At the very least if they do let him out, he should have his genitals removed.

 

[Obadiah]

Yeah, when Paul (I'm assuming you are talking about after his conversion because his name before his conversion was Saul) was approaching Christians back then, he was testifying of his conversion. This man doesn't seem to be talking about any kind of conversion in his life.

 

[Kathi]

Saul was not a rapist. According to the article this man is not repentive the doctors say he is well...

God will handle it.God is the ultimate judge.

 

[tacdon]

I will pray that this man does not harm any other people. I will also pray that he will repent and become saved.

1 Corinthians 5
Amplified Bible (AMP)

5 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, impurity of a sort that is condemned and does not occur even among the heathen; for a man has [his own] father’s wife.

2 And you are proud and arrogant! And you ought rather to mourn (bow in sorrow and in shame) until the person who has done this [shameful] thing is removed from your fellowship and your midst!

(removed, because he wasn't repentant ---- same for others, not just one)

That's true but in countries that have or did do castrations the recidivism rates were really low. I advocate removal of all genitals over just castration. The mind has a role in rape, but the penis also has a role. Take one of the components out of the equation and you have a drastic reduction.

2Ch_7:14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

this was the "banner" verse, popular in the bible meetings, churches, concerts, studies, and revivals in the 1970's - all across the u.s.a.

I think that is a fitting punishment.

No, he was the chief of sinners.

1 Timothy 1:15

Wait a minute guy's 40 TIMES' 40 TIMES, yes he should be prayed for' and then hung.

Lewis it's not those who know they are bad who are hard to save but those that think they are guiltless. We are all dead because of sin and deserving of the same punishment this man will receive at judgment and it's only by his grace we are saved and not from what we do.

God instituted corporal punishment the OT and Romans 13

Open the jailhouse doors and you can invite those types into your home ... sorta like the old saying put your money where your mouth is.. Yes we are all sinners..... In reading the OT we can clearly different punishments for different crimes .. and crimes are sinful

I agree reba.From reading the news lately I am seeing more and more terrible crimes and people are getting off or are getting very light sentences.What is wrong with our justice system?

 

[reba]

Here in the USA we (they) have done everything they can to remove God... There are no absolutes ... no personal responsibility .. Like blaming a gun instead of the shooter... I hear the cry of poverty as and excuse for crime.. Abe Lincoln was poor and from a broken home... I grew up poor i dont do crime ( not counting the speed limit)

God set up plans and laws.... thinking about how children are raised... the world tells us not to spank.... God says the rod is for the back of him who lacks understanding ...

 

[Kathi]

Romans 13:1-2 Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God. 2 Therefore whoever resists the authority resists the ordinance of God, and those who resist will bring judgment on themselves
