murder
rape
starvation
and if that isn't enough, how can a so called loving parent send his child down to earth to be slaughtered?
I don't get it?

Are you a parent?
If so, do you love your children?
If they do something wrong, do you punish them?

The Holocaust was the result of evil.
It was a terrible, terrible time. However, there are many stories of people being spared some of the more horrible aspects of the Holocaust.
As far as Jesus is concerned, that's an entirely different question. I'll touch on it briefly:
Jesus wasn't just the Son of God, He actually had the essence of God within. In other words, God imparted a portion of Himself into Jesus.
So basically, when Jesus was tortured and executed, it was God Himself taking on all of our sin so that we could be forgiven.
God was saying, "I love all of you so much, that I'll put part of Myself into human flesh, and become human Myself. Then, I'll allow Myself to take on all your sins, and bear YOUR penalty so that you can be forgiven." The wages of sin is death. Jesus took what WE were supposed to receive.
God can't look on sin. God can't be in the presence of sin. He's just, and righteous, and pure. So anyone who sinned had to bear the penalty of sin. That's why there was animal sacrifice.
Could God have done this from the beginning? Of course He could have. But He didn't, because the people He chose to send His son into had to make their mistakes first. It was a matter of perfect timing.
I'm sorry this is so long, and I probably didn't explain it very well, but it deserves much more than I can possibly express. It's a tough concept.
If I were you, I'd take it to God, and ask Him to help you understand.

the holocaust was nothing to do with God,he caused a flood that distroyed the world except for Moses and his family he clearly states that he will never do it again and he hasn't,who made the weapons that was used who did the killing,who made the bombs and who pulled the trigger all of this was done by humans for control of others,greed and wanting more just like we are today God does not condone this but he gave a brain and a conscience to make up our own minds and decide for ourselves he also gave us a living bible,if we choose not to read or take his guidence thats down to us not God to many people blame God for something we have done us humans not him God promotes in the new testement love honesty and trust is the best policy and to stand up for what you really believe in ask him and he will give you the strength to be strong

No. not if he's making an attempt to make a factor. It sounds like it incredibly is harsh, and that's, make no mistake. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, he has a plan which will enable and assure that each and every single guy or woman in the international gets the suitable comparable risk. If not of their first lifestyles, then after their resurrection. it incredibly is a substantial assure! No favoritism for the perfect, the wealthy, the wide-unfold, etc. anybody will acquire an identical skill to settle on in the event that they suspect in Christ and his sacrifice. which ability all people who died formerly Christ gets an identical risk that anybody because of the fact has, or those nonetheless interior the international that for the period of no way heard of him mutually as alive. Sounds enormously advantageous to me.

The explanation is easy. There are no Gods, no miracles or any of that kind of nonsense. Humans have freedom of thought and action. Religions are manifestations of the fears and ignorance of primitive Humans from before recorded history. With no science or a structured method of knowledge collection, Most phenomena that lay beyond the understanding of the primitive brain was put down to Gods, spirits or some such fabrication. All modern religious systems have as their foundation the degenerate conclusions of the primitive minds of our forebears. We still practice the same backward rituals in a more modern way. We are still bending our backs to superstition.

God is loving, but that doesn't mean that evil doesn't exist. Bad things happen to good people, but if nothing bad ever happened, we wouldn't need God! We would have no faith and we would never pray. Evil and good are at a constant battle and in the end, good will prevail. The holocaust is an example of why we NEED God, and He did not make it happen.
He sent his son knowing it was the only way we would ever have the hope of salvation. For someone to die in the worst possible way for us. To suffer shame and humiliating agony.. but to ultimately arise victorious. That is the ultimate display of hope. We now have hope.

He gave man the ability to have free will to pick and choose to do what he wants, and man wants to be rebellious against the rules of man or God . Jeremiah 17:9 " The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it ?". There must be payment for sin either man making that payment with spending eternity forever in the searing heat of hell , OR through Gods great love for us ,the gift of salvation through the blood of his obedient Son who paid for your sins , if you are willing to trust and believe and accept Jesus as your savior.

God didn't do it. He was there to comfort those going through it, though. It was Satan leading men astray. They could've listened to God and did good or the other way around and we all know what they chose.
If God makes decisions for man then we are no more than puppets on a string. He gave us Free Will to choose. How many times do we choose wrong?

God did not want the Holocaust to happen, that was not God. God also will not force himself on anybody. You don't want to serve Jesus, your choice, the consequences will be severe but the decision to serve is up to you. The Bible says it is better if a millstone were hanged around your neck and you cast into the see than to harm one of his children. Thats pretty severe in my book. Humans beings are sinners, we make mistakes. God is Holy, that is why Jesus Christ came to earth, to die in our place, In the book of Romans 6:23, For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. Jesus was a gift, that is how much God loved us, we are his creation and he wanted to show his love. Hitler was decieved by the devil, just like people are today, Jesus now sits at the right hand of the Father, his perfect blood shed on that cross cleanses us if we believe in our hearts. Its easy to say we believe, but to be reborn spiritually is how you get to Heaven. Jesus Loves YOU. He died for you on a Cross. Only the sheding of blood washes away sins, Jesus was the perfect Lamb, slain for the sins of the world. Now He offers a free gift of salvation to all who will believe. The rest is up to you, here is a sinners prayer you can pray if you believe in Jesus, if you really believe, just pray Dear Jesus, I know and confess that I am sinner in need of salvation. I believe you died on a cross at calvery and arose from the grave to wash away my sins, I ask you right now to come into my heart and save me, I pray this Prayer believing in the name of Jesus Amen. If you prayed this prayer with a sincere heart you are now a child of God, rejoice that your name is written in the Lambs book of Life. Jesus will now send his Holy Spirit to come and live in your heart and guide you into all truth. If you made a decision for Christ or have any questions, Please send me an email, God Bless YOU!!

The religious answers are as follows:
god works in mysterious ways, only god knows, it is part of gods plan, we should not questions gods actions.
The realistic answer is because Hitler was an evil person who wanted to carry out genocide because he thought his people were superior to everyone else and wanted them to inhabit the world.

Im not a follower of christ but heres my thoughts.
God does not infringe on free will. He nots going to control people so they dont do things.
Hes not going to be like "opp, that guys killing someone, I SMITE THEE!!!"
Besides, inst your time on earth just a test, to see if your worthy of heaven?
