Who will your God accept, the molester who tortures children and then asks for forgiveness, ?

Question

Or the Atheist/Agnostic/Pagan etc who has lived a life of service and peace?

Answer 1

God will not accept anyone who refuses the Spirit.

Answer 2

Show me one of those people you are talking about

Answer 3

GOD will do as GOD wants - I have no clue.

Answer 4

God loves everyone. Just read the Bible or hear someones testimony that now knows Him. God will take anyone who is willing to ask for forgiveness. If you can't be that humble even when you have chance after chance, then there is no reason for Him to save your soul. He will always love you. No matter what. I know this because I have done some bad things but I know that my God has forgiven me. I will keep loving Him and no one can change that. People think that just because they live a life of "service and peace" that that's all that matters. The question is, who are you living for. Why are you living that way. God speaks against the Pagan ways in the Bible. That doesn't mean He loves them any less. If an Atheist/Agnostic/Pagan is so worried about how they are living, they should go to God. He is the judge.  

Answer 5

I'm a Goddess worshipper, so I'm going to take a guess that "my" Goddess will accept the person who has lived a life of service and peace, regardless or religion.

Answer 6

Theres a similar example, but instead of a molester, its a killer who killed someone Atheist/Agnostic/Pagan etc who has lived a life of service and peace, then repented while in jail.

Answer 7

There's a pride issue here.Let God explain Himself, read this:

Luke 18:9-14

He spoke also this parable to certain people who were convinced of their own righteousness, and who despised all others.



"Two men went up into the temple to pray;

one was a Pharisee, and the other was a tax collector.

The Pharisee stood and prayed to himself like this:



‘God, I thank you, that I am not like the rest of men, extortioners, unrighteous, adulterers, or even like this tax collector.

I fast twice a week. I give tithes of all that I get.’

But the tax collector, standing far away, wouldn’t even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying,



‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’

I tell you, this man went down to his house justified rather than the other; for everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but he who humbles himself will be exalted."  

No one is righteous. Everyone is a sinner.We all need God's forgiveness and He isn't bias. He knows a person's heart.

Sin has consequences, and a truly repentant person would face the consequences.

Answer 8

wow...this question is so original. this should be a *drink* question for the christians

Answer 9

The Bible says that on Judgment Day, Christians and God-fearers will be judged by the law of mercy and enter Heaven.  It also says that even if a person doesn't know who Christ is, they still have a God-given conscience and, if they live by it, that's their law and they'll be alright.

So, if the molester genuinely repents of all wrongdoing, God will accept that person.  Asking forgiveness is meaningless if they go back to the torture.

As for the person who lives a life of service and peace, Jesus said many "Christian" religious people who are being sent to h**l will argue with Him "Didn't we do many good works in Your name?"  But that won't mean acceptance by God.

Answer 10

If there is a God, than Athiest/Agnostic(me!)/Pagan/Wiccan

Answer 11

The molester who asks forgiveness and accepts jesus.

Pathetic, but according to christians, biblically correct.

Answer 12

God does not forgive based on what one asks, but on what one realizes.

Answer 14

if you belive in god and follow the bible your saved if you dont and still be a good person your ******....and go to h**l yada yada if it turns out to be true then god seems to have a bit of a ego me thinks....

Answer 15

You misunderstand the entire concept of salvation. It appears that you think Christians believe that God decides who goes to Heaven and who does not. He has decided to offer the free gift of salvation to every man through the death and Resurrection of his Son Jesus. All one must do is to accept that gift.

Only two things truly apply here. First is that a gift is something given freely by the giver. Secondly, it must be received. That decision is made by the one receiving the gift, not the giver.

We make the decision, not God. If we choose to not accept it we have that right and will end up where we ALL deserve to go. If we accept it, then we end up where we don't deserve, but are allowed to go anyway.

It's really that simple.

Answer 16

asking for forgivness from your heart, repenting and confessing your sin is a lot bigger than you think

denying the God who allows you to live and do acts of kindness is also bigger than you think

Answer 17

1) the molester who tortures children will never admit they are wrong can't you see they never repent  they go to court cost tax payers millions and still proclaim their innocents, they must repent they never do.

2) this is why in the bible it states these kind of people are turned over to a reprobate mind. Rom 1:28-32

3) if they had any human compassion or God' spirit dwelling in their mortal souls they would have never done such a thing to begin with, can't you see anyone who would hurt a child is demon possessed in my book.

Jesus said to hurt such a one you'd be better to tie a millstone around your neck and be thrown into the depth of the sea.

that's sounds like punishment to me.

Mat 18:5  And whoso shall receive one such little child in my name receiveth me.

Mat 18:6 ¶ 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.

Mat 18:7  Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh!

Answer 18

God will forgive anyone who is genuinely repentant and works to correct their wrongs and mitigate the damage they've done. But don't die in rejection.

Answer 19

I can understand the confusion over this question.  That really IS a hard decision.  I mean, an incorrigible, degenerate douche-bag who spends his life traumatizing other people and then says "I'm sorry" at the last minute, or a person who spent his/her whole life doing good works.  

Tough choice.  Really.  

Answer 20

Probably the molester in those twisted rules.

Answer 21

The molester or course. Isn't god a just god? ( a little tongue in cheek here)

Answer 22

molesters will face consequences in some form even if they do ask for forgiveness.  from my viewpoint, God was never resentful or bitter, so he really has no need to forgive.  God is total love.  there will be some kind of justice for the molester.  his or her next life will will have karma.

we, as humans need to forgive because we are bitter and resentful at

times.  justice will come about somehow.  the person who sincerely calls out to God will be shown love no matter what.  in that love, i believe allowing justice is love, so the person learns and stops that horrid behavior.  forgiveness does not erase responsibility.  does God accept that person.  yes to the degree that the person accepts and loves and respects him or herself.  such behavior is not respect of oneself.  blessings to you!!!!

Answer 23

God will forgive anyone who genuinely wants to be forgiven. Thanks for asking.

Answer 24

um. lol

Answer 25

Service to whom, its not the same when you are receiving the pie in the face is it? God accepts those that open their heart to him. Besides your destiny has already been chosen you are either going to h**l or not. It really is not up to you to decide. Years will come and you will find out where you will end up. Ask and you shall receive. God Bless...oh I said it again. Sorry!

Answer 26

I have a feeling you won't like this answer but the molester who asks for forgiveness would get in.  It's based on salvation/forgiveness.

Answer 27

God will accept anyone who wants to be part of his family, but he won't force anyone who wants to live apart from Him to live with Him.

Answer 28

Neither.
