Ariel Castro, who pleaded guilty to more than 900 counts of kidnapping, rape and murder, was found dead in his cell,

That will save an awful lot of taxpayer money.
Hope he’s burning in hell, slowly but intensely!
"Oh no! What should we do? Let's take a vote. Should we take pictures? Should we cut the sheet? Oh, well! I guess we've discussed the solution for a few minutes now. Do you think we should check on him?"
What’s the old saying? Give a man enough rope and eventually he’ll hang himself with it.
No burial. Just put his naked corpse on display in the center of town for angry villagers to throw rotten produce at.
I could never buy into the notion that a person could live a life of heinous depravity and evil, and then have his soul saved just by begging for forgiveness on his deathbed. That just goes against all the natural laws of Cause and Effect.
So I guess the 1,000 year part of his sentence just started.
The fires burn but do not consume, thus extending his suffering throughout eternity.
Castro’s last charitable act for the taxpayer. He jumped out of the frying pan into the fire.
What do A. Castro, Ted Kennedy, and Robert KKK Byrd have in common?
For his sake, I hope he came to Christ.
I agree.
This should be the hope of Christians.
Salvation is the loophole to cause and effect. Jesus suffered and died to pay the ultimate price for our sins. He takes the effect upon himself
If cause and effect held true, we'd ALL burn in hell because not one of us can ever suffer enough for the sin we have committed.
In God's eyes every sin, no matter how heinous or how trivial, is the same. They are all disobedience and the penalty for disobedience is eternal death (separation from God). We have all sinned so we are all guilty and we all need to be saved.
God is perfect and nothing except perfection is permitted in His presence. How can something that is flawed and corrupt (us) ever be made perfect? It can't by itself. It needs to be remade. The price for that sin must be paid and Jesus paid it all for us. In fact, this is why Jesus had to die for us to be saved. We are not perfect and thus we cannot offer a perfect sacrifice to "perfect" ourselves. No matter what we do or what we give we will always be flawed. Only a perfect sacrifice could remake us. And of all the men who ever lived only Jesus is perfect. Either He paid the price or it couldn't be paid.
The problem with a death bed conversion is if you wait ill then you may not have time to get saved. death can come awfully quick.
It's far better to repent of your sins now and call on the Lord to save you. Life will be far better for you, and for those around you.
Salvation makes no logical sense whatsoever. We did the crime we should do the time. But God loved us so much that He made a way around it.
Thank you for your comments. I was relating more to all of the others, generally happy that the man is dead.
Yes, the man was vile and evil. God will deal with him justly, and perhaps this is part of it. He will heal those poor girls as well.
I always think of the Apostle Paul, who was notorious for murdering Christians. I don’t even pretend to understand the extent of God’s mercy. I am just thankful for it.
I’m sure he requested a belt and they obliged and turned their back.
How long until the Castro family sues? I’m thinking before the day is over. The lawyer vultures are circling over the Castro family residence waiting for an invite.
Folks think their lives will be better if they just go about their business and repent at the last minute. What they don’t realize is that if they repent now, their lives get better right away.
*Hell has it’s newest member.*
Now he’s going to REALLY pay for his crimes.
I wonder if his punishment in Hell will be as horrific as what he did to his victims?
“Hell has it’s newest member.”
I am sure Castro has a special place in hell with personal 1:1s with Satan on a regular basis.
The Earth is much better off today.
