If Hitler was a Christian and repented of his sins do Christians believe that he is in heaven?

Answer 1

Yes....in fact, his ideas were not too far from mainstream Christianity of the 1930s.

Answer 2

Many Christians will say yes, if he truly had Christ in his heart. Now I ask you....does that make sense? Nope.
See, Hitler can go to heaven but not a single righteous Jew, Atheist, Muslim, Budist, Taoist, ex-communicated Christian can ever get to heaven and walk beside God and Hitler. The most beautiful souls in the world, and the majority of good people locked out....but Hitler gets to go? Nonsense.

Answer 3

Hitler was a Catholic so that made him a Christian. I don't know whether God forgave him his transgressions even if he repented in the end. I don't believe he has gone to heaven for Christ has not yet come to judge the "living and the dead".

Answer 4

Wow, so many Christians (above) really haven't got a clue. Hitler was raised a Catholic and attended mass while he was ruling Germany. He even enjoyed two audiences with two different Popes while he was Fuhrer. Before WWII, the Catholic church kept Germany's genealogical records and Hitler's government paid the church for the names of German citizens who were one-quarter Jewish or greater. (No evidence suggests the church knew about the death camps.) The only reason the Fuhrer couldn't qualify for Heaven is that he committed suicide, rather than allow himself to fall into Allied hands. It's all well documented history, folks -- no mystery about it.

Answer 5

First you have to define "Christian." Most Protestant churches and the Catholics only recognize those who adhere to the Nicene Creed (from the Council of Nicea) as Christians, eliminating all others from that claim. Apparently, to some belief in Christ does not qualify you as being a Christian.
Hitler believed in Christ and in fact, referred to "the Creed" -
I have followed [the Church] in giving our party program the character of unalterable finality, like the Creed. The Church has never allowed the Creed to be interfered with. It is fifteen hundred years since it was formulated, but every suggestion for its amendment, every logical criticism, or attack on it, has been rejected. The Church has realized that anything and everything can be built up on a document of that sort, no matter how contradictory or irreconcilable with it. The faithful will swallow it whole, so long as logical reasoning is never allowed to be brought to bear on it. [Adolf Hitler, from Rauschning, _The Voice of Destruction_, pp. 239-40]

If Christians believe in the Atonement (as they should) they would also have to make room for forgiveness. If you believe that man will be judged according to his knowledge and understanding, then you might therefore, believe that Hitler would go to "Heaven" because he thought that what he was doing was right. It's a known fact that Hitler suffered from some mental impairments and as such, he might not have been totally responsible for his actions. BTW, I'm not condoning what Hitler did or making excuses for him. I'm only saying that in an eternal perspective, maybe there's more waiting for him than we think.

Answer 6

Some Christians would believe he would be if he repented but i believe Hitler will be in hell because he committed suicide and this in the Roman catholic church is unforgivable.

Great question because it really gets you thinking about forgiveness and what being a christian really means. .

Thankfully the decision lies solely with God about who gets in to Heaven.

Answer 7

IF he was a christian, and IF he had felt sorry for what he had done, and IF he repented, then yes he would go to heaven. There is no sin to big for God to forgive.

Answer 8

If he repented? then he is in HEAVEN, but before that!
we must know what is the meaning of REPENT

REPENT - means "to change one's mind," or, "to change direction."

It works like this: The Holy Spirit, in perfect harmony with the Bible, causes us to feel a deep sorrow for our sinfulness. This sorrow brings us to a spiritual posture where we are willing to permit God to make a change in our destiny and in our life. From out of a sorrowful heart we ask Him to forgive us of our perfonal sins.

Have Hitler ever done that?

Answer 9

Anyone COULD be in heaven. Hitler is an example of someone highly likely to be someplace entirely different. However, all men are sinners. It is a matter of degree. None of us DESERVE heaven, but God's mercy through the salvation of his only Son, is always possible. The final judgment is up to God. Salvation for us and for those we know or care about is a matter of hope. God bless you.

Answer 10

If he truly repented and accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior - then yes.
Did he? No one knows except God.
If he committed suicide then still no one knows except God - I believe that some people are so mentally ill that they don't know what they are doing and if they commit suicide they could still be in heaven. And you have to know anyone who hates another race is mentally ill or just plain ignorant. And by the way Christians don't hate Jews.

Answer 11

Not necessarily

He had to be really sorry for what he did and Hitler really believed that he was right so unless he realised his mistakes and the end of his life and apologised, then no he is not in Heaven.
