Nope...I don't need to.

I really think you should.

Christ himself sought out sinners, and said, "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone."

This girl has indicated she is contrite, which is a sign of seeking that forgiveness.

Who among us all is perfect?

Yes,I was taught that God is willing to forgive any sin when the sinner has genuine contrition.

Who among us all is perfect?

I'm certainly not...but I've never sunk so low as to kill without a good reason.

Yes, and he also said "go and sin no more".

He never said, "since you are sorry there will never be any consequences."

That is where many people seem to go astray.

Saul had to go through years of his fellow Christians distrusting him because of his actions prior to becoming a Christian.

Never did he whine and cry that their actions would push him out of the church.

He was very grateful to those who gave him a chance but did not condemn those who took a "wait and see" attitude.

He understood that consequences are part of life.
