Only the fool says in his heart, 'there is no God' (Psalms 53:1)
In spite of this, God still reaches out in grace and mercy ... to those who foolishly reject His ways and truths -- and even to those who brag about it!
Can God forgive Christians who under Jesus' banner commit the most atrocious acts against children? I am thinking specifically of a news item I saw on KNBC reported by Kate Snow.
Quote:
Ungodly abuse: The lasting torment of the New Tribes missionary kids
The accused sexual predators are living freely in communities around the U.S., their sordid pasts known only to a few.
I find it reprehensible to even consider how far God can stretch his forgiveness when the perpetrators are so blatantly unrepentant.
(Note: I did start a thread with this topic yesterday but I decided to withdraw it because I didn't feel the subject matter itself was relevant or worthy of a separate discussion in the religion and spirituality forum. Nevertheless it is an issue which, like the Catholic priest scandal, the Christian community must face and ultimately take responsibility.)
Peasant, you're saying I should be nice to you for what reason? Secular humanism? LOL!!!
You know what secular humanism means?
There is no GOD!!!!

Cry. No one cares. There are no consequences for me!!!! I can KILL who I chose since I am an "accredited investor."
I’m not just saying this because I’m a theist: I hope that people like yourself continue to believe in God. It seems to be all that is keeping you from harming others.

No, it's just that this lifestyle is a temporary illusion. It's simply not sustainable. Harming others is a return to normality.
Everything is great when you think you have a jar full of cookies. Maybe not so much when you realize there is nothing in there, but crumbs.
What lifestyle?
