Do you forgive someone who has committed murder? Do you forgive a terrorist? Let’s say there was a a child growing up in a home where he or she had no mother and their father was no where to be found, so they were passed around to various foster homes, this now grown adult falls in with the wrong crowd, and he or she is forced into the porn industry due to a drug addiction that was forced on them by an abusive man or woman, they have never had any foundation for religion, and this person commits murder to get away from this abusive man or woman, and they are executed for their crime. Now, will this person, who has never had stability nor a religious foundation due to the circumstances they were born into, be saved? Having never known Jesus all their lives. Are they given a chance at redemption?

What are you talking about? You said that Christians judge others but not themselves. I said that Christians do judge themselves, and your statement is silly and smacks of your projecting your own feelings on others (”mind reading”).

So your answer is that pile of drivel about a hypothetical situation that we were not discussing?

As for whom I forgive or don’t, I neither forgive nor judge strangers and hypothetical persons at all. That is entirely up to God Almighty, and certainly not me.

You’re doing an admirable job of judging and condemning the rest of us yourself.

Salvation is through Jesus and Him only, no matter who they are or what they’ve done. No excuse.

Your harsh judgment of other Christians is exactly the thing you are condemning in them. The only difference is that you are condemning other Christians instead of condemning the prostitutes or murderers. Take the log out of your own eye.

Matter of fact, your diatribes smack more of DU trollishness, just to stir the pot against Christians, than any real concern for them. Your obsession over the porn industry is also disturbing. ALL people need salvation, not just porn stars.

Do you forgive Christians?
