Mr. Walsh says all people will go to heaven even Hitler!!!! I'm sorry, I just don't get anyone thinking Hitler went to heaven. First of all let me say that I do not think God is so puny that he was "helpless against Hitler". God has many reasons for allowing that to happen. One of the main things God does is allow us freedom to choose what we do, say, think and feel. However our choices can be for great good or great evil. He does not make us robots.
There is a great controversy and war between good and evil. God and Satan. I trust God to know that in the end, love will prefail. I do believe that people have a choice to make, to choose love or hate, good or evil. Great evil and death and suffering and heartbreak and hopelessness came out of what Hitler did.
Maybe you don't realize how horrible evil really is. It's a dangerous lie of Mr Walsh that all people will end up in heaven, because that is simply not true, nor can I ever imagine that or even want it. People form their characters and personalities by what they do and think and believe. Of course some people want to believe that everyone will go to heaven, thus making excusses for their evil and selfishness. What is even worse is that evil people influence others to commit evil also, spreading evil and heartache even more.
I do not believe everything organized relegion teaches, nor do I want to. I do believe that God in the person of Jesus Christ died on the cross for our sins and if we turn from our sins and accept his gift of love and grace, he forgives us and the Holy Spirit comes into our lives and we are changed. We will never be perfect on this earth, but God's spirit will change us as we yield our life to him. Do I believe that only Christians will be saved? No, because God knows all of our hearts and minds. There are many people who have never even heard of Jesus, but they respond to the Holy Spirit when Holy Spirit touches their hearts. The Bible says if you give help to the helpless and hopeless, you have done the same to Jesus.
To me real followers of God help the poor, the sick, the lost and offer hope to others, even those caught up in evil. I pray that all people come to know God in a personal, real way and that it changes their hearts and minds.
