King David sinned with Bathsheeba. God forgave him, but he still had to pay the price of his sin, and boy did he pay.
Why sure. I can just see Mitchell, Boehner and Romney leading the charge on conservative issues.
“I loath it when people use false piety to justify their stupidity. Not only is it wrong doctrine, it abuses the VICTIM of the crime all over again.”
Absolutely!
They like playing the role of God.
We are to forgive as individuals, not as governments. Christianity itself is in an individual’s heart, and was never meant to be imposed by a government.
Whose face is on the coin of forgiveness, Governor?
Seems like a fine idea at first, but it endangers the innocent to make a point. I would however endorse buying the houses and letting the officials THINK they are going to be homes for people who (claim to) have committed heinous murders, privately confessed them and are "forgiven." It would need a few people with the guts to make such claims, but you could find them if a free house is bait. :)
I am ill from hearing the tenets from the Bible taken out of context, whether from the left or right. Yes Christians believe in forgiveness, but forgiveness comes from God, not man. We can forgive some ones transgressions against us, but we can not forgive his sin. That is between the sinner and Jesus.
And just being forgiven does not absolve ones debt to society. These men were tried and found guilty and were serving time. Many sincere inmates find their calling to service and still do their time. The arrogance of ‘little Caesars’ to think they can forgive the debt that these murderers owe the families of the victims.
WOW! Forgiveness doesn’t mean you give them the opportunity to go murder someone else. That’s just foolish.

“Sunspot activity?
Full Moon?”
No just Christianity. You never know when a Christian is going to do something like that and say it is what Jesus would do. The whole leftist agenda can be justified, and has been at one time or another, by some Christians and their personal interpretations of the Bible.

First Bush then Huckabee, now Barbour. All doing stupid s**t because of their own religious beliefs. I am beginning to think that my fellow born-again Christians have no business whatsoever in a seat of power like that.
YOU ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A FOLLOWER OF CHRIST, NOT A DAMNED MORON! Yes, there truly used to be difference.
“But what the state does and has done ... most people in Mississippi are Christians or profess to be Christians, and we believe in forgiveness and we believe in second chances,” he said.”
When these murderers do it AGAIN you soft sack of crap, give your forgiveness spiel to the new victims family. IN PERSON. I F’ING DARE YOU!
Put your money where your mouth is, Barbour, and have them live with you for six months, and leave your kids/grandkids alone with them.
“Romney is not all things”
Sure he is. If you listen long enough he’ll say something you like.
He will soon put his political after-life and southern charm to good use. He has announced his plans. He'll clean up monetarily as his law firm's front man/rainmaker, as a registered DC lobbyist and as a mega-bucks speaker on the rubber-chicken circuit.

So Barbour is a fan of mixing christianity and government when it benefits murders, but we should put our christianity on the back burner when it comes to the life of the unborn..... ?

He actually SAID that he did leave his grandchildren with them..... Which makes him more of an idiot
Unless Barbour can determine the condition of the released inmate’s heart in the eyes of God and Barbour is God, he can not pardon sins.
His job as Gov. is to protect the innocent from the suffering caused criminals. What he has done has nothing to do with Christianity. Christians know only God knows if someone has repented of their sins and that only God can forgive sins. He’s mocking Jesus.
