Do You Believe?

I mean truly Believe!

I bet most of you that clicked on this thought this was going to be another G-d article or another in a long line of Jesus freak articles. WRONG on both counts.

My question is really a simple one.

Can a man kill another man in a fight and be considered a good man and citizen if this man has never broken any laws for 40 years since then? This man has raised a family, instilled in them a respect for G-ds law and mans law but is not sorry in the least for the killing.

Interesting reply, but it does not really answer the question.

Your question is incomplete.... considered a good man to whom.

If you refer to those who have been his neighbors for 40 years and do not know what he did, then they would consider him a good man.

If you refer to the family of the man he killed, then no.

If you refer to the police, then whle he may be a good man, he is still a criminal. Most criminals are good men, who made the wrong choice.... of coulse some are just twisted and scum.

If you are asking if G-d thinks of him as good, an unrepentent sinner, that is up to G-d.

I suppose it would depend on the fight -did this man start it over something that could have been resolved some other way or was it self defense or what? 'mo info please!

MM, I suspect we are as we do, rather than what we did. I know my history includes killing other men. I don't do it any more. And very much regret the fact that I did it then.

Be well.

Well, that was very disturbing to read but since I don't know you well enough or the whole story, I will keep my opinion to myself on this one.

Obviously this is a personal question asked of the person that comments, one can only speak for ones self after all.

This is all the info you are going to get, make YOUR JUDGEMENT BASED ON THAT.

That's my feeling as well, none of us can undo anything we might have done.

OK, then, while he may be a good man in the eyes of many and me, nevertheless, he is in fact a criminal and 40 years of good living will not change that fact.

Need more details. Why did the killing take place?

Once I know that, I might be able to figure out if it was justifiable or not and that would impact upon my answer.

Nope. But who am I to judge anyway?

(funny, but I say this very thing at work ALL the time: I AM NOT your judge.)
