[Mrs. Don-o]

I'm shaking my head. Your remark is inexplicable. Neither I (nor God!) said child rape is pleasing to God. Check the context, and you'll see that it's repentance which is called pleasing to God.

The man is not reported to have repented. This he needs to do to save his soul. And even if he does, he needs to be separated from society until the day he dies. That means "life without the possibility of parole," or a just death sentence which is carried out in a ways that is swift and certain.

[Sherman Logan]

I am continually amazed at the “Christians” who seem to think Christ’s sacrifice is inadequate to cover a sin we find particularly horrifying. Assuming repentance and acceptance of Jesus as his savior, of course.

I agree with the horror, but the validity of His sacrifice is simply not affected by the number or severity of our crimes or sins.

Luckily.

The recognition that this child molester is as eligible for salvation as anyone else does not change the fact that he is still on the hook for secular punishment for the crimes he has committed.
