Do you think it's possible he was found? And does anyone know what religion he was? If he begged forgiveness before he died, do you think God may have mercy on him? According to our religion, if you harm people and are not remorseful or sorrowful for the cowardly thing committed, no chance. What is your view on it? And another question, do you believe in ghosts? I remember watching the Travel channel one night when my kids were at my mom's house for the weekend. They had some sort of call in thing going with "Most Haunted" during Halloween week and this guy kept claiming he was following the spirit. What do you think about this?

Hmmm...I believe that even if Jack the Ripper Murdered these people and then asked forgivness, I think God would keep his Forgivness in mind but also keep in mind if his victims choose to forgive him...Something like murdering and torturing other people, EVEN if you are truly sorry for it I think there needs to be some form of punishment...Whether it be in this life or the Hereafter...
Doesn't it say somewhere that the Best gift you can give is forgivness? Not only for yourself but for the soul of the person you are forgiving....I THINK (This is what my Husband tells me) that in Islam, when a really bad person dies he will be tortured in his Grave until the judgement Day. There will be no rest for him...He also says that when someone speaks poorly of the dead that this also brings on some form of punishment for them..To be hated and STILL be spoken bad about while you are dead is something very bad....When you forgive someone who has wronged you, I suppose you are freeing their souls and it will make their Judgement Less in the end...
Maybe God will give Jack the Ripper the opportunity to apologise to his Victims if he truly feels sorry..But God knows what is in our Hearts. We can't conceal that from Him...
Yes! I believe in Ghosts!! Ghost Hunters is a little funny sometimes, I have to say...I laugh everytime that British Guy starts chasing "something" down the hall, shouting, "YOU!! Don't Run!!!" LOL!!
But, I have had incounters with spirits. They didn't hurt me but did enjoy bothering me and my cat...
I have come to the conclusion that when we die, there is another "waiting" place we go to until Judgement. We are allowed to go back to our graves to have visits from Family and stuff, and also the place that we died...But, I don't think we are allowed to wander freely. Only these two places...Does that not make sense?(for a Muslim). God obviously can't let the spirits easily come and contact us. But he does allow them to go to their graves and to the place that they died. This is the only places you will find activity. My House that was haunted was of course (because this country is crazy!!) was built on top of graves. I imagine the ghosts were quite frusturated their was a house ontop of them..
In Islam it says that when you go to the deads grave you can speak to them and they will hear you. You are meant to knock on their headstone and they come from where ever they were.
My Husbands cousin died recently in his house, and his family see him walking around sometimes...The Mother reads the Quran out loud to him and tells him it's ok...
This is my opinion about Ghosts and Gods forgivness...

Thank you for sharing this information. Yes I did take the time to read it :) I think the guy is right about one thing. He said, "how many coincidences do you need until you say this is a real possibility". I like the fact that he doesn't say until you believe it's a FACT. Anyway, about forgiveness? The Apostle Paul said that "he who has died has been acquitted of his sins.". There's no talk of eternal punishment for anyone, no matter how heinous their crimes.

Well alot of the questions you posted about Jack The Ripper I dont know much about or would not know at this time where my opinion falls. I do however think that if he had been caught and or charged for his crimes someone would have known about it and said something. And to the ghost questin yes i do belive not only belive but know they exist as i have seen them my self time and time agian.

Most evidence has suggested that Jack the Ripper was in fact a member of the British royal family and that is why he was never brought to justice.
Most Haunted is nothing more than adult fantasy it is pure make believe,the host is from Liverpool in England and yet he states that his spirit guide is a native American chief who seems to speak in a liverpool accent too? it is nothing more than polished showmanship playing on peoples superstition.

The Bible says "To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord". If you're a Christian, when you die, you're with Jesus, not walking around here. If you're not a Christian, you're still not walking around here.
As for the first part of you question, yes God would have forgiven a repentive "Jack the Ripper".
