Would let murderers live, thieves not to repay what they have stolen, and suffering in general that comes from sin to continue to harm those who are guiltless forevermore.

Who here agrees?

Eternity is the operative word here, right.

Christianity affirms cosmic justice.

Of course.

So if you were God, what would you do with Hitler?

He'd go to hell. He willfully slaughtered millions of unarmed civilians as part of a policy which he was the chief architect of.

Let's see. Many Christians believe that all of their sins, past, present and future, has been "repaid" by God via Jesus. As such they themselves do not have to "repay" anything. And unless they cease to sin, they will "continue to harm those who are guiltless". And they believe that they will receive eternal life / live in the Kingdom regardless.

What point do you think you've made here?

Those that repent have turned from those sins, and Christ has paid for them.

However, if you repent in jail after murdering someone, you still should get the death penalty and let God sort things out in the next life.

Like usual you haven't thought any of this through.

What of "thieves not to repay what they have stolen"?

How do the following beliefs describe a "just God"?

So much for "Judge not, that ye be not judged",

Encumbered as you are with your ideology, how can you be sure that Hitler wasn't doing what your God figure wanted him to do as an act of vengeance against the Jews and other targets of divine wrath?

Naturally, the thief who died with Jesus was unable to give back what he had stolen.

The issue is repentance, turning away from sin and wanting to make restitution.

You are free to assess the motives of Hitler and the God of the Bible based upon what you know about both.

Is this your conclusion? After all, Hitler publically claimed to be a Christian.

If nothing else, you certainly have a way of missing the point.
