Jesus would have forgiven Hitler had he repented and were truly sorry. What makes you think He won't forgive you?! My Jesus Your Love and Mercy!!

That he would forgive Hitler exposes a great flaw in Christian doctrine IMO. I won't forgive Hitler for the horrors and death he inflicted on my ancestors. Since I won't forgive means I won't be repenting for my lack of forgiveness and hate for this man. Nor do I even want to be forgiven for it. To the contrary I think everyone should feel the way I do. Therefore Hitler goes to heaven and I am condemned.

@MoveAlong Theres no flaw that you believe there to be. God is just and He makes the rules. Heaven goes to the one who repents and is truly sorry for their actions. If Hitler meets that condition, God will forgive him and grant him entry out of His Mercy. As for you, He already established if you won't forgive your brother, I won't forgive you. Thats pretty cut and dry because you are supposed to imitate Him in His Mercy towards yourself and others made in His Image and Likeness despite forgiving you all the atrocious things you yourself did to others.
