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.
Yes, we are all sinners and those who seek to turn away from Evil are who we all are. Rearranging Pogo a bit... we are them.
Criminals are accountable to a nation's Laws tho, in our case we are Blessed with a Constitution which is itself based upon God's Laws. Those who transgressed are forgiven but still owe Society a physical debt, not every criminal or Enemy servant will deserve harsh punishment but many will.
But regardless of the criminal nature of their lives, if they seek Christ and repent they are forgiven, sure. Forgiveness relates to their Souls, if they owe Society a debt that needs be accounted, we must pay our debts.
