What if Hasan Gets Saved?
Posted by truthtalklive on 18 November, 2009
Nadal Malik Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of murder after opening fire at Ft. Hood, Texas.
The event shocked the nation and President Obama said that justice would be served.
But what if Hasan repents and comes to Christ? How would that make you feel? Would you rejoice or perhaps feel cheated of the opportunity to see God’s judgement.
What about the families of the 13 victims?
A lot of questions, and we want to hear from you. If you can’t get through, feel free to leave your comments here.

If he’s going to try it then he’d better hurry the heck up because his future is looking more and more grim…and short[As short as being on Death Row for years and years can be, anyway].
May the hearts of the families of the thirteen victims eventually be healed, and if not, always find the strength to bear the pain and the wisdom to not prejudge those of differing faiths.
Forgiveness is probably the most difficult task we are asked to accomplish as Christians. As the father of a young soldier getting ready to deploy I am deeply troubled that someone that was so obviously unstable was not dealt with properly and that we lost 13 hero’s because of that. (Yes, I consider everyone of our troops to be hero’s) As a Christian I know what my responsibility is in regards to forgiveness but if one of those 13 were my child I would be having a real hard time with that right now. I have learned over the years that I have to forgive in my heart anyone who has done me wrong whether they ask for it or not and the sooner the better. If I do not forgive them in my own heart, without being asked, it will turn into sin and that affects my relationship with my Savior.
One more thought, sorry – “Would you rejoice or perhaps feel cheated of the opportunity to see God’s judgment.”
We should rejoice. We should also be grateful that each of us as Christians will not see God’s judgment of our sins. ‘Oh God I am so glad that I am not like that sinner over there . . . . “
It would be a great testimony to the grace of God if Hasan were too repent and be saved. In that case, his sin would have been paid for at Calvary. Nevertheless, he should still be subjected to temporal punishment. The repentant thief on the cross knew he was getting what he deserved, (“And we indeed justly, for we are receiving the due reward of our deeds”). Thanks to my Calvinism, I’m not worried that Hasan may be executed before he gets the “chance” to repent… But we will be amazed at some of the people who “make it” to haven, (and even more amazed at those who don’t…)
Jim, I concur with you, he should receive temporal punishment. He broke mans laws and should be punished accordingly. And while I don’t think Calvin has anything to do with it I also believe that he will have the opportunity to repent and accept Christ before he leaves this earth just as every person does.
