Doesn't the hell doctrine allow horrible people into heaven while punishing their victims?

If you believe that people who do not believe in Jesus will burn in hell, then surely Jeffrey Dahmer, who killed and dismembered 17 boys but was a repentant Christian, would be happy in heaven while his victims burn?

Hitler was raised a Catholic, so he could be allowed access to heaven while the millions of Jews murdered would all be hell bound?

    Each of us are called by God, and we are responsible for either accepting that call, or rejecting it. As far as Jeff Dahmer is concerned, whether he actually repented or not is known only to God.

    Genesis 18:25 will decide all of that, so that you do not have to.

    That depends on your soteriology(view of salvation). If your soteriology is one that's rooted in cheap grace and easy believism like many fundamentalists and conservative evangelicals have then quite possibly yes. If you have a more developed view of salvation then no.

    If you look at Jesus's statements on judgement, the people who are judged the harshest are those who think they are Holy and think they are righteous but aren't. In the Parable of the Sheep and the Goats(Matthew 25:31-46) the Goats think they are following Jesus but then Christ passes judgement on them for failing to help the poor, sick, stranger, those in prison, etc.

    We are all horrible people, so we all deserve hell. It is not "being a repentant Christian" that makes a person to avoid hell. It is only believing in Jesus, without adding any of your own works, that makes a person to avoid hell.

    Hitler is in hell, because catholicism leads to hell. As for catholicism, Jesus is not in catholicism or orthodox. Reading the Bible proves to us that catholicism and orthodox are lies.. Catholicism and orthodox teach works for salvation, which leads to eternal torment in the lake of fire (Galatians 1:6-9). Catholicism and orthodox didn't even exist for over 300 years after the Bible was complete and compiled. So avoid catholicism and orthodox, get away from them both.

    ..

    The truth is that Jesus loves you and wants to bless your life freely :) Most of all, Jesus wants you with Him forever, and not in hell. The truth is that every belief except one will lead to eternal torment in the lake of fire for every person. Because nothing pays for our sins except the death and blood of Jesus, the sacrifice of Jesus that is already accomplished by Him . Jesus loves you! The truth is that Jesus is God, and Jesus died on the cross to pay for all of our sins in full, and then Jesus resurrected from the dead. Nothing else pays for our sins, not works, not deeds, not religions. So the only way to heaven and to avoid hell, is by believing in Jesus for eternal life (John 6:47), without adding any of your own works (Romans 4:5). Believe in Jesus to take you to heaven, and you will be in heaven, no matter what, guaranteed. That easy, thanks to Jesus! Tell Jesus that you thank Him that you will be with Him in heaven when you die, because you believe in Jesus! It is too late to be saved, after death.

    People are so quick to judge everyone other than themselves . . .

    Whatever evil you have done, you discount as being lesser than the most egregious offender. According to God, you are guilty enough, and so am I. So, what's next? That is what's important.

    What about you?

    And what's next?
