What I wrote was that I hope for his sake, he came to Jesus meaning, eternity away from the Lord would not be pleasant. Remember, the sins of the penitent thief hung on a cross with Jesus were forgiven. As this man was originally to be hung with Barabbas, he was most likely a terrorist/killer, like Barabbas, yet he was forgiven. It is not up to me or you to demand vengeance on this man. That is God’s job and I trust Him to do what is just.
His victims? Healing will come through Jesus, if they put their trust in Him.
Ok, so we agree: It’s up to God to decide his ultimate fate.
God is believed to be the ultimate in justice, a reflection of which he instructed us to do: “Justice, justice you shall pursue.”
I could never buy into the notion that a person could live a life of heinous depravity and evil, and then have his soul saved just by begging for forgiveness on his deathbed. That just goes against all the natural laws of Cause and Effect.
Thank you for your comments. I was relating more to all of the others, generally happy that the man is dead.
Yes, the man was vile and evil. God will deal with him justly, and perhaps this is part of it. He will heal those poor girls as well.
I always think of the Apostle Paul, who was notorious for murdering Christians. I don’t even pretend to understand the extent of God’s mercy. I am just thankful for it.
Doesn’t matter.
Suicide is unforgivable sin.
