1. The Bible says Jesus died for our sins.
  2. Assuming that doesn’t mean some of our sins and it means all of our sins.
  3. Therefore, Hitler goes to Heaven too.

    Didn’t Jesus die in like year 0 wiping off sins in the BC years and maybe a few days more when he came back and died again, but Hitler committed his sins in the 20th century so definitely post the sin big wipe?

      Nah, he set up a trust to keep it going. Pretty much fuels itself with soul interest at this point.

      Not quite. Jesus died so that we could stop doing animal sacrifices, which were quite popular at the time. But the caveat was that you need to accept Jesus as your lord and savior. Which Hitler did, by several accounts, so technically he could be in heaven still.

        Not quite. Jesus died so that we could stop doing animal sacrifices,

        Actually the author of Mark fucks up and showed that this is a later rationalization of the theology as in his temple cleansing scene Jesus instructs people not to carry anything through the temple (such as the animal sacrifices they were buying from the vendors he just kicked out).

        Later on when the author of Matthew copies verbatim from Mark he leaves out the whole “don’t carry anything” - but seemingly in Mark’s account Jesus was against animal sacrifices before he allegedly fulfilled any kind of surrogate role for them.

        So at least according to the earliest gospel, no need for the animal sacrifices even pre-death.
