Will Christ forgive her again?

Sorry, I didn't address this question.

This (imo) is one of those "thou shall not judge" areas. Why? Because no one can truly know another's thoughts and motivations.

If someone is repentant, and asks forgiveness, then I would have the opinion that their sin is forgiven. But in the end, only God knows the heart of each of us, and he will judge accordingly and justly.

Perhaps the larger question is whether WE can forgive another's sin (against us or otherwise). For this I try to remember the question put the Christ: "how many times should I forgive my brother - seven times?" and Christ answered basically, "not seven times, but SEVENTY times seven" (Matt 18:21,22).

This is our calling: forgive - hundreds of times if necessary; the blood of Christ is sufficient to cover it all.

A very good answer to my question but I would counter with my own scepticism of this woman's alleged conversion and her asking for forgivness and believing she is being given it....

Has she done it and publicized it simply to relieve her own guilt or does she truly believe she will be forgiven?

I don't know, but I have a hard time believing that God or Christ would forgive anyone for killing their own child.........

As for that same forgiveness, I also can't understand how God can stand back and watch any indvidual torture or murder an innocent child while the bible simply says that God gave us free well to do what we want even if it means rejecting his word.

Children are innocent and yet God allows them to be victims of whatever attrocity mankind can do to them.......

IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE..........
