If he was sincere, and believed that God was, and He is a rewarder of those that seek Him.... sure. All sins are forgiven but one....continual rejection of Christ's payment for all the other sins (other wise known as blaspheming the Holy Spirit).



1. There is the sinful state.....we all are there. Forgiven already



2. There are the current sins (forgiven already) but exercised by in the current life (you reap what you sow)



3. and then there is continual disbelief (unto death of the body) of the conviction of sin and subsequent salvation for that sin (blaspheming the spirit who is telling you this)......not forgiven. ever.



The above is the Reverse Gospel. It's the scary, intimidating version of the Good Gospel, which goes like this.....Jesus is the life. the truth and the way. No man comes unto the Father but through Him.



So if adolf hitler was true, then God chose him to be so and would have granted him life. Consider the two theives on the cross with christ. One believed Jesus was sent of God and was going back to him when he died. The other didn't. A picture of the whole existance of man and God. And all at about 11:59 pm. It's not when, it's if you believe God that seals your fate forever. Even hitler's.

I very much doubt it...

But what seems so unfair is that hitler's death PAID for all the bad things he did...



(Romans 6:23) For the wages sin pays is death, but the gift God gives is everlasting life by Christ Jesus our Lord.



So he is in fact 'asleep' in death, and will be resurrected...and when he is, he will retain the same thoughts and attitudes he had when he died.



(Acts 24:15) and I have hope toward God, which hope these [men] themselves also entertain, that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.



and hitler is part of the UNRIGHTEOUS...so they wil;l be resurrected...

The Bible says there is only one unforgivable sin. Blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. He would have gone to Heaven. We are still presented with out life record, the book of life. We still go to a place that our energy evolved to based on our thoughts, word, and deeds. If you have evil energy, you will attract that to yourself. Like attracts like. If you are good, guess where you are going. With like kind. So ya might think about how you conduct your life. Jesus said , In my Fathers house there are many mansions. or Possible he said, dimensions? He said as you sow, so shall you reap.

Let's say he knitted slippers for kittens too, and feed homeless kids soup that he made himself. Hmmmm, with the prayer for forgiveness that aught to even up the score for being the leader of a genocidal war machine but even if there was a heaven, I personally don't think so.

He was a self proclaimed Christian going about his way of building the Third Reich or Third Holy Roman Empire.



I would guess that in the thinking of Christians he would go to the mystical and mythical Mansion in the Sky on his Earthly demise, wouldn`t you ?

Sounds like you are suggesting that he asked for forgiveness and THEN took his life. Not sure how God would look at this but to put it in a different framework, try to imagine someone asking God for forgiveness and then murdering someone. God, please forgive me. I need to kill my boss.



Not sure that works. But then again, no one can say for sure what was in Hitler's heart. He sure seemed to be one messed up dude.



Your question was hypothetical since he did NOT die in Battle but did take his life. God can forgive any sins God wants. So we do not know for sure.
2009-09-27 22:19:30 UTC
No matter how bad of a person Hitler was the same rules of forgiveness apply, though I doubt he would have sought forgiveness.
2009-09-27 22:21:31 UTC
Whatever you were told about Hitler. whatever your learned in History class. FORGET IT! Hitler was just a person with beliefs, like me and you. We are no different from he is. We can rise to power and do the same amount of effect as him. So don't judge him, unless you know the truth. By the way YOU believe in whatever you want to. :)
2009-09-27 22:23:20 UTC
well, murder, torture, drug abuse, and being responsible for one of the greatest tragedies known to man is also a sin.... butttt he prayed for forgiveness right??? so yes?



Just like how saying sorry always fixes everything. Like if you get into a car accient and accidentally kill someone.. saying sorry helps the situa... o wait. nvm

We are all sinners, and equally undeserving of forgiveness, and yet the Lord forgives us all. I highly doubt Adolf Hitler would, but if he had turned Christian and repented as he died, he would be forgiven. In Gods eyes, we are all no better than Hitler.

It matters who you ask. In my old religion (LDS) murder was unforgivable and while if he felt real remorse he might not go to hell, he also would not go to heaven. Does that make sense? But i doubt Hitler felt any real remorse for what he did.

Nah he went to a special hell reserved for people in particular need of horrible torment... like child molesters and people who talk at the theatre.
2009-09-27 22:19:02 UTC
no because that would be his pansy a** last resort to get into heaven. he wouldnt really be sorry, because he wasnt sorry when he killed six million people in the first place. he would pray for forgiveness out of fear not remorse. and "god" forgives people who are really sorry, not those who are lying about it.

well since chrisians say that if you pray for forgivness and mean it, then you're in the clear.



so its an almost yes since he did commit suicide still.
2009-09-27 22:18:33 UTC
Lissten to this "some people say suicide is bad" sounds like manipulation of religion to me.

I can't say because i'm not God. Only God can judge whether a person is rightous enough to enter heaven.

2009-09-27 22:19:09 UTC
Yes, Jesus died for our sins. If you're christian and believe this. All you have to do is repent and you are saved.

Depends on who he prayed to and what he said. Yes, it's possible.
2009-09-27 22:18:45 UTC
yes but he need not pray for forgiveness.

2009-09-27 22:19:49 UTC
assuming he accepted Christ as his savior then yes, no sin is too great for the power of God to forgive, and he would have gone to heaven
2009-09-27 22:25:28 UTC
JEFFERY DAMER WAS A HOMO-sexual CANNIBAL RAPIST!...he's in heaven, he repented, another reason i stay the hell (no pun intended) away from Christan's and they twisted religion

If he was sincere in asking for forgiveness I think God would forgive him.

2009-09-27 22:18:54 UTC
If you truly believe that Jesus is the son of God.

And that he is your savior.



then you will go to heaven.

BUT he didnt die in battle. Besides, its not upto us to decide whether a person goes to heaven or not.
