Do you think Jesus would have said the same of Ted Bundy as he did the prostitute?

A difficult question. Sin is sin... I think it is intent that matters to some degree. I do not think that mankind has developed enough to see the effects of our actions far enough into the future to be able to judge... therefore all sin should be considered the same.

The Bible says the heart is deceitfully wicked above all things. Sometimes we tend to think of ourselves as better sinners when we compare our misdeeds to those of others. Nothing shocks God and He sees our hearts for what they are.

I am sure He would have an answer for Ted Bundy, just as surprising but definitely not the same as he had for the woman who was caught in adultery.. i.e. He paid the servants who had worked but an hour the same amount he paid those who had worked all day. What is it to us?

He will do what He wants as long as we get the message. Stay blessed.

I think Jesus was condemning capital punishment, in general. I don't believe Jesus would say, Let the murderer go and be free. But my belief is that capital punishment, i.e.

The death penalty, is wrong. It is murder. I believe that Jesus would say, if a person breaks the law, send him or her to jail.

If the person commits a sin, God will take care of it. Jesus said (and I paraphrase) people used to say, an eye for an eye... but I say no.

The prostitute had a contrite and truthful heart. She acknowledged what she was. It was her forthcoming and honest answers that caused Jesus to even take notice of her.

She told that He already knew! Did Ted Bundy, confess and express remorse for what he had done? ( honestly, I do not know, if he ever expressed regret)Remorse, confession and a willingness to turn away from our wrong doing is what brings about forgiveness.

There is no sin, that Jesus won't or can't forgive, other that blasphemy against God. ** I disagree with JGhoul, prostitution is NOT a victimless crime. There are millions of children, and teenagers forced into this activity.

Even grown, mature and seasoned women are beaten by their pimps, for not earning enough. All of this, and destroyed marriages.

Jesus would probably have considered Bundy as inhabited by a demon (or demons) and exorcised him, after which Bundy would have been healed and ready to rejoin humanity. Prostitutes are usually thought of as victims of their own bad judgement or forced into prostitution to survive, but not demonized. Prostitutes basically only have to stop selling themselves and then they aren't prostitutes anymore, just tainted.

There are greater and lesser sins, and manmade laws are in order to ensure that the punishment fits the crime, so no one gets stoned to death in the village square anymore, in civilized lands.

Firstly every single person is a sinner, that's where it starts.......all need forgiveness and the covering of Jesus Christs blood "Water Baptism" called Born again and the Baptism in the Holy Spirit. Besides that there is no other Redemption available..........Its not the sin that keeps you out of Eternal life its the rejection of Jesus Christ.

The question is. Who is the prostitute? I would rather be a prostitute any day than a Pharisee.

Jesus said that the prostitutes enter the kingdom of heaven before others. "the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you" -(new testament).

A lot of scholars believe that there was a heavy element of hypocrisy in that story. One common theory, with some support, is that the woman had been caught with a low level religious leader, and perhaps the situation had been deliberately created to give the Pharisees a dilemma with which they could trip up Jesus. Personally, I also wonder if the fact that the Pharisees were a religious ogranization might have played a role - the New Testament is absolutely clear that governments can, should, and must dole out punishment to criminals.So perhaps Jesus' point was, withhold judging someone on spiritual grounds.

Prostitution is a "victimless crime"; the suffering is inflicted primarily on other guilty parties. The Ted Bundys of the world end innocent lives; no one writing in the New Testament would have suggested that he be released as the woman caught in adultery was. Individual believers are called to forgive; that does not conflict with the duty of the government to punish evil so as to protect life.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
