So I guess I did not, seeing that the statement made was of the same idea and notion. You do know that a core tenet to Christianity is love thy neighbor don't you, Hitler tried to kill all his.
I'm sure I recall you saying that actions were less important than belief in god.
And ol' Adolf was big on calling on god to justify his actions.
Whether Hitler called on God or not his actions were never justified.
Yes belief ie. faith is required for salvation, however, what we do is a witness to our salvation, and I'm pretty sure Hitler never showed any signs.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
