Adolt Hitler was a terrible guy.

I always see this argument and I don't disagree: "What about Hitler? Surely he'll be punished for what he's done".

But nobody ever asks... could Hitler have repented and been saved after what he did?

God keeps his promises.
A person can live wrong so long their conscience is seared.

Hitler could have repented, but it is plain that he did not. God saves sinners, and people like Stalin, Hitler, Mohamed, Osama Bin Laden, even Charles Manson could have been saved. John Newton, a slave trader, got saved and born again. God got through to his darkened heart.

Kinda interesting to think that whether someone is a Hitler, a thief, or a fornicator that their destination is the same. It's humbling to think you don't have to be a Hitler to need to repent because everyone needs to repent. Jesus is the only way. We're all doomed with Christ.

Oops. Embarrassing typo.

Without Christ*

I bet we'll all be shocked at who we see and who is strangely missing in heaven.

We are not to judge because with the measure we judge, we will be judged. Even Michael did not judge Satan himself when they were in battle in Daniel so leave judgment to God and be more concerned about your own lives :)

Angels are a different created order then man, and it is given to man to one day judge angels, so clearly mankind, who were created a little lower than God, is required to use judgement.
One of the most misused verses is "Judge not lest you be judged", without going on to read the full text,"first remove the beam in your own eye, that you may see more clearly".
If, and as, we mature, and we see a wrong done we immediately reflect on how we ourselves may learn and avoid such and move with compassion on the situation.

How come I get a "you do not have permission to view this page or perform this action" on the first page 9 and page 10?

And Jesus answered and said to them, "Do you suppose that these Galileans were worse sinners than all other Galileans, because they suffered such things? I tell you, no; but unless you repent you will all likewise perish."

Possibly.

Repented, of course, doesn't look like he would have had crowns of righteousness to lay at the feet of the Savior.
