>That others think him not is of their own faith belief.

Here is the logic I employ:

1) I believe in Jesus Christ, because of what I read in the Bible
2) The Bible is the word of God, because it says what happens thousands of years before it happens http://www.direct.ca/trinity/y3nf.html
3) Thus, because the Bible is the word of God, and it says that Christians are to love their enemies, and one another, and serve one another, and that the Jewish people are still God's people, and not to hate or murder, AND Hitler ignored all of the above, I conclude that Hitler was not a Christian.

>Many Christians even today do not consider other Christians
>of a different sect Christians and they continue to form
>other branches.

Christians failing does not cease to make the Bible the word of God. Even those who were used by the Holy Spirit to write the Bible admit their shortcomings.

>He believe in Christianity as he saw it just as you believe
>it as you see it.

Truth is not subjective. You can build on truth without internal and external contradictions, but Hitler's lies for instance, are laid open for the world to see. It's easy to point out the lie that is his faith with the Bible.

Questions:

If the Bible says "[love one another and people will know you are Christians]", and Hitler hated the Jews and wanted them dead, is it my personal perception that Hitler was not a Christian, or can I prove it by his actions ?

If the Bible says that Jesus was born into a Jewish family, and Hitler believes otherwise, why would I trust Hitler over the Bible?

If someone rapes your sister, is that a fact that exists in the world, or is it a matter of opinion? Is the fact that she was raped due to her inability to abstract reality away properly, or did it actually happen?

Is pedophilia an unfortunate oopsie that could not be helped, or is it a destructive moral abomination?

I think you're trying to point out, that people normally lie to themselves about whatever they like to. Right?

That and your post is of your own faith and belief. That people and Christians disagree on faith and belief is nothing new.
