James chapter 4 verse 12
There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you--who are you to judge your neighbor?
We don't know if Hitler repented, in his last moments, and God is the only judge.

Brother?
You do know the Father does not jest nor every talks like this nor thinks like this. We are to HAVE the same mind as Christ. When did you become God? NO I will not ever for the sake of "discussion" talk about someone a GOD made and then talk as if "white throne" judgment has happen. This is no GAME. No fear of GOD what so ever. We cant know the heart of anyone. Been there ..people that on there last breath repent... hey.. its not kids my creation you talking about.. but its my Fathers.. and I dont like it..praise GOD
Its this how YOU would like to be treated? And forgive me.. YOU should be leading by example. Please.. there is no way around this one.

Am I happy that Hitler (or people like him) might be in hell? No, absolutely not. Once upon a time I might have been, but that was before I knew anything about God.
Why? Because the Spirit of God in me (I pray for my will to become His will, not my own) does not want anyone to go there. 2 Peter 3:9
So likewise, I do not wish or want anyone to perish, but be repentant so they may have life with Him.

I really don't care what happened to Hitler. Once a person is dead, they're no longer relevant to me. What happens to them at that point is between them and God. I try to focus on the living as much as possible.

Had some time to think about it now...
Taking joy in someone else's suffering is called "shazenfreude" - shameful joy.
I will admit to having awoke from a dream where I had Hitler in a headlock.
...And then the sound of "Hitler in a headlock" was so funny, I forgot the rest of the dream.

Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel? - Ezekiel 33:11
I have no pleasure in the thought of anyone going to hell.

Hammster,
I think, for me, the answer to this question is both "no" and "yes."
No, I am not happy that anyone is in hell, no matter how "bad" they were here in this world. Why? Two reasons. First, human beings—people made in the image of God—in hell strikes me as a lamentable thing, something that, given Genesis 1-2, should never have been. Second, and more importantly for me, I know that Hitler was no more evil than I am now. The only difference is God's restraining grace. Therefore, I am not happy that Hitler is in hell because I know that that's what I fully deserve, and that's where I would be were it not for the grace of God.
However...
Yes, I am "happy" for this fact because, for me, it means two things. First, it means that God's justice is being demonstrated upon the wicked, bringing more glory to his name. Second, it means that God is a just God, who by no means clears the guilty. I rejoice in the fact that people like Hitler will get in return infinitely more than what they themselves inflicted upon others. Yet, as I said above, I also tremble because I know I deserve the same.
So, to sum up, I cautiously answer both "no" and "yes," depending on which aspect(s) of hell and the justice of God of which I happen to be speaking. I hope you find this to be a somewhat satisfactory answer.

How is everyone so sure that Hitler ended up in Hell? Is this just being assumed for the sake of argument specifically in this thread?
If so - where do you see that in the scriptures?

Are you saying that you know that anyone who committed suicide is in Hell?
If so - where do you see that in the scriptures?

Justice is coming for all of us. I wouldn't be too happy about anybody else's fate since there's a chance you might share in it. None of us are as perfect as we'd like. And I need a lot of mercy.

I'm not sure any Christian can or should be happy that someone ended up in hell. Essentially,since we don't actually know anyone's eternal destination, it would be putting ourselves in the Judgement Seat.
I am happy that Hitler, and everyone else, will be held accountable by a perfectly just God.
God Bless
