Christians, did Jesus die for your murders? Isn't a murder a sin? So, Real Christians can be serial killers?

Question

The FBI gave the standard profile of a serial killer, He is a person with few friends. He became much more religious just before he started murdering people. After reading all the available studies I could find and studying all the articles in the newspapers for over 30 years, I find what is most outstanding is Serial killers were sexually inhibited by their strong religious upbringing.

Nearly all serial killers are very devout men who were raised by members of Pentecostal sects, fundamentalist Catholics or were 'hard-shell' Baptists and Methodists."

The profile of serial killers didn't mention anything about most serial killers being mentally ill


Studies after study show serial killers are a product of this environment, not genetics.

Answer 1

I believe there are two sins that you cant be forgiven of.
1. Cold Blooded murder
2. Denying God after you have a perfect knowlegde of him. Example would be Judas

Answer 2

Jesus endured the cross not for sin (murders, etc.), but as the final proof of the power of God over the notion of any other power or life as being real, and to show to mortals the importance of turning from sin here and now to find the door of salvation. A serial killer is a deranged mortal thought that loves the sin of killing, and may have other loves of sin as well. Sin is ugly however it surfaces.

Answer 3

I only read your question, no more is required to be read. The only way that Jesus will plead anyone's case to the Father is if that person keep his word and trun from sin. There is so much that the world do not understand about God. This is the very reason why the world is in the condition it is in. Most preachers preach prosperitiy and make Jesus out to be a powder puff. But Jesus is one dangerous person, when you find that out you will than understand.

Answer 4

A True Christian could never be a serial killer, They do unto others as they would have others do unto them. But people that think they are religious and over zealous to prove it can be come killers: they convince themselves they are doing GOD's work and do evil in the name of their false god. Their own opinion has become their GOD. That is why we must be very care-full who and what teachings we fallow. The Bible justified salvers, wars, genocide, but was that the will of GOD or was man reading something in to GODS word that was not there to begin with!

Answer 5

Your question assumes several things not necessarily true:

1. Just because someone calls themselves a Christian does not make them one. Being a true Christian means a change of heart and not just a change of title. In other words I believe that many of these "serial murderer" people calling themselves Christian really are not and their actions prove it.

2. The "sexually inhibited" issue you bring up is another point for the point mentioned above. Sex in its proper place is not only approved by God but encouraged as He gave it. Unfortunately there are people who either pervert sex itself or take advantage of the innocent such as children. Either way God stills calls sexual perversion sexual perversion. It is not His choice to cause this problem but our misunderstanding of His purpose and plan for sex.

3. Just as a point to clarify, true biblical Christianity accepts that murder is wrong but that punishing with the death penalty by the government is not murder. As an example would it be wrong for me to shot an intruder that was trying to kill my wife? NO! That is not murder either simply self-defense.

Answer 6

all people can declare that they are one faith or yet another yet their declare is hollow in basic of what they do. How can someone declare to be a Christian, which by definition ability a follower of Christ, and in no way stick with what He taught? both are incongruous to at least one yet another. i imagine that you would agree that someone ought to declare to be a scientist yet in the adventure that they do no longer stick with the large-spread clinical frame of mind to proving and disproving hypothese and theories then you would ought to say that their declare replaced into empty. They were no longer somewhat scientists. Why can't you compromise for or comprehend that an same is authentic when you claimed to be Christians. I went to the web website that you indexed and reported a line which reported that those serial killers were able to violate problem-free tennents of the religion they claimed with out any rigidity in any respect. doesn't this a minimum of recommend as a achievable rationalization that they in no way somewhat embraced Christianity contained in the first position? doesn't it make extra sense that they used Christianity as a mask to cover in the back of at the same time as they imposed thier perverted needs on others? I do admit that Christians are sinners, they do issues which aren't to any extent further healthful, even issues to sense embarrassment about... yet there is the attempt. Are they ashamed? Do they sense responsible about their offenses? Do they repent? for sure all people can, lower back, declare to be a Christian and repent, sense responsible, and so on. Neither you nor i visit decide which ones are honest, yet they could be able to not cover themselves from God. He is acquainted with the intents and concepts of the middle. he will be able to guage. What about you? God is calling into your heart too. have you ever confessed to Him your sins? have you ever requested for His forgiveness? have you ever huge-spread His free present of salvation? perhaps those are questions that you somewhat favor to have responded.

Answer 7

Most all people have been introduced to God, so you can not make that a focal point. What a person chooses to do is part of that WILL that God gave that person to chose God's way or
his own. These studies are ridiculous! You can not judge Christianity by those who fail to follow God's Plan!

Answer 8

Jesus died for all sinners who believe in hopes that he can gather more people to believe in him. Not just Christians. So, if you are not a Christian, yes, He died for you too. It is up to you to choose Him. And humans are imperfect so there can be wackos out there who are supposedly Christian and kill. Honestly, though, if they are going against the Bible and God's commandments, they must not be a true Christian or are completely nuts. It's gotta be radical upbringings that start this kind of stuff. Like nutty parents who beat their kids until they get the Lord's prayer right.

Answer 9

O.k. you are trying to confuse Christians brain i only read the first
part of you question o.k., but what i get is that you do not fully know what is sin. I should also say that " we were born in sin and shaped in iniquity".Think on these things. Christ died for these sins and i think you should know why does sins came about. We Christians are not all the same, some say they are and they are really inside their hearts are not.

Answer 10

What a bunch of poppycock! That is ridiculous, most people of faith live normal live.You are just out to slander Christians. The murder was probably brought up in a home where they were all strange and daffy people..

Answer 11

To be a Christian is to follow Christ.... Christ is not a serial killer and a serial killer is not following Christ. If said serial killer is repentant (for real not just words) he can be forgiven. Dont you worry, God knows the intentions of our hearts, no one will be saved on fake repentance.
