@elyasviel If Christ is superior to Hitler in every way, then Christ should be your model, not Hitler. A Christian’s admiration should be directed toward Jesus, not a man remembered chiefly for war, persecution, and mass death. Your words and priorities should reflect that.
A Christian is called to imitate Christ. If you’re openly praising Hitler and looking forward to embracing him in Heaven, you’re not pointing people to Jesus you’re pointing them to a mass murderer. You can claim the title “Christian,” but your admiration for evil men stands in direct contradiction to the faith you claim.
Whether Hitler is in Heaven is for God to decide, not you or me. What concerns me is that you’re expressing more admiration for Hitler than for Christ. Christians are called to imitate Jesus, not to look forward to embracing dictators. That’s a serious distortion of where a Christian’s priorities should be.
This isn’t about my opinion of Hitler versus yours. As Christians, neither of us gets to define good and evil for ourselves Christ does. If a person’s actions are fundamentally opposed to Christ’s teachings on love, mercy, and the value of human life, Christians shouldn’t be looking to that person as a model, regardless of their political achievements or personal beliefs.
@elyasviel Hitler was a mass murderer. Christians are called to imitate Christ, not admire tyrants. You can claim Christianity all you want, but if you’re praising Hitler and Mussolini, you’re not reflecting the teachings of Jesus you’re contradicting them. Follow Christ not monsters.
Saying “Hitler was Christian” proves nothing. Plenty of people claim to follow Christ. By that standard, every criminal who ever identified as Christian would represent Christianity. Jesus said you’ll know people by their fruits. The fruits of Hitler’s life were dictatorship, persecution, war, and mass death not holiness.
Baptism doesn’t give you a free pass to glorify evil. You can’t seriously claim to follow Jesus Christ while praising Hitler and Mussolini as great men. Christ taught love, mercy, humility, and the dignity of every human being. Supporting figures responsible for tyranny, persecution, and mass death isn’t Christian discipleship it’s putting politics above the Gospel and then trying to hide the contradiction behind baptism
@CTownEnjoyer@BlutoThe3rd@Christi31368828@PoliticDeclined No, he said they dislocated his shoulder. Having an existing injury is irrelevant to that fact. He amended his statement to clarify that he may be uniquely susceptible to that injury as well. However, that does not change the fact that it was done.
