If a man repents and ask for forgiveness, Jesus says we must do it.

Repentance means a turning away from the sin for which the penitent is sorry for (contrition). In my earlier posts, I described what turning away would look like. If I were a business owner that had a person referred to me by a prison ministry that I trust, then I would consider hiring that individual on the strength of their recommendation that true repentance has occurred and I can see some evidence of it.

I hope we have found something to agree on because I don't see that we really have any disagreement between us. You say people can change and we should make allowances to give them a shot. I agree and all I ask for is a little evidence of the change.

Well then, yes, we are in agreement. Most employers are not of that mindset. Most will not give anyone with a felony a chance.

A chance, that is all a truly repentant person wants. He fully understands the consequences of his earlier actions.
