Did You Know?
Milton writes, “I do not know whether I
agree with you that Jesus has forgiven
every terrible sin that has ever been
committed. Some sins are just too bad.
For example I do not agree that Hitler’s sins are forgiven.
The man was total evil.”
“Yes, I say Jesus has forgiven all sins, but I say it only
because Jesus said it first. Yes, Hitler’s actions were
totally evil, but Jesus has forgiven all sins. Past, present
and future! Including Hitler’s sins. The distinction we
must make is that although Hitler’s actions were
‘objectively’ totally sinful, only God knows whether they
were ‘subjectively’ sinful. Sin is rooted in intention and,
since only God can see into our hearts, minds and souls
(where intention resides), only God can determine what
is subjectively sinful. That is why Jesus tells us to never
JUDGE. In addition, although Hitler’s sins were
forgiven, he may have used his free will to reject Jesus’
forgiveness. Unfortunately, many do.”
Jesus tells us to visit the imprisoned. If you cannot,
consider writing to them. Here are several websites you
can use.
