Christians: if someone murdered your child but the person accepted Jesus in prison ...?

Question

how would you feel about living all eternity in Heaven with your child's murderer?

Answer 1

First I believe that only a select few will be entering heaven. The rest of the righteous will be here on earth. I know my child would be on paradise earth, and to be a child of God, I would have to forgive that person.

When Jesus was hanging on the stake, he cried out....Father, FORGIVE them, for they know not what they do. We should take lessons.

Answer 2

How about if you accept Jesus? You probably are so self-righteous that you think you are more pleasing to God than a murderer. The problem is, you don't really see your own sin for what it really is.

Have you ever hated anyone? Of course you have, who hasn't? Well the Bible says

1Jo 3:15 Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

We are ALL guilty of the blood of God's Child, and He is willing to spend eternity with us.... Why should I feel any different?

Answer 3

Those feelings that you have for your child's murderer would be healed and removed in heaven. Christians experience the same tragedies as everybody else in life. We are not beyond the same circumstances everybody else goes through. But Jesus is our example of ultimate forgiveness. Even as people were torturing Him and spitting on Him, He said Father forgive them for they know not what they do. Jesus is more important and has greater significance than anyone including their children. In him is the substance to conquer all tragedies and circumstances. So, when one is able to be healed by the power of God, he is healed totally. There will not be any animosity in heaven about anyone who wronged you while in the earth.

Answer 4

Well your sins murdered the second member of The Godhead Jesus Christ who still has the marks YOUR Sins caused, and He forgave you, how does that make YOU feel, and by the way it says in Matt.6:12 that God forgives you your debts [sin is the debt here its talking about] "AS" you forgive others, and at the end of Jesus' example of praying He adds you must forgive others there trespasses [verse 14] which are sins done on purpose OR you will not be forgiven God uses YOUR messuring stick, so if you can not forgive you won't be in Heaven to see anyone running around, think about that.

Answer 5

This is a really good question. It takes a really big person to forgive somebody for something like that. I can honestly tell you that would be really hard to do. I'm a Christian and I have to say I would not want to be in that kind of situation.
If they asked for forgiveness and asked Jesus Christ to come into their hearts, then they will be in heaven, but I don't think if I got to heaven I would know who that person was.

Answer 6

somebody of course spooked you with communicate of hell once you have been youthful. You look completely obsessed by utilising it. Hell is the grave, or the situation of the ineffective. Gehenna, the burning rubbish section outsde Jerusalem is the symbolic place that Jesus became truly relating. the fewer ignorant on the time would have been responsive to the reference that Jesus made. nonetheless I truly have advised you this umpteen cases before and you will positively be asking the comparable silly questions next week returned. Why do no longer you truly do some extreme analyze no longer in ordinary terms enable your innovations be fed with this frightening stuff?

Answer 7

I think this is a great question. I am no Christian... I'm not really tied to one religion... but I have studied most of them. I understand this dillema. Many would argue that if a person were to murder, they go to hell. But according to Catholic and Christian doctrine, all a person has to do is ask for forgiveness from God/Jesus and their sins are cleared. (This is one of the reasons I don't believe in Christianity). Others would argue that since it is a violation of the Ten Commandments, no matter what, that killer would be sent to hell (as long as it was pre-meditated).

I don't believe that this killer and I would meet in heaven whether or not he accepted Jesus. The killing of an innocent is punishable by the firey pits of hell (or whatever you believe is there as punishment for the damned). I think that the violation of the Commandments (or the Eightfold Path in Buddhism) is an unforgivable thing no matter who he/she chose to accept as their savior.

Answer 8

He can live in heavan, but I would not want him to live on the Earth!

This is the justice for taking a life, forgiveness is the Lord's gift, but he also calls for justice. That means the murderer must die by the hands of the government.

Life is a temporary gift. I think you should read this book though

Answer 9

my child was sexually assaulted by his school teacher who did 2 years. Upon his release i approached him to give him the bad news that although i considered myself a D.O.G i was gracing him 3 days before i was gonna introduce him to his maker. Within 2 days he arrived on my door step with a loaded gun, an apology & a confession to be a D.O.G & had been for 1 1/2 years. I could'nt bring myself to hurt him, the anger/hate left me & i forgave. I kept an eye on him & he was a righteous man. Sadly, some of my ex gangmember associates were not as forgiving & he was arranged a meeting with his creator after all.

Answer 10

That is one good question. I am sure God has that one figured out. Nobody knows what Heaven is like. You may not even know he's there.

Now, are you asking that question because you are trying to get closer to God, or are you an atheist thinking you have one on us? It sounds like the later, but I could be wrong. And if I were correct, that wouldn't bother me. You will come to know Jesus soon.
