C.L's response. - Nevertheless, a person who breaks his promise to God and spouse once, will probably do it to you too, and is a poor risk. If it happens more than once it makes you wonder whose fault it is. If a person will mess up one life, he/she will mess up others. Marriage is not mandatory.
If you can't stand yourself, how can you expect others to want to be with you?
God may not have patience (we don't know how long), until a just God takes over. There is always two sides to an argument. Is it just to the divorced person's spouse? Is it just to a married man's wife to seduce him? We should not tempt the Lord, our God. People do not take marriage seriously enough. Try it, if you don't like it, then get a divorce. A vow is the calling on God to witness the truth of what you say. Do you really mean what you vow?.
If you ask forgiveness for one sin,do you keep on doing the same sin over and over?
There IS a heaven, AND there is a hell. You must at least INTEND to stop sinning, given the fact that we ARE weak Some people are gluttons for punishment.

There is a child rapist on Tennessee's death row who is scheduled to be executed and is a schizophrenic. Should he be punished by the state and executed, and denied the opportunity to repent??

From the Editor: As I understand it, repentence is a turning from sin and going in the opposite direction. Once you see that you've sinned, repentence can be immediate.
Repentence does not require making amends, unless you are able to do that. Who could make amends for killing a child? Just like the rest of us the death row inmate, has an opportunity to repent, to ask God for forgiveness, up until the time of his death.
Also the Bible says God's mercies are new every morning.
We can always ask for and receive God's mercy and His forgiveness, provided we forgive those who have hurt us. If we do not forgive others, we cannot be forgiven by God.
For a person whose heart is hardened, a spirit of repentence must come and bring a softening and an awakening to the fact that, "Yes I did wrong. Yes I committed sin."
In cases where people won't acknowlege their wrong doing, we need to ask God to send a spirit of repentence to them so they can receive forgiveness.
