Legitimate discussion I think needs to be had, after seeing recent Elon and Russel Brand posts. Can people who have once served an evil agenda change their ways and take part in awakening the masses for the betterment of humanity?
I think so. God forgives all who repent their wicked ways. Why can’t we forgive if God does?
This does also trouble me, because I don’t think I have it in me to forgive child abusers… and I know hurt people hurt people, but.. I’m only human.
My opinion yes,Saul to Paul for example,Samson,Moses disobedience.But God specially names punishment for those who hurt children.He also says you may kill a thief in the night to protect your family.The street watch,not neighbors aide is available at night.Child molesters sneak around in ways that are not noticed,just like the thief.Plus he prays on those unable to defend themselves,just like sleeping victims.When the watch no longer protects us,in fact,allows things like nambla,pushes child sex in public schools.Even God has drawn this line.Child predators must be removed from our society.I will gladly be the hangman.
Came here to say this.
Same. God specifically denounces any form of harm towards children. And yes there's the "turn the other cheek" crowd out there, but God never said we can't defend ourselves and the ones we love. I mean in the old testament, God destroys pagan nations for disobedience and idolatry. Jericho anyone....?
