Bible Question:
Hi, When a criminal is sentenced to death, will prayers help in any way before and after the death penalty has been carried out? Your comments, please. Thanks |
Bible Answer: Hello Robert - Good to see you again on SBF. Sir, the Christian can certainly pray for any living man, woman or child, but there is no biblical support for praying for the dead. The Bible is very clear that there are no exceptions concerning God's judgment. There is no reincarnation. The time to prepare is not after death but before it: "It is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment" (Hebrews 9:27, KJV). ..... "...behold, now is the accepted time; behold, now is the day of salvation" (2 Cor. 6:2b, KJV). .... "How shall we escape, if we neglect so great salvation; which at the first began to be spoken by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them that hear him" (Hebrews 2:3, KJV) --Hank |
