Though everything inside of me wants to hate, be angry, and slip into despair I choose the route of forgiveness, grace and hope, he said in a statement. If there is one thing Ive learned from Amanda in the 10 years we were together, its this Choosing to let my emotions drive my decisions is recipe for a hopeless and fruitless life. Today I am deciding to love, not hate.

Since 1989 when Charles Stuart said “Carol would not have wanted us to hate,” I have taken magnanimous statements from grieving husbands with a grain of salt.

In this case, it seems quite clear that the husband was not the killer.

Stuart’s accomplice, his brother, became a bum and died on the street of an OD.

I wonder where punk’s mother is at this point. Sister trotted out to say this:

“His sister says he was in the process of turning his life around.”

He calls himself the Kill Gang and he is turning his life around. Dumbass to think anyone is going to believe her.

Scripture, both in the Old Testament and the New Testament,
teaches CAPITAL punishment for murderers. Period. The civil
authorities are charged with this RESPONSIBILITY for a
reason! A very good reason!

That said, the Bible is also clear: Man and Woman are made in the image of God. He who takes a man's life is to have his taken.
Genesis 9:6 Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.

You are quoting from Genesis
That is part of the Jewish Torah.

Christians should be guided by the New Testament.
That is what he is trying to follow to the letter, and something I believe is a threat to this country when dealing with Muslims who are willing to kill us Kafirs, and die for their Muslim beliefs which are contrary to ours. -Tom

” Family of a person of interest in the Amanda Blackburn murder are defending the 21-year-old, but neighbors paint a different picture.

Jalen Watson was arrested Thursday on an unrelated parole violation charge. He has a record dating back to at least 2008 in juvenile court.

George Rudolph remembers his old neighbor 60th St.

“Last house on the corner,” he recalled. “We always saw cops.”

Some of those were disturbance calls. A young Jalen Watson threatened his mother’s boyfriend. At age 15, he was suspected of breaking into a neighbor’s house to steal a flat screen. “

It is not my job to forgive them. Jesus will decide their afterlife. I would just try to end the current one, with prejudice.

______________________________________________________________

Atcually, it is your job to forgive them. It is however not the law’s job to forgive them. We have laws in this country and the laws job is not to forgive anybody but it is to exact justice for all.

Even The Savior while on the earth forgave sinners but at the same time recognized that there were laws and that they were not to be ignored. The Savior forgives people that seek forgivness after repentance, the law is supposed to be blind to intent only the action counts. The law makes allowence for intent only in the law that was broken, that is why we have 1st degree, 2nd and 4th degree crimes, sometimes there are even more degrees than those. There are specified punishment for crimes Juries and judges have some latitude because the law gives room in sentencing but only to a point.

These feral animals didn’t do anything to me personally so I have nothing to forgive them of. If it was my wife I have my doubts that I could have a forgiving nature towards them until the system put them to death as they deserve. While I might not forgive them in my heart I don’t think I would try to kill them as long as they were in custody. If they broke out I might want to join the manhunt and hope I was the one that found them.

Every white woman that still pulls the lever for a Democrat supports this rape and massacre.

There is a poster on this site that had a violent crime happen to his wife. I think it was a foster son who killed the wife. Can’t remember. It destroyed him.

"Though everything inside of me wants to hate, be angry, and slip into despair I choose the route of forgiveness, grace and hope," he said in a statement.

This is all fine and dandy when it is coming from a place of strength, but these days, this kind of forgiveness all too often seems to come from weakness, where the forgiver doesn't have the strength to pursue or demand justice.One can still have forgiveness in his heart for a person while he's hanging the son-of-a-bitch.

One of the most brain dead comments I’ve ever seen on this forum.

Do you really think Christ would have a man not defend his wife from rape or murder?

I wonder if they will have bond set? If so we should take up a collection to get them out and on the street.
Then.....

"Atcually, it is your job to forgive them."

Only if the perp repents first, i.e. a total conversion of the heart, not just "I am sorry". If not they are under judgment.

Should a wife forgive a husband who constantly cheats? Should murderers be forgiven if they have no intention of repenting?

They all should go to prison!

They took two lives. They devastated the lives of her family, her husband and her other child.

They should be executed.
