Kinda like the idea of a death sentence in these situations
I know many don't but
Weren’t you arguing with justjohnny that there is always the possibility of redemption for a soul, no matter what they’ve done ? Seems like you’re doing a back pedal now ?
ETA: Very sad story, and I can’t imagine the horror she went through, and the pain it caused her loved ones.
*shakes head* This world makes me so sad.
There is a difference between forgiving their soul and ignoring a horrible murder in a land of agreed upon laws. I can forgive but I don't have to forget.

Not really.
Sure there is always the chance of redemption, but that doesn't change the idea of justice on earth, either. Not only that, but man cannot judge the hearts of others, only God knows that, so if these people truly repent, then God will know and handle them accordingly.
I’m not arguing for these criminals! I was surprised Raggedyman was saying put them to death when he advocated for Christian forgiveness for criminals in JustJohhny’s thread !
Please read my posts more carefully.

Whatever we can do to them is nothing compared to when they cross into a lower spiritual realm after this dream is over for them.

I don't know who you think you are talking to I think they should be burned alive.

I think this illustrates perfectly the horror men are capable of when
they are cultured by a society that was born out of the womb of a
harlot religion.
Any religion that can make such acts possible in the hearts and minds of it's
people is truly why Jesus hated religion. IMO these sixteen don't have a
chance in hell. So much for conjecture.

Repentance for freedom, naah. A certain Christian organisation (well can you call Roman Catholics Christian?) the Jesuits, better known as the Inquisition, offered their victims the chance to recant and repent and even if they did, they were still put to death.

Christians like you offer nothing but rhetoric, you tell people what not to do but never offer an alternative

in certain horrific crimes i always thought that the perpetrators should be executed in the same fashion if not a more horrific fashion. some instances more so than others. there should be a bonfire in the capital of Bangladesh.
I believe civil law and forgiveness can go hand in hand, it does This is not a perfect world Sheye and when you realise that you may understand

I never once told anybody what to do or think.. that seems to be your job. You argued with JustJohnny that God was a forgiving God and he could forgive anyone truly repentant of sin. You lambasted me with your rhetoric of reading the bible when I said I understood where JustJohnny’s position was on being firm with very hardened criminals.
Now you’re doing a 360 on your stance, and deciding that some humans deserve no chance at redemption because you decided they will never be repentant and do it again.
What a hypocrite you are turning out to be.
