Everything is part of God's plan.
That doesn't mean that God CAUSES things to go a certain way or that God MAKES people do certain things.

Maybe so!!! What if Hitler asked for forgiveness and repented before his death, I would say that even Hitler could be a saved man.

Speculation will never gets you anywhere, just adds confusion and misdirection.
1Tim1:15-17
Here is a trustworthy saying that deserves full acceptance: Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners of whom I am the worst. But for that very reason I was shown mercy so that in me, the worst of sinners, Christ Jesus might display his immense patience as an example for those who would believe in him and receive eternal life. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory for ever and ever.Amen.

according to romans 13:1 god puts all leaders in power. but then that means divine right was true, and we don't actually live in a democracy..... my head is spinning (not that I believe in divine right or that we don't live in a democracy)

Considering what that would mean to him ( Hitler) I doubt very much if he could repent and ask for forgiveness.
That would mean that he would become self-aware of all the pain and suffering he caused and inflicted on everyone, that he would feel their pain and suffering.
Thing about that.
Do you think someone like Hitler would do that?

Then there is the issue that Hitler blasphemed against the HS, which is an unforgivable sin.

I think hitler was probably regretted more that he never got the chance to complete his plans.

I think Hitler's biggest regret would be that he never got to watch Seinfeld. He would've loved the Soup Nazi. "You want bread? NO SOUP FOR YOU!!!!"

Here is a great site full of hatred against the Jews, presented to look reasonable and palatable for Western sensibilities:

Again, I think that's another issue of the heart - for example, it's very easy to say something when you are in a bad mood but in fact do not mean it, I'm sure we've all been there. Maybe not necessarily cursing God, but you understand the meaning of what I'm saying here.

What would you define blasphemy against the HS as Paul? :)
