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?

Yes.

After reading the words of Christ, I believe there is no sin that God will not forgive if one comes to Him with a humble and repentant heart in Christ's name...

We may see this as being unfair...that is our nature....Man believes one's actions should seal ones fate....but I believe God rejoices when any sinner, no matter how horrid the sin might be, repents and accepts forgiveness through Christ's sacrifice....

To me, it is a sign of a loving and gracious God.....One that wishes us all to be part of His kingdom....
