In retrospect...I wouldn't fault him for it. Would I advocate for someone to do it now? That's where it gets to be on shaky ground for me. The alternative is to help those that are being murdered. That seems like the more noble course to take for me. Either way you are risking your life...helping people would be risking it in the positive sense I suppose.
Yes, and while he surely was guilty of mass genocide, this in and of itself does not make assassinating him "not a sin." Murder is murder........be it one or millions..........justifications such as "for the greater good" don't reflect Scriptural teachings in my opinion. Capture, arrest, charge, put on trial and render verdict, then decide the appropriate punishment, and carry that punishment out would be the better route to take in my opinion.
God reserves "vengeance" for Himself as I recall. Just saying........
I suppose to clarify.....if one were actually standing there when Hitler ordered they be gassed, and they fought back to protect themselves and others, and Hitler were killed in the melee, then that would not be murder, but self defense, and I could accept that.

You need to read about Dietrich Bonhoeffer. He was a Lutheran pastor in Nazi Germany. He left the country in the 1930's, but when Hitler started to get really crazy he went back to minister to his people. He founded a dissenting church (The Confessing Church) when both the Catholics and Lutherans coopted to support Hitler and Nazism.
He fought with love for many years. Finally, he joined the conspiracies to kill Hitler when he realized how bad things were in Germany. Eventually Hitler had him arrested and thrown in jail. Hitler had him killed when the Allies were only a few days from liberating Germany.
His most well known book is "The Cost of Discipleship." It is worth the read.

Maybe one can become a Flirty Fish if they have enough love in their hearts for Jesus? The right motive is important, right? These people us Matt.4:19 "And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will mkae you fishers of men to condone their egregious behaviour.
