suggests that the rewards in Heaven will be apportioned according to one's righteous behavior on earth. Thus, in the case of the thief on the cross, or similar scenarios, the thief's heavenly rewards would be very different from, say, a Moses, John the Baptist, or even Mother Teresa.

Answer 4

Are your minds so small that you think God's grace and salvation can't cover the bill for a man like Hitler? If so that is very small minded indeed. God himself destroyed nearly every living creature on the Earth once before... he's no stranger to death and destruction, nor is he to forgiveness on a scale we can't imagine. That is why God judges our sins and not us. We put some sins above others... and say murder is far worse than covertness or gluttony, because the latter are harder to avoid than taking someones life. I'm not God, but I would think he has a different view, and that he considers all of his commandments holy. Hitler may have killed millions... but I've sinned millions of times myself. If I counted all the times I had taken the lords name in vain, and worked on the sabbath or simply skipped church, and lied and coveted things that were not mine... I think I would have many thousands of sins myself, and before I die... I could have millions. I have Faith that my God is just that, he is God... and a God so magnificent and powerfull that it is beyond my imagination. He can forgive a man of terrible sins, even when we cannot, if that man accepts Jesus as his Lord and Savior and asks for forgiveness and it is truly what he desires in his heart then anything is possible.

Answer 5

A person is free at any time to begin the repentance process. In other words, God doesn't prevent people from doing what's right.

However, a willingness to repent doesn't erase a misspent life. We are all judged and receive blessings according to how well we keep the law we know.

Answer 6

Sure, if he truly repented, yes, he would.

It is very hard for me to logically understand God's sense of justice.

I know of this pastor in Chicago, who is originally from India. His brother had attended a church with the sole intention of finding faults with it, coming to the point of calling in local hooligans to beat up members of the local church and trash the place down, if possible. Today, he is a Christian and a wonderful member of the church.

So why did God pick him up? I don't know. You can look back at the thief who was crucified with Jesus. Barely hours before his death after living a life of robbery and, perhaps, murder, Jesus tells him that he would be Jesus in paradise.

Answer 7

If Hitler repented and trusted in Christ alone for his salvation befor his death he went into the presence God.

God’s grace is sufficient to cover the sins of all sinners even a wretched like Hitler and you & me.

Answer 8

But Hitler did not repent. Let's remember the facts over fiction.

Answer 9

But they didn't. You see, they hated God with a passion. They were destined to become Atheist. A person can be saved by truly believing Jesus is their only savior and repent from their sins. That's that the nice thing that God will still accept you.

Answer 10

Hitler was a Christian so if there was such thing as Heaven I suppose he would go there.

There is only one unforgivable sin in Christianity...

You may damn yourself to Hell however you would like, but somewhere in your video you must say this phrase: "I deny the Holy Spirit."

Why? Because, according to Mark 3:29 in the Holy Bible, "Whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin." Jesus will forgive you for just about anything, but he won't forgive you for denying the existence of the Holy Spirit. Ever. This is a one-way road you're taking here.

Answer 11

Repent is the beginning of way to heaven, is not that easy that i can do all kind of nonsenses crimes and at the end just repent and go to heaven. Is not like that.
