Theoretical example: If you murder someone, is there a certain number of lives you can save to make up for it?

I think the good outweighs the bad. U do somethin bad cool whatever, but you do somethin good the bad has been made up for. Karma. Hope this helps. P.S. this is just what I think.

Ignore Robert and all religious fanatics.
Anyone can be driven to murder, if the provocation is severe enough. This is why most states recognize self-defense as a valid defense in homicide cases. Assuming, therefore, that this act of murder on your part isn't part of a pattern (i.e. that you aren't a true criminal), then I think that yes, good deeds can compensate. If after the murder you went on to become an EMT and saved lots of people's lives, I think this would matter very much not only to the people whose lives had been saved but also to the universe. Love always matters, and it always makes a difference.

No.Only accepting Jesus as your savior.Ask Him to forgive all your sins and He will.No person can be "good Enough" to meet God's standards.
The wages of sin is death but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
