According to Christians, the only prerequisite for gaining passage into heaven is to accept Jesus into your life as your lord and savior and be saved.
Much controversy swarms around whether or not Hitler was a Christian. Assuming he was or if he accepted Christ on his deathbed, then according to Christians, Adolf Hiller would be in heaven, while the six million innocent Jewish lives that were tortured, gassed and massacared would be sent immediately to Hell!
How can Christians live such a life of hypocrisy? How can they not see the holes in what they are taught?
Christians believe that anyone could be saved; Hitler, Arafat, Osama bin Laden; just accept Jesus and it's that easy.

First of all, we don't believe that non-Christians are going to hell.
Next, I have an idea of where Hitler is now, but we cannot judge the souls of others. Humans are not capable of doing this, that is why we no longer follow the old Testament rules of Stoning people for Adultery, because there can be redemption.
Just because we will not come out and say that we know for 100% certainty that Hitler is in hell, that does not mean that we think he is in heaven, we just cannot judge and we are not supposed to judge, and our opinion would not change where Hitler is anyway so it is a waste of time.
We have our own salvation to attend to.
Good Luck and God Bless!

It's true, that many do not understand the forgiveness offered by The Son of God. True, Hitler did unspeakable things in his lifetime and our minds demand justice for such atrocities.
One reason so many in Jesus' day wanted to kill Him was because of His reasoning and ablity to forgive sins. As God in the flesh, the Creator,the One Who Is, Jesus' forgiveness
to others was seen as scandalous. By your own words, it is scandalous to you too.
It is a great thing that Jesus' offer of forgiveness is so extravagant; so many people have been able to turn their lives around and do good for our world and country because they were so powerfully forgiven by Him.
The Creator of all living things may forgive whomever he wishes; He made us all.
Don't let your hearts be like stone, you may also receive an incredible amount of forgiveness and mercy before life is all said and done. Be glad for a loving Savior who is able to
place all our sins so very far from us and in the end count us as clean as though we had never messed up at all.
Believe !

The belief in Jesus comes when a person is fully dedicated to living their lives for God. In this aspect, the person has full love in their heart for all people, they follow the path of righteousness, and dedicate their lives for helping others. Simply saying that you think Jesus is the Messiah is not enough to get one to heaven. If one believes that Jesus is the Messiah with all of their heart, they will show it in their words and actions. Hitler did not carry out the works of Jesus nor show Jesus' love to all people. Jesus was born Jewish and died Jewish. He is still Jewish while he is reigning in heaven. Hitler was not a true believer in Jesus so he went to hell.

Hitler didn't have a "deathbed." He killed himself in a bunker, like the coward he was. There is no indication Hitler ever repented and believed the Gospel -- not in his youth, nor at the end of his life. He died unsaved and is in the same place as ALL men who tried to kill God's chosen people (such as Haman, Antioch IV Epiphanes, Stalin, etc.) -- HELL.

Hitler was not a Christian. And the truth to that quesiton will remain between Hitler and God. What is most important is whether or not you are a Christian and where you will be spending eternity. Have you asked yourself that question lately. It's far more important than knowing if Hitler made it to heaven or not.

Yes, anyone can be saved and I don't see a hypocrisy at all. Clearly you aren't honest if you claim to know Christ and kill 6 million Jews, but if he confessed on his deathbed and was sincere (something God judges) then salvation is his. What "holes" are there? Because you don't like the rules, doesn't make them wrong.

Hitler committed suicide, so he cannot be in heaven, and lets just say for the sake of arguements that he was captured by the Russians and after a short trial was executed, but before thenm he accepted Christ as Lord and savior (I mean really did) would he be ini heaven, read this passage from the Bible it answers that.
Mat 20:1 ¶ For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man [that is] an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire labourers into his vineyard.
Mat 20:2 And when he had agreed with the labourers for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard.
Mat 20:3 And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace,
Mat 20:4 And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you. And they went their way.
Mat 20:5 Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise.
Mat 20:6 And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle?
Mat 20:7 They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, [that] shall ye receive.
Mat 20:8 So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the labourers, and give them [their] hire, beginning from the last unto the first.
Mat 20:9 And when they came that [were hired] about the eleventh hour, they received every man a penny.
Mat 20:10 But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every man a penny.
Mat 20:11 And when they had received [it], they murmured against the goodman of the house,
Mat 20:12 Saying, These last have wrought [but] one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.
Mat 20:13 But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny?
Mat 20:14 Take [that] thine [is], and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee.
Mat 20:15 Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?
Mat 20:16 So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

Unfortunately Christianity became Churchianity at the time of Constantine and traveled downhill thenceforth. They became a system of believers rather than practitioners. Deluded by their tarnished doctrines this is the exact way they believe and many are earnest in their view. It's an easy way out and therefore for many individuals and collectives it's a choice of convenience

Hitler's not going to heaven. Neither is Arafat or Osama. And neither is Bush, Falwell, Robertson, or anybody else.
Because there's *no such thing.* The only place these people, like everybody else, "went" is into the ground, either as ashes, pieces, or a whole body that'll decompose. No heaven, it's just a superstitious myth. Christian myths are irrelevant -- there's no evidence of any kind that their myths are correct. Any of them.
Please try to grow up -- it's the 21st century, don't you think it's time to leave ancient fairy tales and myths behind, and join the modern world?
Peace.
