Exactly. Further, forgiveness doesn’t relive them of paying a penalty to society. That is part of repentance.
It has nothing to do with “repentance.” Possibly these men will face justice in this life. If not here, then definitely in the next life, where they will either suffer for this murder or forever extol the praises of Christ who suffered for them. All the folks who object to this woman are VERY confused over the duty of the state, which is to execute justice, and the duty of individual Christians, which is to emulate Christ by forgiving those who trespass against us, praying for their forgiveness, and extending love for hatred. Unless you understand that, you are not a Christian, and I don’t care how orthodox your profession is on other areas.
