  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Christopher Watts, a Colorado man who was found guilty in 2018 and then sentenced to life in prison without parole for murdering his pregnant wife, Shanann, and their two daughters, Bella and Celeste, says he’s now a changed man, thanks to the Gospel, and he believes God has forgiven him.

Watts, now 40, shared his thoughts on the state of his soul in letters to a female pen pal, as cited by the Daily Mail.

“I am a new man,” he declares in one letter. “I am not the person who committed those horrible acts. 2Corinthians 5:17 says, ‘if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new.’ That's me. I'm a new creature.”

If he is telling the truth,...
Free, Steven Curtis Chapman (1996)

Also, the thief on the cross next to Jesus was not some harmless burglar. He was a marauder; a mass murderer --think "land pirate!"

"But the [second thief], answering, rebuked him, saying,
'Do you not even fear God, seeing you are under the same condemnation?​
And we indeed justly, for we receive the due reward of our deeds; but this Man has done nothing wrong.'​
Then he said to Jesus, 'Lord, remember me when You come into Your kingdom.'

And Jesus said to him, 'Assuredly, I say to you, today you will be with Me in Paradise.' ” Luke 23:40-43 NKJV

Further, he is not eligible for parole, so his testimony grants him no "legal" advantage.
If he continues in his faith, it is the real deal.

If he is truly repentant, then God already forgave him. That’s all.
