If you ask a Biblical question from me, expect to get the Bible as part of the answer.

i do understand all the things that you have to be true to your heart when you ask for forgiviness. but ok....hitler for example. you know what he had done. but yet lets say 2 weeks before he died he was true when he meant that he was sorry for the awful things he had done and yadda yadda yadda.........then someone kills him. WILL HE GO TO HEAVEN??
First, theres no evidence that Hitler ever repented for anything. Secondly. the evidence STRONGLY suggests he did not. Thirdly, NO ONE is able to say who is "right with God" except for God Himself.

As to your question, God takes no peasure in the destruction of the wicked unrepentant sinner. He will forgive anyone....even YOU, even ME.
Its odd how some (maybe not you) even use Gods infinte mercy "against" Him when they should be THANKFUL for it! Without it, NONE of US would exist.
People like Hitler are but one individual in the big picture of the problem when it comes to sin.

another example. i cannot remember who this killer was, but he apparantly killed over a dozen pple. but the day of his death which he was put in the chair. the pple who were the witnesses saw him pray and ask for forgiveness and the witnesses swore up and down even ( strong belief chirstians) that he went to heaven.

so whats the difference you go to heaven if you ask for forgivness a couple of days before you die? or you will go to heaven no matter what time as long as you ask for forgiviness before you die?
Those people would have no way of knowing whether this person was "right with God". The thing one must remember is that God judges on the INTENTIONS of the HEART...Not just what was said last. If ones INTENTION is to keep sinning as long as possible its safe to say they wont be saved. If they are TRULY sorry and repent before God in sincerity then they may be saved.....regardless of their sin.

i know i have like 5 questions in one but....is the purpose of life as a christian to live good and pray and always ask for forgivness jus so we can go to heaven? is living a punishment so we can show god that we are loyal and then when we show that we are ( though life) we go to heaven to be with god?
We are fortunate to even exist. God could have wiped out mankind after the first sin. Instead, He sent His Son to die in our stead and give EVERY human that WANTS to live, eternal life. To obtain that gift one must only REPENT, TURN FROM their sin, and acknowlege Christ as their Saviour. Christ explained that process to a man He met, He told him to be "born again"....that is to say, repent, turn from sin, and by the POWER OF GOD live a new life.

Our life on earth, the fruits of it, show each day whether we walk with God or not. God will make an utter end of sin. BUT, He wishes to save all that desire Him IF they repent. Our actions, our deeds, our intentions (heart) show whether we truly have that desire and prove to all the Universe that God is merciful in saving us, a bunch of wretched sinners.


and how can you actualy believe all the stories like lusapher(sorry cant spell it) the devil and god how they are against each other.why out of all things is he a snake? why not a snail or a bird? jus for that my grandmother hates snake anything!! because of the bible. and they are just as deadly as any other animal? alot of pple say " well thats just how it is" " god made it like that and thats what the book says" but these days pple dont believe everything that is written in a book. and bibbles are re-made every few years. How do you really know what Jesus has really done or said.

like that one guy that was on Oprah that wrote a fiction book and he swore up and down it was still a non-fiction book. pple had an outrage it was all over the news and cnn.

im not against christianity or any religion but alot ...and i mean alot of pple who are believe that any other religion is a fake and is not the true story....they even feel offensive when a person says they are catholic or muslim like they are beneath them.

but isnt there a famous quote " He who wins the war, writes the book"
Belief in the Word of God is something all must wrestle with. Many, if not most, do not believe in God or His Word. However, the majority consensus on any fact changes nothing with regard to that fact.

If one wants to know whether Gods Word is true one only needs to HONESTLY SEEK to know. I can tell you from my own experience...they WILL find out. God desires that we seek Him so that He can reveal Himself to us personally in a way that reaches and touches us as individuals. Some here have testified that certain sinful addictions and habits they used to be plagued with they no longer struggle with. God has touched them in a personal way. He can do the same for ANYONE.
