Jesus changed me. I used to be a confused, fearful young woman who threw herself away on one guy after another.
God restored me, returned to me my virtue and purity and put my feet on the rock of His word.
The transforming power of Jesus Christ can give anyone a new life.

Yes, a person can definitely change. I have watched some radical changes in people's lives. My own life was totally turned around as well.
One famous modern day example is Chuck Colson, former hatchet man for Richard Nixon. Read his autobiographical book, 'Born Again'.
That man is now the reason why hundreds of thousands of hopeless prisoners are being rehabilitated all over the world. His work also includes taking care of prisoners' families.

A voice of experience talking here, a tiger never changes his stripes, a snake may shed his skin but is still a snake. Yes they may grow up and they may act better, but they will revert into thier old ways. Take for instane my exhusband. We were married, then divorced for three years, during which he sobered up, straightened up and did better. We began seeing each other again and got remarried, as we have two children together, wasn't six months he was back into the same habit again. So I divorced him again, now guess what we have been divorced three years and here he comes around again. Sorry been bitten twice, no third time for this gal, NEXT

Yes he can, but it takes time to change who you've been for so long and to prove that you have changed.
I've changed so much that I'm surprised that my family recognizes me. Although I can't say that I never look back. I now find people who cuss to be less educated. Ladylike clothes have replaced most of my T-shirts and jeans. And it took having a child for my eyes to open and see why being respectful (considerate, courteous and other forms of respect) is so important.
Changing so much of who I was wasn't easy because I had felt that to change me was to say I was wrong-and there were time I was, but I soon realized that it's all part of growing up.

you answer is both yes and no.
I have changed but I do find myself missing the old days. I am pushing 40 and not as young as I use to be. But for the most part I have changed and haven't even been arrested in about a decade.

yes, a "not so nice man" can change. only if they want to though, or have a reason. once upon a time i was not a nice guy. i decided i couldn't continue like that and took steps to become better.

That's the beauty about life. You can make mistakes and learn from them. Yes, people can learn from their mistakes. But...many people are not willing to forget another's mistakes. Sadly, some people are labeled for life for what they did in the past.

It depends on what the "not so nice" is about? If, it is child molesting, then I think that will never change! if it is being mean to u, yea that could change for a few days....
People are molded and most mold's do not remodel themselves within an instant....
U did not say what the change is, but beware, stay on your toes, and look out for U!!!
