Where on earth did you get that "inside" information? :roll: (I assume you are referring to Adolph Hitler.)
That's called making a judgment about people; in fact, that is an uninformed judgment, which is even worse.
I dont have insider information but you can find lot of good information about Hitler (there s no spellcheck here) 's religious.
I am sure you re aware what is Mein Kampf. In his book, he said , "I am convinced that I am acting as the agent of our Creator. By fighting off the Jews. I am doing the Lord's work." Also he repeatly that he is siding with churches and churches showed their support for Hitler. He was pissed off (like Mel Gibson is) that Jews put Jesus on the cross and wanted to punish jews thus resulting in horrible holocaust.
Where is source/reference you ask? here it is ..
Hitler's Christianity
disclaimer - I do not support hitler's acton
side note: it s interesting that nazis wore a belt "Gott mit uns" which means God is with us
Yes.
Those are not evidences of his personal salvation. His words contradict those of Jesus. The Jews are God's chosen people, so how could destroying them be the will of God?
Do you mean Hitler was pissed off? How does that prove he was a born-again Christian? Jesus never said that we were supposed to destroy the Jews.
Thank you for the link.
I'm very happy to know that!disclaimer - I do not support hitler's acton
Ah, that shows that the Nazis thought they were above God. They expected God to follow their agenda. A real Christian desires to be on God's side, not the other way around.side note: it s interesting that nazis wore a belt "Gott mit uns" which means God is with us
Despite your link, there is no evidence by word or deed that Hitler was a Christian.
If he did sincerely repent and ask to be saved, then yes, God would forgive him. However, there is no evidence that he did that. He didn't leave behind a written note to that effect. Also, if he had truly repented, it is likely that he would not have taken the coward's way out by suicide. He would have stuck around to face judgment, publicly confess his sins, and proclaim to the world that persecuting and killing Jews was wrong. God could have greatly used him to destroy the enemies of the Jews. But it doesn't appear that Hitler made that decision.
The same that we don't know what Hitler decided in his final moments, we don't know about Mother Teresa or Gandhi.
Luther was just a man, and his writings were not inspired Scripture. If he was seeking revenge against the Jews, he was doing that in his own heart, not God's.
Or this one:
"My feelings as a Christian points me to my Lord and Savior as a fighter. It points me to the man who once in loneliness, surrounded by a few followers, recognized these Jews for what they were and summoned men to fight against them and who, God’s truth! was greatest not as a sufferer but as a fighter. In boundless love as a Christian and as a man I read through the passage which tells us how the Lord at last rose in His might and seized the scourge to drive out of the Temple the brood of vipers and adders. How terrific was His fight for the world against the Jewish poison. To-day, after two thousand years, with deepest emotion I recognize more profoundly than ever before the fact that it was for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross. As a Christian I have no duty to allow my self to be cheated, but I have the duty to be a fighter for truth and justice… And if there is anything which could demonstrate that we are acting rightly it is the distress that daily grows . For as a Christian I have also a duty to my own people." –Adolf Hitler, in a speech on 12 April 1922 (Norman H. Baynes, ed. The Speeches of Adolf Hitler, April 1922-August 1939, Vol. 1 of 2, pp. 19-20, Oxford University Press, 1942)
No matter how you try to spin this but clearly he proclaim he is christianity and doing God's work.
"Around 1937, when Hitler heard that at the instigation of the party and the SS vast numbers of his followers had left the church because it was obstinately opposing his plans, he nevertheless ordered his chief associates, above all Goering and Gobbels, to remain members of the church. He too would remain a member of the Catholic Church, he said, although he had no real attachment to it. And in fact he remained in the church until his suicide." (Inside the Third Reich by Albert Speer page 95-96)
Again , He took his life in church which he must had ask God for forgiveness before he commit suicide.
Gandhi said he was unconvinced by christianity and do not agree with their teaching.
You can find his answer to why he doesn't become christian. obviously he doesn't believe in God/Jesus or in heaven.

Funny thing is today we have church filled with christians honor his name. Lutherian Church !!
There is nothing in that passage that says Hitler confessed his sin, repented, and trusted Jesus to save him from hell. There is nothing there that shows any proof of his actions that seem even remotely Christlike. Hitler didn't even know the Bible. He claims that the Jews were the reason "for this that He had to shed His blood upon the Cross." A real Christian confesses that Jesus died on the Cross for everyone's sins, including his/her own. I confess that Jesus suffered and died on the Cross for my sins. It was my fault that He was on the Cross. It was not the fault of the Jews.
So Hitler stayed a member of the Catholic Church? So what? What does that prove? He even said that "he had no real attachment to it." Membership in any church does not make a person a Christian. Membership in a church does not save anyone's soul.
What do you mean he "took his life in church"? What makes you think "he must had ask God for forgiveness before he commit suicide"? What makes you think Hitler believed his suicide was a sin that required forgiveness? What makes you think that Hitler even believed in God? What actions in Hitler's life ever showed Christ was in his heart?
If that's what he believed up until the end of his life, then that was his final decision.
That's their problem. Lots of people belong to lots of churches that call themselves Christian. That doesn't prove anything about their hearts.Funny thing is today we have church filled with christians honor his name. Lutherian Church !!
He may had done this in private. Didn't bible says that you should do this privately?
And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and in the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward. But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father in secret shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6: 5-6
Sure he is fighter, after all he did wielded a whip and drove people out of temple
We dont know what he did in church but we can say he could redeem himself before he took his life.
I admit it was entirely pure speculation but you can't deny that Hitler in fact repeatly he was christian and his speech/book already showed that he believed that he was doing Lord's work hence believing in God.
Yea, i agree with you that all churches should be nameless
The Bible says you should pray privately, or at least not show off. But the Bible also says when we accept Christ as Savior, we should make a public statement of that.
Yes, Jesus did that. But that wasn't His most important action. The most important thing He did was to become a sacrificial Lamb for our sins. He surrendered His blood and life on the painful Cross.Sure he is fighter, after all he did wielded a whip and drove people out of temple
He could. Anything is possible. But unless you have some real proof, you really can't say that he did.
A lot of wacko people say they are Christians, or even say they are Jesus or God. That doesn't make it so. I don't think Hitler truly believed he was serving God. I think he was being self-serving, and wrote whatever he thought would justify his actions to his readers or audience.
Yea, i agree with you that all churches should be nameless
Jesus is Jewish.
But the solution is NOT to kill people just because they were descendants of those Jews!I dont have insider information but you can find lot of good information about Hitler (there s no spellcheck here) 's religious.

According to that graph, Christianity is significant in 254 countries, and the other religions total 676. That makes Christianity a minority, at least on that graph.
