It is estimated that there are 30,000 different types of Christianity in the world today , ‘ Positive Christianity ‘ – the choice of Hitler, is but one of the 30,000 variations .
Where do we draw the line?
Are we Drawing lines in the Sand ?
Are the Atheist Christians real Christians ?
Not to mention the Mormons , the JW’s , the ‘ Jews for Jesus ‘ and ROMAN Christians , who just so happen to have all the answers buried in the Vatican ?
Soz for the Headline-catching question, when does a Christian stop ( or Start ) being a Christian ? How much ‘ Belief in the Heart ‘ is required to be a Christian ? Enough to kill another person ?

Pastor Art / Michael Kelly are top runners for the 10 Points so far .
Too many half truths for me to decide.
RedE1 : Germany , UK , Hitler , USA , Italy , Spain etc etc were the enemy of the Soviet Union because they were atheistic ... have u read history ? ( Politics was also involved )
Michael ... Hitler was born a Baby . In China he would have be born into the Church of ‘ I love and respect my parents , in Peru he would have been born into sacrificing his cute female relations to the rain God Chac .

Hitler was a half Jew and Austrian.
He follow the Roman Catholic belief but the Roman Catholic doesn't follow Christ but the Pope. He was in fact was the person who made a deal with the pope to make Germany accept Catholic over Protestant. How does that make him a Christian?
And you thought the pope was innocent at the WWII when he should have help US and the allies but wait the Italian army was helping the Axis so that was be called compromising.
Why would a Christian kill and murder Jew?
A major ignorant debate that being play by athesit that doesn't have too much time on their hand to do their own research. Why should you make history for us like the 9/11 conspiracy theory?

Hello,
No. Hitler was born RC but he left the church and its sacraments at a very early age. He and many of his staff had little use for religion but realized that it was quite a powerful force and could not be easily stomped out. They had to tolerate it for their time being. Sometimes Hitler would praise Christianity in one speech but contradict himself and say it was incompatible with National Socialism in the next.
Martin Bormann and a few others eventually wanted to see Christianity eliminated and had the Reich lasted 1000 years they may well have gone for that goal.
"When we [National Socialists] speak of belief in God, we do not mean, like the naive Christians and their spiritual exploiters, a man-like being sitting around somewhere in the universe. The force governed by natural law by which all these countless planets move in the universe, we call omnipotence or God. The assertion that this universal force can trouble itself about the destiny of each individual being, every smallest earthly bacillus, can be influenced by so-called prayers or other surprising things, depends upon a requisite dose of naivety or else upon shameless professional self-interest"
Cheers,
Michael Kelly
Edit - Certainly Hitler was born into the Catholic faith and initiated into it through is parents as others are in other beliefs but as soon as he was free to reason for himself and make his own decisions, he pulled the plug. I guess an analogy would be that I was born here in Canada and automatically I am a Canadian citizen by birth but once I turn 18 I have the choice of moving on to another country, renouncing my formal citizenship and becoming a citizen of that country, severing all previous ties and in reality I should no longer be called a Canadian.

If I am not mistaken, Hitler would have scorned a Jewish-based religion. Nietzsche, one of the philosophical inspirations of National Socialism, considered Christianity a slave religion and one not suitable for a master race. Naziism was modelled on the Roman Empire which was basically lacking any religion except for some vague idea of the Emperor as a deity.

The god that is so adored by so many ... was a murderer of children, women, entire villages, on and on..drowned thousands..burned, mutilated.. That's deluded thinking...
Then comes this jesus fellow who apparently gets nailed to a cross and dies a terrible death ...and his father allows it.
What a strange belief system religion is and there is no line in the sand, people will just keep changing and deluding the facts to suit their need for a "savior"..or an excuse to get away with atrocities

Christianity is a doomsday cult, and always has been, regardless of the denomination.
Humanity today needs enlightenment. And very few religions provide that. As soon as dogma gets involved, enlightenment and reason go out the window.

Hitler was not a Christian. He was a Darwinistic Athiest.
There is only one requirement to be a "Christian". That is to trust fully in Jesus Christ as your savior. I have never heard of an Athiest Christian but it is an oxymoron. Mormons and and JW's do not fully trust in Christ but rely partially on their own works. They also have a different God and Christ than Christians do. "Jews for Jesus" are Christians, quit calling them that. ROMAN Christians? I assume you mean Catholics, have a different idea of the means of salvation. I am not fully convinced of what I believe about Catholosism in regards to true Christianity. There are thousands of denominations that have small minor differences, but for the sake of not argueing over these differences, they have just formed different churches, but all still have some fellowship together as brothers and sisters in Christ.
This goup is callled Judeo-Christians. They are the broader group of true Christians that hold to the same essential doctorine.

Those who estimate there are 30,000 different types of Christians in the world today are pretty naive.
See my answer to this question to learn why that number of 30,000 really should be about 500.

If you had any real interest in history, you'd know that Hitler tried to resurrect Germanic Paganism in the midst of WWII. He strongarmed the German churches into silence. That hardly qualifies him as Christian!

Did Hitler delude himself into being a British agent?
You answer me that.

No he pretty much fit the bill.
Hitler was not only a confessed Christian, but his intolerance and atrocities were consistent with Biblical scripture and he acted as other Christians of the past and present.
Hitler wrote: "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.." As a boy, Hitler attended to the Catholic church and experienced the anti-Semitic attitude of his culture. In his book, Mein Kampf, Hitler reveals himself as a fanatical believer in God and country. This text presents selected quotes from the infamous anti-Semite himself.
