"Yeah, but the thief didn't commit any further sins"

It does not matter whether he sinned thereafter, as it does not matter to my ebing worthy of salvation through Christ.

What matters is that we accept and acknowledge we are imperfect and do not deserve to be with God....and that we cast all of our sins on to the innocent lamb who suffered for them and claimed our salvation....Christ...

Will we sin again...yes, because we are imperfect creatures...will we be forgiven....most definitely yes if we believe in our hearts and minds that Christ, through God's grace, is our salvation....

Faith, through Christ, will hopefully help us to live a better and more acceptable life....but it is a fallacy to believe we will be perfect in that attempt....

The degree to which one can live that life differs from person to person....but in the end it is unimportant....the degree to which we believe in our hearts that He is our Lord and Savior is what separates us from true death....a complete separation from God....

It does not matter whether he sinned thereafter, as it does not matter to my being worthy of salvation through Christ.

So from what you've said, an ax murderer who accepts Christ as his personal savior is free to continue chopping up babies? He has a get out of Hell free card, no matter how foul a life he leads after his salvation?

I find that incompatible with anything I recognize as moral.

Khmer Rouge embraces Jesus

The Khmer Rouge followed a harsh brand of communism, killing nearly two million people in their bid to return Cambodia to Year Zero. Now they have a new faith: evangelical Christianity. Hundreds of former fighters have been baptised in the past year.

Many new converts were involved in the bloody battles, massacres and forced labour programmes that led to the Killing Fields.

According to one pastor, 70 per cent of the converts in Pailin are Khmer Rouge. For many, it offers a hope of salvation.

So do the Khmer butchers, IF their repentance is sincere, get an eternity in paradise, but their victims suffer in eternal torment? Seems the biblical answer is "yes". Do you agree?
