If all sinners are forgiven, one has to wonder what is the need for a Hell???

No, he does not. He only forgives those that are sincerely contrite and request it.

Christ forgives sinners who choose His gift of eternal life and make a decision to turn away from thier sin. Christ forgives those who voluntarily come to Him; he does not automatically "forgive sinners." Hell will be quite full of sinners who died rejecting Christ and His gift of eternal life.

That said, when God created us he gave us the emotion of anger; anger is made for times such as this. Anger is what motivates us to seek to punish those who prey on society and a special anger exists for those who brutally victimize the most helpless in our midst. Those on this thread who are celebrating the death of this monster have every right to do so.

The state of Massachusetts is the state that made famous homosexual "fisting" classes for adolescents. That they did not give this child rapist a just sentence is no surprise. The fact that a fellow inmate at a prison that the Reverend put himself into meted out a fate that should have been done by the state is nothing to be sorry about. I am a Christian and I feel an enormous sense of relief that this man will never rape a child again.

Not true. Only those who repent, feel remorse, and regret past conduct.

"Christ forgives all sinners."

Not "ALL."

ONLY if the sinner asks for "forgiveness" in His name and accepts His gift.

When they are sorry. Not when they are not sorry.
