    Most Christians forget about the only person who was promised heaven was a criminal getting crucified beside Christ.

    So - you're going to make a case that we should all be criminals, so that we too can have a chance at paradise? Nahh - ignore that, I'm just being a smart ass.

    But, you certainly can't be doing anything terribly wrong is you're only sending a saved man home to be with his Father in Heaven, can you?

      Well being a criminal does not mean being a bad person, think of the people prosecuted and convicted of helping slaves escape. Recently read about the first woman to be hung in on of the colonies of New England, her crime was preaching Quakerism.
      The law only aligns with morals some of the time and other times it is at odds with morals.
      And they were killing the man who became saved before he was saved.
