in the rush to condemn & hold mercy from the guilty, is it possible we have fallen short in our own willingness to be merciful at all ??

miss atkins is dying of brain cancer. if she hasn’t sought & received the forgiveness & mercy of GOD in Christ for her crimes or character. her life imprisonment is only a sad beginning to a terrifying eternal destiny.

perhaps we should hold off on our armchair meting out of punishment & pray that she won’t be another statistic swallowed up in hell.

She should stay in jail, but as I stated earlier, she should take a page from Tex and realize that she has done wicked things that deserve horrible punishment. I am just as capable of landing in hell as she is, I just hope she makes the right choice. Even if she does find God, no comfort should be given to her in this life, her punishment was delivered and it shall be served.

So what you are saying is leave her in prison as she was sentenced to life. She makes her own peace, or not, regarding her crime. Is that correct?

If there was real justice she would have been executed at least 35 years ago.

Show her the same degree of mercy she and her cohorts showed their victims.

Let her rot to death in a cold, dark prison cell.
