I can't help wondering if the baby was one of those non-stop, round-the-clock screamers like my sister's 3-month-old brat that sometimes just will NOT shut up in the middle of the night. In that case, Deuteronomy 21:18-21 comes to mind and I think God just wanted to let that happen. I am sure even He needs a decent night's sleep now and then.

In any event, if this guy was hurting the baby and God did not like it, then God would not have sat there watching the proceedings and not intervening. Matthew 10:29 teaches that God sees and knows everything.

Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? and one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father.

If this baby died, God wanted it dead, if if it was one of those bawlers I can surely get why. I told my sister "next time you come over with that squawking howler monkey you can leave it in the darn car."

But I digress.

If Steven Smith is a true christian now, he should be let out of jail. In Matthew 10, Jesus tells us "Whosoever therefore shall confess me before men, him will I confess also before my Father which is in heaven."

As you know, at Landover we follow Christ's directive not to judge other people. I think if this young man is good enough for Jesus and heaven, he is good enough to be let out of prison to walk among the righteous (us) in the general population.

Truly heartwarming stuff!

It is truly heart warming to know that my God is full of mercy.
So much so that He is willing to take even the foulest sinner into His loving embrace, except of course blasphemers. I know I can't wait to see Steve in heaven with us.

Amen!

I just pray that if God, in his infinite wisdom, sees fit to grant me entry into Heaven, that I will one day shake Steven's hand. And what a beautiful moment it will be! To see a sinner, brought back from the brinks of hell, reunited with the God that created him.

It is so comforting to know that, though we may all make little mistakes in our lives, God is willing to open his heart and forgive us. Praise the Lord!

Exactly. And imagine how joyful it will be to see Smith and the youth of heaven play-wrestling and playing "tickle" on one of heaven's hillsides with a chorus of laughter and giddiness! The thought is truly inspiring!

That is truly the kind of imagery that reminds you why God is so great!

Steven was executed today. We will no doubt see him in heaven.
See you later, Steven.

Oh wow, that's sad news!

But he's in a better place now.

Luke 15:7 I say unto you, that likewise joy shall be in heaven over one sinner that repenteth, more than over ninety and nine just persons, which need no repentance.

[Mary Etheldreda]

What a beautiful testimony, SeekingEnlightenment!

His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord.
Matthew 25:23

Is there really anything more valuable to be entrusted than faith in Christ? Mr. Smith did that when he gave his life to Christ. Indeed there is praise in Heaven, for Mr. Smith's homecoming, and to glorify the Mercy of our LORD!

[Bjorn Jensen]

Brother Steven was a martyr for Christianity, he died for his faith. Obama will never be forgiven for murdering this fine Christian man

[Godfly]

His love of the baby Jesus gave him peace in the end. I think he was killed for being a Christian. Liberals don't have a problem with baby raping.

[Billy Bob Jenkins]

If those marijuana people can be helped, this guy could have been too.

Very sad.

[Elijah Mee, PhD]

Let's not be sad though, friends. God's own prodigal son has returned to him! Let's rejoice!

Exodus 15:13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the people which thou hast redeemed: thou hast guided them in thy strength unto thy holy habitation.

Did the baby even take the stand against him, to testify? The Accused have THE RIGHT to face their accuser in court. It is the law.

But I bet this whole thing was "rushed through", and all on "mom's word".

[Virginia Day Templeton]

This is wonderful! Anyone who would accuse us of being "hateful" should take a look at this topic.

[Elijah Mee, PhD]

I've heard a fair few cherry-pickers criticising this man recently; saying he's now burning in hell, the usual stuff. It really winds me up that these people are just twisting God's word to fit their own deluded, false Christian framework.

1 Peter 3:8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous

Steven Smith is our brother in Christ and I, for one, love him as I love my own brother.

[Bjorn Jensen]

Just look at all these comments, "he's burning in hell" they say, they dont know how wrong thy are. What a surprise it will be for them when they find out that its infact they who are going to hell and not Christians like Steven Smith, Jeffrey Dahmer, me, all other True Christians™ and Jesus, who will watch them and laugh when they get ass raped by Satan.

I shall be certain to pray for him, his repentance is truly admirable I hope to some day be as brave and pure as he.

Well said, young lady.

People oftentimes claim that Christianity is a hypocritical hateful religion that demeans women and the less economically viable members of society but this child raping murderer now sits at Jesus' right hand, enjoying eternal life

He may even meet his victim in heaven (unless they were a dirty slut as some may suspect) and can put bygones behind them and hold hands as they praise The Lord Jesus for ever and ever!

Score one for Jesus!

Do we know what the victim was wearing? Or how she acted? She very well could have done her best to seduce this poor man.

[WWJDnow]

That baby was asking for it by dressing so seductively. It's sad that Brother Smith got caught by the Devil's temptation and had to go through this terrible ordeal, but at least he's in a better place now.
