Barry, just a quick hello. Thank God I didn't get what I deserved. In fact I will never get it, God dropped it in the depths of the ocean, threw it behind His back and forgot about it.
What do we as a society do with criminals? This is a very tough question for me because there is someone close to me who is in prison because of being a three time loser using drugs. Should we have a means to restore them to society if they repent. How would we know if they are sincere ? Have you read, "The Merchant of Venice" by Shakespear? It deals with mercy.
Enough a'ready,
Rom 9:15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." Rom 9:16 So it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God who shows mercy.
In Christ,
David |
