If she repented her sin, she would have been forgiven. If she did not repent, she will never come face to face with the child she murdered.

You are so fortunate to be without sin and above us all.

Beware the sin of pride and arrogance, Mr. Lucky.

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8.

No one can minimize the need for repentance, because one is expected to "go forth and sin no more," as a evidence of repentance, even as Jesus instructed the woman caught in adultery.

Is it your position that if you are killed in the commission of a sin you lose your eternal salvation, because no time is accorded you for repentance?

If so, please consider the following example:

God sets up rulers and takes down rulers (Daniel 2:21). Christ expects compliance with civil authority where he commands that we are to render unto Caesar that which is Caesar's, and unto God that which is God's. (Matthew 22:21)

Further to this point Paul writes in 1Timothy 2: 1-3: "I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men; 2For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty. 3For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;"

Civil authority proscribes against j-walking in a jurisdiction. By extension then, since Christ expects conformance with the law, he in effect proscribes against j-walking in that jurisdiction also.

Question: if you are struck by a car and killed when j-walking, are you damned to hell, even if you have already testified to your faith in Christ for salvation?

This one is even easier: will you go to hell if you die while coveting your neighbor's property, thus breaking the 10th commandment at the moment of death?
