A question to Christians

[Justtristo]

Jeffery Dahmer before his death became a born again Christian, in that he professed Jesus Christ as his lord and savior. Also I assumed he repented of the sins he had committed.

As I see it regardless of his past actions and according to Christian doctrine. Jeffery Dahmer is now in heaven because of the actions I mentioned above he did before he died, which made him righteous in the eyes of god.

I am asking do this find this disturbing in any way whatsoever. I do admit if I were a Christian, I would not be troubled by it at all. Because I would praise god being glorified by saving these people and it would give me great hope that whatever sins I have committed, as long as I repent of them I can be assured of going into heaven.

Yep God is the judge /ie only he knows.

I watched the documentary about Duch of the Khmer Rouge ...I thought he was making it up.

Which is exactly equivalent to saying no one is the judge, and no one knows.

To a non believer, that's true.

Existence is independent of belief. It's true for everyone, some just don't like the sound of it.

I am fully aware of that, but as far as I know Dahmer's conversion and repentance seemed to be quite genuine.

Not saying it isn't possible at all. K change tack...

I am fully behind the idea of total forgiveness. That isn't to say that people don't have to make amends, be truly repentant for bad stuff they've done. I guess to us Christians turning to God is the ultimate acceptance of good being the right answer. If, in your heart you've turned to that, then everything follows. What's the difference between someone who does a little bad and someone who does a lot: none. Both are bad. And someone who legally does bad (rich people) is second worst of all. Worst are religious people.
