I would be more than happy to demonstrate love towards any major criminal. I will stick with what Jesus said:
But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea. – Matt 18:6 (KJV)

If a major criminal asked for forgiveness, God will forgive, right? Some major criminals are so far gone!

God is the Judge, not man. God declares:
A.E.
Human understanding of anything is extremely limited. Things are no where near what they seem to our linear brain. Because of this prophets have never stressed intelligence as “The Way”. We can access other higher realms other ways.

Exploit the pious: make them accept a 180 degree turn on Leviticus 17: 10-11. Well, if Paul and the gospel writers said it, it must be right, despite the Torah where no, Abraham will not sacrifice his son and no, you will not disrespect God with even a metaphor or “symbol” of cannibalism; despite in other place in the Hebrew Bible, cannibalism is an indication of God’s people under siege.
David said, your face I will seek. Psalm 27: 7-9
To add to that, Numbers 6:24-26
“The LORD bless you and keep you; The LORD make His face shine upon you, And be gracious to you; The LORD lift up His countenance upon you, And give you peace.” ’

There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one.”
The Gospel of Barnabas Chapter 63 “Woe to them that call for vengeance; for on themselves it shall come, seeing that every man has in himself cause for the vengeance of God…Assuredly, this is the proper act of a disciple of Mine, to pray to God for those who do evil. Thus did Abel when his brother Cain, accursed of God, slew him.”
This is my issue with this comment section. All the hypocrites pointing with glee at the sins of others, ignoring the fact they are in the same sinful condition as everyone one of these detainees. Someone claiming to be Redeemed in Christ, would not be making such comments.

I am not n the same sinful condition as a major criminal. I am a new creation in Christ. Deal with it.

God’s Word declares that you are indeed every bit of a sinner as a major criminal, just as I am.

God can forgive but Christians cannot forgive crimes that are too heinous.

Blah blah blah. Psychobabble BLAH BLAH BLAH. There is no place in this world for Jewish fables and gods of destruction.
I’ve prayed for the end of childhood CANCER for 40 years….
this ‘god’ you worship – i.e. WORK FOR – doesn’t exist ANY LONGER.

Psalm 14, Verse 1
“…the fool hath said in his heart, There is no God…”
Pray for forgiveness, and seek the One who can redeem you from everlasting destruction.

Sounds like you are a product of your beliefs. What does that reveal about those beliefs? They’ve produced nothing but evil, fear, and misery in you…. because they are all lies. Only obeying the truth will make you free. Jesus died on the cross for your sins.

No he did not. God replaced Yom Kippur with human sacrifice?
Someone needs to read Leviticus 17: 10-11.
Jesus is a composite character of historical FICTION, and in that fiction, he is a false apocalyptic prophet because Jewish Apocalypticism is a failed hypothesis, hence, any apocalyptic prophet (Jesus and Paul) is a false prophet.
Humans have to forgive each other. If you need some religious practice, there is Yom Kippur, there is Confession, there is reading the bible verse about how many times should I forgive my brother.
There is also Mozart’s Marriage of Figaro, “Contessa, perdono” [The countess forgives her husband], forgiveness, beautifully rendered.
Listen to that.
CRUCIFYING A MAN is what is needed for forgiveness? Insanity!
David
I’m sad for you and your unbelief in Jesus Christ. Jews didn’t and still don’t believe that Christ was the Messiah, they disregard the NT as well. OT sacrifices were all about atoning for various categories of sins and always required a sacrificial animal that was without blemish. Christ, as the Son of God, was perfect, was without sin and was put to death on the Cross by the religious leaders of that day, yet He conquered death when He rose again and appeared to several hundred people which is well-documented.

For Divine Forgiveness, God got some Jewish authorities to get Romans to kill a Jewish prophet, who Hellenized people called Christ instead of Messiah. The Owner of the field sure did give the field from the Jews to the Gentiles. The Jewish God who was the owner of the field gave the field to the same people the Jews persuaded to kill/crucify his Son: they are no better than the Wicked Tenants!
Some say the Testimonium Flavianum was inserted into Antiquities and the TF is not another sad calamity/outrage but the passage before the TF was the outrage. Think about it: God allowing Jewish Authorities to get Romans to give His Son the death penalty of crucifixion in order to overturn/usurp Yom Kippur. That is a SAD calamity. That is OUTRAGEOUS.
