Hell.


Post script: Okay, Hitler did large scale evil. He deserves to be punished. But Jesus died on the cross, taking the entirety of large scale evil upon his person and sacrificing his own life to grant redemption to all people, including Hitler. But did Hitler repent? Probably not. I imagine he is in a very warm place right now, with nice little midgets carrying pitchforks and torture instruments.
I just recently watched a film called `Little Nikky.' Although I thought the movie was somewhat funny, before I found some very troubling (not obvious) things I found in it. Of course, the demonic theme is bad, as is some of the sexual content, it's not nearly as bad as it's philosophy. Let me explain. According to the movie's philosophy, people who did bad things went to hell. This is an old philosophy that is older than this movie, or movies, period. Although the film's protagonist was the supposed son of the devil, it still didn't make it right to say that because he covered the Fonz in bees, he was going to hell. According to them, noble self sacrifice automatically sent you to heaven, and doing bad things sent you to hell. This cannot be further from the truth in the gospel. For instance, the thieves that were crucified alongside Jesus on the cross were obviously big time sinners, but it says in Luke 23:43, "And he said to them, `Truly, I say to you, today you will be with me in paradise.' " Jesus ate with sinners and tax collectors because he brought them redemption, in Matthew 9:11. Jesus has been raised from the dead. It is due to his death and resurrection that we can go to heaven. According Mark 16:16, "he who believes and is baptised shall be saved." Although I can see the merits of this philosophy by how they gave Hitler his just desserts, I sadly must say that if Hitler sincerely repented of his atrocities and turned from them to follow Christ, he would be admitted into heaven. A very problematic film that stimulates an old problem evangelists have been having for years.
